Does IQ bear any relation to a person’s ability to function on a day to day...

If every letter in the alphabet had a personality, which one do you think you...
My instant thought is of Hairy Hat Man. When I was little, we were taught to think of the letters as people, so we could see how they interacted. The Hatman was allergic to the Cat, so when you had...
