What do you define as "smart"

[The Riddler_]

If you weren't looking at intelligence as 'information', or the way you word it, then how were you looking at it? When you narrow it all down, 'smart' AND 'intelligence' all depend on the information that you have.

Not exactly, it could be how you evaluate and solve problems that happen. But I may just be thinking of another word. Nevertheless, I don't like explaining myself a lot when I've said it in the past.

Well any smart person wouldn't waste their time at a place like this

So you're stating that any smart person, wouldn't waste their time on an educational forum like 'Something for All', Learning how to debate, More knowledge, And basically an unlimited amount of material?

Odd, I thought /Smart/ People always, were willing to learn more.

Exactly. Rewording it doesn't take the meaning away. How to evaluate and solve in this sense is actually how you know how to evaluate and solve. No matter how you put it, it's information.

I would say there are three types of smart. Book smart as in knowledge one would gain from being taught or reading. Socially smart as one's ability to deal with people. Experience as the knowledge one gets from doing things.

What would say if someone is smart though. It would be one who is better then average to be smart.

I feel intelligence and ignorance aren't parallel at all. I don't think being well educated or knowledgeful makes someone intelligent, either.

I feel intelligence is innate, and is something you're born with.

Since knowledge is generally easy to acquire, on any subject, "smart" in my opinion is a love for learning and overall open mindedness.
