+
+Once I took a IQ test and I came out slightly to the left of the peak of the bell curve. Acordingly, I can claim that I am slightly below average intelligence. That's a good thing.
+
+At first I was surprised because like everyone else I chanced that I was slightly more intelligent than the next guy. I had this thought when I was taking the test - I *knew* I was getting the majority of the questions right. But of course I wasn't.
+
+Later on, I realised that in groups of people - at work or wherever - I often play dumb. I like to listen and stay quiet, even when the topic of conversation is about something I know well or have an opinion on.
+
+I prefer to hear people, to find out how they do things, what they think, or how they deal with situations. I have my own views, but find it boring hearing my own voice saying something that I already know. No surprises, and bland. And I don't learn anything.
+
+Most people don't really listen anyway. They're too busy thinking about what they want to say next.
+
+Even if the IQ test is wrong, there's no harm in believing that you're on the left of the bell curve. More listening, more learning, less talking.
