You can be a genius in one area and be a total idiot in another, no matter what your IQ is.

People assume smart people are smart in every area of their lives. But even Einstein got divorced to be with his first and second cousin (they were the same woman). He constantly cheated on whatever partner he was with. So, not so smart about relationships or STDs.
