L'intelligence peut prendre de multiples formes et je trouve que de mesurer le Q.I. avec les tests classiques que l'on connaît est réducteur. La capacité à résoudre des problèmes et la faculté à transposer les connaissances acquises dans un domaine vers un tout autre domaine ou dans une différente situation sont à mon avis de bons marqueurs de la vivacité d'esprit. Il y a des universitaires qui sont doués pour régurgiter leur cursus scolaire, mais les personnes créatives et débrouillardes m'impressionnent davantage.
Lana, excuse-moi de te répondre en anglais.
I understand perfectly what you are saying and I agree. There are different kinds of intelligence and different ways to measure intelligence.
People (whether female or male) who are supposedly "well educated" (in the sense of having spent a lot of time in academic pursuits and/or having fancy diplomas) are not necessarily intelligent. I have spent my career around "well educated" people and many of them are consummate idiots. On the other hand, some people whose formal education did not go beyond high school are highly intelligent (in the traditional sense of cognitive intelligence).
Also as you suggest, some people have a gift for a different kind of intelligence such as emotional intelligence or musical intelligence.
The best escorts are often the ones who possess what some psychologists call "interpersonal intelligence" i.e. the ability to read another person's personality and adapt herself to the person's mood, values, motivations and intentions. When a client meets such an escort, he gets the feeling of "we just clicked together". With such a girl, the client cares less about the girls's build, hair color, age, breast size etc. and more about the feeling he gets from the girl. I have known that feeling with escorts and civilian women too.
Of course, cognitive intelligence is still important in life. Men and women who are highly intelligent (as measured by IQ tests) generally make better doctors, rocket scientists and teachers. If an escort happens to have high cognitive intelligence that can also be a good thing. As the old saying goes, the brain is the most important sex organ.
I also think that having a good sense of humor is a sign of high intelligence. And you, Mlle. Red, are obviously a woman of high intelligence because you correctly perceived my response to the initial question to be sarcastic. Obviously I have met many women who are smarter than me-a lot smarter than me-and I have liked and admired them a lot. As for whether I ever met an escort who is smarter than me-well, maybe but I don't know and I don't really care. As long as she has some measure of interpersonal intelligence, that is all that I need.
