Signs of Low Intelligence
When someone begins an email or a letter with "My name is..."
Your name is on the return address of the envelope or in the email header, and you sign your name at the end of the message.
I just got such an email from a potential new client and promptly deleted it after I saw "my name is." I don't even know what they were inquiring about. Dim clients are more work for the same amount of pay.
What are some other signs of idiocy that should prompt you to avoid someone?

OP, depending upon your job level in the workplace, you may not open your own mail and thus not even see the envelope.
I agree with R3-6.

There is nothing wrong with introducing yourself in an email. You are the idiot.

Providing an answer to a question that displays you didn't understand the question. Providing vague answers to questions. Making points that have nothing to do with the topic. All signs of poor reading and listening comprehension.

Intelligence is relative. If we dropped you off in the Australian Outback with the Aboriginies, telling you to fend for yourself, then I'm sure they'd look at you and say "Wow! What a dumb-ass!"
It could just be that the person never learned to write a proper letter.

I heard something interesting about how Australian Aborigines don't have words for left or right. Their directional language is all about where you in relation to the sun. So, your left arm is a different arm depending on which direction you're standing in and the time of day, etc. The person from elsewhere who was living with these people and learning the language and culture mentioned having such a hard time with this until one day something clicked in her head and she no longer perceived herself as coming from like behind her own eyes but rather saw herself now in the context of a bird's eye view from above, as just a speck amongst all these other specks. And when she told one of the members of the community that this way of thinking was helping her grasp their concept of spatial orientation, he was like, "Well, yeah, how else would you do it? Of course you look at yourself from above."

No OP it's not a sign of low intelligence. But deleting an email based on the first 3 words written certainly is.

I imagine OP to be the same person who started the thread entitled 'Choices we make that push us into the lower classes'. And while being lower class has a certain element of choice one has no control of ones level of intelligence and therefore it is cruel and unjust to judge and condemn those we deem less smart than us. OP 's superiority complex in itself is lower class.

"People with zero ambition."
R2, I've known intelligent people with little ambition, and unintelligent people who are ambitious and own their own businesses.

Being unable to distinguish different types of ambition and then assuming everyone who doesn't seek the same things you seek in life are unintelligent. Not everyone aspires to middle management, OP. Keep dreaming and maybe you'll make it all the way to department head one day!
