Haha that's me almost exactlyThat's a good point, I probably fall into the same category as Welshy. I forget organisational things which can make me seem absent-minded or dopey but I can solve almost any problem and have got through school, college and university without revising for more than 2 hours for an exam
God knows how many birthdays I've missed, or forgotten about important dates...I agree 100% that intelligence and common sense are in no way related. You can get some stupidly clever people who have little or no social skills/common sense, and you can get less clever people who are likely to be some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
If they're related in any way, it's that they are two qualitys that are quite rarely both found in the same person.
