Spontaneous consultation

An explosion of ideas and collaborative exchange of information with colleagues, office mates, clinical supervisors or spouses, caused by a localized anxiety-increasing reaction for the clinician needing ideas and/or inspiration for client care and may or may not involve the addition of an alcoholic beverage.

Often characterized by a sudden bursting into an anxiety-fueled monologue with, hopefully, another professional, regarding a complicated case that has one perplexed, feeling inadequate, hopeless, or in amazement about.

As soon as I got home from work I had a spontaneous consultation with my wife about an issue at work.

Subtle conflation

Subtle conflation between sucess and intelligence or education and intelligence.

Hym "The only real measure of intelligence is verbal intelligence. The ability to convert abstraction into articulated thought and then speech. And is largely learned. As opposed to mathematical aptitude which is largely inate or inherent. Nice subtle conflation though. Just admit that you want everyone to be nice to retards. That's all this framing of intelligence really is. Nice to retard mean to 'bigots". That's you're conceptualization of intelligence."
