Common sense.

That's a part of it, I suppose.

Social intelligence is a more clearly-defined concept than I can do off the top of my head, but there are several types of intelligence, of whih the IQ is useful for about... Three, usually. Social intelligence has to do with how good a person does in his or her interactions with others, for instance how easy that person finds it to start and maintain a conversation, how good he/she is at reading people and so on.

I think being a walking mass of complexes and insecurities (or not) is a part of the person's social intelligence because it has pretty much everything to do with interpersonal interactions.

My IQ usually measures about 145.  Once I went through a battery of tests and had that score broken down into three parts:

Spatial: (all those silly little shapes) below average - that was as much as they told me.

Mathematical: average.

Verbal: off the scale.  I did all the questions well within the time limit, which was not supposed to happen.  Also, I got them all right, which is even stranger.  No numerical score assigned.

About the same here, with a perfect score on verbal. I did score above average on math though.

When my wife left school at 16 she went to the London College of Fashion where she learned to be a hairdresser, a skill she never used. However she went on to get a couple of degrees and a PhD in psychology related areas. She lectures and writes (chapters in 6 academic books now) in the childhood development area. Psychology is an interesting area of study as "there's now't so queer as folk!"
