Nate having a higher IQ than Ellen actually makes a lot of sense. All the pieces of schoolwork that we have seen from Ellen are products of hard work and studying. All the work we have seen from Nate is just lazily and sloppily made. He likely doesn’t put any effort into his work because he is bored at his school because he is not being challenged enough, another trait of academic giftedness. As for tests, again, he is bored, so he doesn’t want to study. His quality of work also explains this. Nate likely has a learning disability where the work he produces doesn’t look very nice. Learning disabilities also go hand-in-hand with academic giftedness.
Some other examples of different kinds of smartness: Reasoning, logic, skepticism, adaptability, wisdom, understanding, memory, independence, Perception, creativity, exploitation, knowledge, leadership, foresight, and teambuilding.

There is the theory of multiple intelligence, also. Which one do you think Nate is? Visual? Kinesthetic?

He may be the smartest, but doesn´t make him the wisest.

Again, Emotional Quotient is vastly different from Intelligence Quotient, and some might say equally important. Nate’s EQ? exactly his age.

IQ is just a measure of potential. If you do nothing with it, then it is meaningless.

I had no idea what sagacity means until this comic, but I thought it sounded like a city of long epic Tolkien-esque tales!
