  • I believe there are two kinds of smart...or maybe more...There is the book smart, and then there is the so called street smart (a.k.a. common sense). I have many friends that are book smart, but lack common sense in certain areas...then I have friends that have common sense, but lack the academic area...There are some people, such as my friend that scored perfect on the SAT's...she just beems with this intellectual aura...or whatever you want to call it...when she walks into a room you can tell she's very intelligent just by the way she moves, with confidence....if that makes any sense...
  • I think smart is being educated and being able to express it well. So, I don't think you can look at someone and tell, but I think you can listen to them for five minutes and really know how well-educated they are (and thus, how smart).
  • Itelligence is the ability to learn from a situation or to apply knowledge to a situation for a desirable outcome. The smarter you are the more you'll learn in life and school, and the more adept you'll be at applying your knowledge to situations in life. No, you cannot tell how smart someone is by looking at them. You can only guess by observing how they act. Thats my opinion. Hope it helped.
  • In my opinion I don’t believe one can determine someone is smart by just looking at them. By listening to them yes; a smart person would be knowledgeable in many areas and know how to apply that knowledge in perspective.
  • Just like the people who have answered before, i do think of smart as two different things; which are street smart and book smart. Either way, the way i look at this questions is quite different from the people who have answered before me. I think that it is possible to tell if someone is smart by looking at them, but it is also easy to be wrong about people who you think are dumb. In my opinion, people who are smart have very, "sharp," and composed eyes. Along with that, there are just times when you can look at a person and say," Oh snap it looks like there's nothing in his head," and say that the person is dumb. Then again, there are people who you look at and think, "Wow, this guy has a lot on his mind," or people who you think are just, average. The people who you find with the blank minds, in my opinion, lack both commmon sense and book smartness, the people with average looks seem to have a good balance. The people with very sharp eyes and a full mind seem like the people who have basically covered book smarts and street smarts very carefully. Then again, I could be making assumptions and could be completely wrong. Oh yea, and one more thing, I think smart people are always up to challenging their theories, and having an open mind to what other people say ;).

  • Answer #2 I think you can look at some one and take a educated guess, because when it comes down to it every one has met a lot of smart and stupid people and this is why you can make a educated guess, if they are smart or not. I don't think these guesses are highly accurate, but they do seem to be true more often than not. Answer #1 Intelligent people are often highly creative and think very abstractly(out side of the box thinkers). Intelligent people are usually witty, fast thinking, clever, and have profound abilities to remember things. A smart person is most likely the person you go to for help in solving a problem or retrieving a answer, or recalling something you forgot. The higher the quantity and quality of these abilities will produce a higher intelligence, not all of these are needed and I left out a ton that matter. Like i said earlier every one is smart even those so called stupid people, because when it comes down to it a stupid person is probably more intelligent than you in at least one way. You may beat them in a dozen ways, but they probably have a upper hand in some category of cognitive ability. nothing is as simple as 2 kinds of intelligence I don't think there is this so called street and academic intelligence I believe that most of the people that every one is referring to academically smart, but lacks common sense are probably just determined, hard works, but are most likely not smart as they do not understand things easily like a true intelligent person. There is a small percent of these people that are intelligent, but these ones may seem like they lack common sense because they over think things and some times jump to stupid ridiculous conclusions. There are also others that seem they learn quick, but lack common sense this is most likely because they don't know any thing unless they have learned it, this is another very low percent of the group. I believe most people are smart just in different aspects because there are so many verities of intelligence. I believe That some people get some of the more affable qualities for school. I Think that IQ test only test these congenial qualities and lacks a real General intelligence even though it is called an IQ test...
