IQ tests..mensa...online IQ tests..military tests. There a a million ways to measure a persons intelligence...or just plain old common knowledge...or wit. I could sit here and riddle off some numbers and show you all how very stupid I am ;-D..but I won't.

Where I grew up (Canton), a man named Bill lived across the street from me. I have known him since I was 4. He worked in a factory all his life, and was raised in West Virginia.
This man could take you into the woods and make you a salad in 10 minutes. He could name every tree and plant as well.
He could take apart a car or truck and reassemble it better than it was. During High School he taught me how to get an extra 5 miles to the gallon in my old beater, by tweeking here and there. He could out fish or out hunt any person I know. He had a million jokes and never repeated you the same one. Some of the best advice I have had in my life came from that man. He had a 2nd grade education and could only read and write his name. Nuff said. There is nothing more important than enjoying life and the people around you.
Maybe this is the reason I try to be a better Father than the day before?

Take care
Jason
