what is your most intellect achievement?

I am not talking about the time you tricked the arab guy at the 7-11 and stole a case of miller high life

but an achievement that you studied for or just something you were on your A game at the right time and place.

me, I just got a 705 on GMAT and so proud. I have been studing and taking so many classes on it. I have taken it so many times as well. I just need to get some money to go grad school now (broke)

my other Mensa moment (not a member)I went a great distance to prove my boss wrong, I did that and he was pissed at me. so it wasnt all that great

last year i did a presentation in front of about 100 of my peers. . .most of whom have quite a bit more experience than me. . .i had to do about 2 hours of talking. . .the week leading up to it, i was so busy that i didn't get to work on my presentation a whole lot. . .i ended up writing a substantial portion of it while i was on the highway driving to the conference. . .i had the car on cruise, i was driving with my knees, and i was writing while i was driving (yeah, i know, not the safest thing to do. . .but desperate times call for desperate measures). . .anyway, i rocked the house. . .i was just "on". . .everything just kind of "flowed". . .i love when shit like that happens. . .

Did your wife give you "great achievement" sex later that evening?
 
Loaded question. I graduated a decent college without trying in the least bit, got my MBA at 23 without trying in the least bit and still being top of the class, got my #1 job choice outta grad school, have done a ton at work already. But I don't really consider that stuff "intellectual".
 
Schooling some nuggas on the itubes when I was 18 was pretty fucking exhilerating... propelled me to the top of the class, was speaking at events shortly there after for a few years...

:worried: Then everyone was doing it...
 
IIRC I got a 1280 or so combined on the math/verbal sections of the GRE. I think managing to get a B in my Discrete Modeling class was a bigger achievement though. Goddamn that shite was challenging.
 
I'm usually more of a quick witted intellecter. School was never hard, but I never picked anything that challenged me that much because I had to sit still for too long.

Maybe finishing the Philadelphia Inquirer on my own when I was in high school? I doubt I could do it now for some reason *cough burnout*
 
One time I played a practical joke on my roommate back in college. He went out to work a night shift and he left a couple of boiled eggs in the fridge to eat when he got home. So I took 2 raw eggs, sanded down a very small portion of the shell to thin it out enough to stick a hypodermic needle through it and suck out all the yolk and white out of them. It took forever but I finally got it all out. Then I injected water into the empty egg shells, and put those in the place of the 2 boiled ones he had. When he got home and cracked open his eggs, water spilled everywhere! Haha!

Either that, or when I was on the principals honer roll in college.

Read the book How To Win Friends and Influence People. It pretty much deals with how to deal with people's inability to deal with criticism. Yeah it's fucked up but apparently true.
 
I got accepted to Cornell Law School, but I went to U of L instead because I got a scholarship at u of l.

What's U of L?

Where did you go for undergrad?

What was your undergrad degree?

Do you think attending Cornell Law School would have given you more professional opportunities?

thx ... inquiring minds what to know

Never graduated college, always regretted that decision.

Successfully running an oil and gas company and doing consulting in the industry is kinda fun. Writing and illustrating children's books was also a great accomplishment, much more difficult than writing books for adults.

I think though, giving 45 minute presentations to 6 through 8 y/o about becoming anything you want to be regardless of what anyone else says was pretty freaking awesome. The kids were spellbound and didn't want my presentations to end. All the teachers were amazed at how involved the children were during the entire time.

THAT took a tremendous amount of mental effort but was well worth it. :) Hope to be able to get back to that some time in the future.
 
I took an anatomy class in college and there were 6 different classes teaching the same course.. Over 250 students total and the grade was on class average. I had the highest total score out of all students... I'm proud of that... I had the 12th highest score out of over 600 students in a self paced biology course and I didn't even try hard for that course... Twice I had the highest total score (written and physical score combined) for city law enforcement agencies out of over 80 applicants.

Yet, I can't find my way around the block.
I can't speak in front of a group of people unless I have a memorized speech. My mind goes blank.

I would be making LOTS more money right now had I gone to Cornell. That is a top ten law school. I went to Brandeis School of Law at University of Louisville in Kentucky because my tuition was paid in full by academic scholarship. Cornell was way more than I could afford, unfortunately. I did love my law school though. The people were way more friendly than most other schools. Plus, UofL is very pro-woman and pro-minority. For undergrad, I went to UNC at Greensboro. I LOVED it there! NC is the BEST state to live.

Getting my MS in Quantitative Finance and building an ass kicking statistical model that explained 77% of the variation in equity returns in the luxury goods industry using only 1 exogenous variable and an autoregressive, moving average process.

Yeah, it's totally boring to normal people, but it was a money maker for the folks I was managing money for at the time and, from an intellectual perspective, it was Miller Time. Ain't nothing like the thrill of discovery.
