Oldest child, smartest child?
A new study says your older brother is smarter than you. My older brother is definitely more math smart, the kind of guy that actually likes to take math books and solve equations for fun (nerdy? yes) but then I'm more writing and english smart. I like to take blogs and write on them for fun (also nerdy? umm, try rad). But what do you think? Is this true in your family?

In truth, any standardized measure of intelligence rates me as smarter than my siblings, however I don't know that I put much stock in those. My brother and sister are both bright, and they both posses certain types of intelligence not measured by standardized tests in much greater amounts than I do.
Plus, I'm the laziest.
i listened to your little schpiel on the radio re: this and i am the only girl and wonder if that makes a difference (apparently they only tested men?). i did used to have my dad make up math problems for me (definitely pre-adolescent years), probably because i liked the praise when i got them right.
when i get older i realized i didn't actually like math.
(I don't know if the above is actually true, I just thought of it while I read your post and it made me laugh.
But none of that really makes sense, seeing as how I am...a...freaking...genius.
By inference, this must mean my older siblings are off the charts brilliant. Can't wait to tell them the good news.

I don't believe in typos.
