read somewhere that ''vertical'' people have a higher IQ.

Ok, did you actually read this somewhere, or is this one of those DF made-up statistic things?

I am a ''horizontal'' person, but I also have a very high IQ (''genius'' level or whatever ..)

Hi Lilyfoot,
I''m so relieved!!!!! I''m vertical, and also tested very high IQ (in the 140 range), but both my kids and my husband are horizontals, and I believe that my son (7) has at least my IQ! I can''t wait for him to get tested, and my dh is definitely smarter than me!

Also, I tried to find other high IQ indicators, and one said 80% of people with high IQ are introverts. I must be in the other 20%.....so these things mean squat.

I write mine vertical first.

This is a funny question! It makes me wonder how many people write their "8" with one stroke or make two circles lke a snowman...

That one we taught the kids to "make an S and close the gate to make the numeral 8"

Why, yes, I do.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Speaking of IQ, I have a funny story to tell: when my dad went back to college to get his Masters in Education, he was in a class that was learning the right way to test IQ in small children. A fellow student asked my Dad if she could use me as her test subject, so off I went to undergo my first IQ test. The test nearly came to an early end because she was trying so hard not to laugh . . . she had asked me what ''hari kari'' meant, and I replied that he was the announcer for the Chicago Cubs!

This is soooo funny: I just asked DH how he makes his 5s, and he said he starts with the horizontal line, BUT then he goes back over the horizontal line again when he''s done! So I guess he''s a horizontal person AND a vertical person! LOL!
