Description
High scorers are sexually attracted to people who possess intelligence and mental acuity. They are physically aroused by people who show curiosity, quick wit, and a capacity for complex thinking.
High scorers are more likely to prioritize intelligence above physical characteristics and may even find intellectual stimulation as arousing as, and a pre-requisite of, physical intimacy.
