i much prefer doing things *SOLO* because other people’s standards are below mine.

You should be able to tell after conversing with someone 1 on 1 for like an hour, IF & HOW smart and capable they are.

And by smart, that has nothing to do with IQ test levels.

Intellectual capacity measured by a number isn’t necessarily the correct method of measuring a person’s actual intelligence nor accurate; neither are grades.

After talking to someone for an hour, you should be able to figure out if a person is interesting and whether they are one of your people!

And also get a good feel for *WHO* they are as a person, and if you like them as a person.

And would hang out with them again or not.

Life is short, you could get hit by a car tomorrow or be involved in some random freak accident — NO POINT in spending time with people you don’t like!
