I never said serving lowers one's IQ. I was in the service and I have a high IQ. In fact, the service (Air Force) helped save my life... My acquantance with a low emotional IQ was in Air Force intelligence!
And I was not referring, specifically, to analytical intelligence. What I meant by dense, more than anything, was being egocentric, closed-minded, unwilling (to listen to a subordinate/client, in this case), and dishonest about certain things. (My mother, on the other hand, was dishonest about everything.)
It seems to me you took what I said personally... I studied sociology for a few years and was developing a sociological theory (Ph.D. level theory, according to my would-be mentor) many years ago. I know a bit about socialization in this society. I haven't attended an actual class in 17 years though, so I'm rusty... One could not listen (attentively) to subordinates, yet kiss ass when it comes to superiors.
*looking over post again* I will not converse about specifics on the forum. If you wish to discuss this further via messages, that's fine. I'll do my best to address your concerns. But this is too personal to bicker about. Again, I'm sorry I offended you... It's obvious to me we're not on the same page when it comes to this subject matter and all its variables.
