For some reason . . . I would be willing to bet that you believe that you have some/all of the qualities you have listed.

Do you feel that people don't "see" how smart you are?

you are wrong - I don't believe that I have some or all of the qualities you have listed.
you are confusing me with the average ego-maniac GFYer.

Oh, I am sorry. I am the one with all of those qualities!

Nobody realizes how smart I am except me. Now if I could just demonstrate my superiority somehow, maybe by using this message board?

someone who obviously use his/her brain to think, making sure it is utilized

Post Count = IQ squared.

**alec** · 03-20-2006, 12:19 AM

I think it's if he/she easily copes with any given situation..

**biftek** · 03-20-2006, 03:29 AM

well i would call my uncle smart , he is a bit of a drop kick , a vegie , not all there and has killed alot of his brain cells from drinking to much
but apart from all tht he has managed to get himself out of every fuckup he has gotten himself into and usally comes out on top

jeopardy and the like i wouldn't call them smart , just book worms with good memory , i don't consider the grades on a piece of paper as being smart once again that just shows that the person has good memory

I think you mean "capability" to learn.

Anyway, I don't think of it as "who is smart"... I think of it as "who isn't smart."

Anyone who isn't smart, is smart in some way. And we've all met people (especially on this board) who aren't very smart.

When they don't show contempt prior to investigation.

**EdgeXXX** · 03-20-2006, 08:26 AM

When they cease to be stupid... which rarely happens

**Phoenix** · 03-20-2006, 08:26 AM

you're right, i ment "capability"

There's all kinds of 'smarts', just as there's various degrees of smarts.

Street smarts, business smarts, intellectual smarts, social smarts.

I'd say it all comes down to your own personal criteria of what you consider to be smart.

that's just trying but it's a start

IQ = logical ability = you can emulate any other qualitites of "smartness", at least short term. Thus, IQ tests come as close as you can get. If you scored low, sorry you're a moron/gallery-builder/GUBA-promoter

Correct. Someone could have one of the above in 'smarts' but I think your original question is trying to get at someone's 'intelligence'.

As for that answer, they IMHO would need a good combination of the 'smarts' mentioned above, and I would think they would have a track record of making good decisions, or have sound judgement, at the right time(s) based on the 'smarts'.

Intelligence involves a lot more than a hustle.
