in general, humans will not learn unless it directly affects them, and even then that is iffy.



And that is something I will probably never understand. I always learned from other people like for example I see a kid throw chairs, he is in the office for the rest of the day. I never wanted to be sent to the office and be bored. I hated boredom so I knew to never throw chairs or I go to the office and will be there for the rest of the day. But was that my literal mind or what?

that was you knowing which side your bread was buttered on, speaking figuratively. you have an adequately functioning brain in this case. sociopaths do not learn from punishment, in general- they keep making the same kinds of mistakes if not the same mistakes, concentrating their efforts at not getting caught next time, if that.

League_Girl, I was about to type the same. Just consider it to be your intelligence and use that assumption to boost your mood, selfconfidence and feeling of self-worth whenever needed. Alternatively, it could have been your SQ that allowed you to make these conclusions. ;)
I also learned from other people's mistakes and I fail to understand how people struggle with learning from that. If I recall correctly, in my diagnosis papers it is stated that my SQ is above average.

As for that website, best of to just ignore it. I haven't even heard of it until recently.

I think people should just stop talking about them. It makes more sense to me than continuing this thread.
