My wife and I are pretty close, as all our standardized tests were close. I pick up things faster; she worked harder in school.

How do you and your SO compare?

    I'm smarter. But then again, I don't have a SO so the competition really isn't that high...

    This is something I don't have to worry about!

    Depends on the subject matter.

    We're pretty closely matched. I excel in some areas she doesn't, and vice-versa.

    I tend to go for smart guys...the guy I'm talking to right now is a college professor with a PhD in Political Science. I'm smart, but not formally educated. A semester here and there of college.

    Where one lacks, the other makes up. He has his strengths as do I. But looking back at how we scored on standardized tests and school work... I WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bigsmile:

    My SO and I are pretty evenly matched. We both went to grad school for Accounting/Business. Different undergrads though, mine was Accounting and his was Sport Management. Still, I think we are both pretty smart!

    We are pretty much equal. Although he tends to think he knows everything. :laugh:

    I have more common sense, he has more book sense. I react in the moment and he thinks forever and a day about it. :)

    About the same. I might have a couple of points on him, but not many. :bigsmile:

    I'm more book smart, she's more street smart.
    I learn faster, she tries harder.
    I work IT, she works HR.
    I'm tech savvy, she has trouble with setting clocks.
    I'm an introvert, she's an extrovert.

    Basically, we're two sides to one coin. She completes me.

    My husband is really smart, although he doesnt see it! I do...every day. I think he should have went to college to become some history professor or something! He knows so much about history, watches jeopardy every night and beats most of them on the show! Im not that smart at all...maybe in the woman department, how to cook, bake, take care of a child and clean! lol He wonders why I ask him so many questions. He says "why are you asking me, go look it up" i tell him, well its a compliment, I think he knows everything! :)

    Continued....

    Although, he is always up-to-date on current events and politics. I could care less! So he is definitely more intelligent in those areas :)

    I am WAY smarter - learn things faster, solve problems better. The husband, tho, has an uncanny memory --- if it comes out of a movie or a song, he'll remember it forever. If it comes out of my mouth, not so much...

    We're both know-it-alls but I actually DO know-it-all. :laugh:
