Back in the 70s
a friend and I looked up famous writer's and their IQs in the World Almanac and found that many writers had average IQs as far as IQ tests go, but they all had one thing in common--a genuis for writing.

...and....
...Mr. McCourt is simply a damn good story teller and a very adaptable person, hence, he is indeed intelligent....American entertainers/media personalities are really not a good example of intelligent people rising above their squalid beginnings...more about attractiveness than talent and intelligence...in fact I'd say many of them are not intelligent at all, because if you took them out of the vacuum in which they dwell, they'd be back on the proverbial broken down porch....

getting away from the academic dullard's blah blah blah and realizing...
....and knowing, that intelligence is nothing more than a person's ability to successfully learn about and adapt to most situations that they encounter in life. Such a definition then disperses all the other gauges used to measure intelligence and IQ factors, etc, become superfluous.
