Can't we just establish that we are smarter, better and cooler than all the rest? I agree that IQ tests are a insufficient means to measure ones intelligence...especially as there are so many different types of intelligence that those tests completely ignore (emotional or social intelligence, for example). It strikes me, however, that BDSM people seem to be rather well educated, smart and in general thinking and reflecting a lot...I do believe that there is some kind of connection between intelligence (in its widest sense) and an inclination towards BDSM...but that might just be my vanity
