'''Encephalaroace''', or '''encie aroace''', is a term for one who is both [[encephalosexual]] and [[encephaloromantic]]. This is an [[A-Spec|a-spec]] identity in which one does not experience [[Sexual Attraction|sexual]] or [[Romantic Attraction|romantic attraction]] until an intellectual bond is formed, or until one experiences [[Mental Attraction|mental attraction]]. An intellectual bond is related to sharing of wisdom, knowledge, hobbies, aspirations, and interests. One can only experience sexual/romantic attraction to those whom they intellectually bond with and/or experience mental attraction to. However, this does not mean one will be sexually/romantically attracted to ''everyone'' they intellectually bond with/experience mental attraction to. It just opens it up as a possibility.
This is ''not'' "sexual/romantic attraction to smart individuals," nor is it a sexual/romantic orientation which one can use to gatekeep intelligence. It is only to be used in the context of mental attraction and close intellectual bonds. For example, one who loves music, or knowledge relating to it, may experience attraction to those that they can talk about music with.

== Etymology ==
''Encephal-'' means "relating to the brain." Since intellectual bonds over hobbies, interest, knowledge, etc. are related to the brain/mind, encephalaroace worked as an appropriate label.
''Encie'' was coined on October 23, 2020. It has no meaning, aside from being a shortened version of ''encephal-''. It's meant to be easier to say and remember.
