what defines a person as a smart one?
 

what do you consider defines a smart person ?
when do you conclude a certain man is a smart one ?

creativity ? the ability to produce ideas to make the best of any situation? the ability to never hurt himself and/or others by miss-thinking his actions?

A person with lots of knowledge or knowhow.

Fatfoo should be showing up anytime now.

I believe a man with a great amount of knowledge and "knowhow" (which is also a type of knowledge) might appear as smart because of the illusion that he accumulated that knowledge at he same time others did not, and as so is perceived as one with a greater ability to learn - but that is not enough to consider someone smart.

Well they say left handed people are smart......(they actually have one more brain cell than normal that makes them write with thier left hand ) downside is they on average die 10 years younger than the average right handed person ...(strange but true..well thats what I read) :)

George Bush SNR ,Bill Clinton ..and even the current president is left handed so maybe there is something in it !

It is also important to make a distinction between wisdom and intelligence. For example, it is very smart to build an atom bomb but it is not very wise.

smart phone... :) :)

Someone who is willing to learn from their mistakes.

well I think you're smart just by seeing your avatar..
it takes a good eye to see through that.. and have it represent you..
there are different "smarts" as well.. from "street smart" to "Yale smart" or any other variation..
I think smart basics=learning+experience+intuition and if you can add more to this it make everything a lot easier..

Still no fatfoo? This should do it!

Not only having good ideas but also implementing them. Bringing them to life.

It's not necessarily having your own ideas as I would also say someone is smart if they can see someone else has had a good idea and robs it.

It has a lot to do with their ability to be smart.

No sign of fatfoo yet

smart=intelligent

being "sharp", not just knowing ton of useless facts...

let's try this:
think about someone you consider smart, e.g: not stupid.
what makes you think of him/her as smart?

So, after 3 mentions of my name I arrive.

What defines a person as a smart person? I went to College and I took an IQ test. This was some kind of IQ test that measures brains based on different areas. Abstract thinking, mechanical thinking, math, English/language, etc. Maybe this thing helps to decide who is smart or not. An IQ test could be timed, so they can see how many problems you can solve in a given time period. This is what the education system, universities and colleges do.

So, yes, you can learn some knowledge. But, there is also the time factor in how fast you can learn something new or how fast you can solve a problem.

The IQ tests can't measure every kind of human skill, because they are not designed to measure that.

Through my life on this planet, I coming to conclusions that are impossible. The impossibility is that some people are so smart that they have psyhic abilities and they are able to read minds and control minds. An IQ test makes no measure of this psychic skill.

gfy post count? ;)

Imagine two or more opposing nations that build up weapons of mass destruction in a Cold War. If a nuclear war started, it could destroy the whole earth. This would not be wise.

In recent news, Russia and USA agreed to reduce nuclear weapons by 30%. More talks are happening right now and Barack Obama said he is working towards elimination of nuclear weapons.

Reading GFY can keep you up to date on what happens on GFY.

I recommend reading newspapers of your choice.

Adaptability to certain situations...

Intellect and knowledge base is different then beeing smart.

combination of street smarts and formal education

for me i considered the person smart if he accept his mistakes and learn from it.

I have a high IQ but I have done alot of stupid shit. lol

Dick size or tightness of pussy.

Is there a universal standard? I would think differing cultures/subcultures' definitions would vary. Also, it might vary based on historical periods as well.

A person who thinks before he speaks and is willing to admit faults and mistakes, and learn from them.

IQ tests have been proven to be about as useless as your posts.

I think stupid people are happier.

Ignorance is bliss.

Thats more like submissiveness.

You may not be wrong just dont care enough to argue a point.

yea that's it

if he or she is a member of mensa

There's a difference between smart, and intelligent.

Old buddy of mine here who is never on anymore sold his network after building it himself over a couple of years - bought a house, and retired. That's smart.

Intelligent are those assholes who think being smug working for google is the world's best thing.

I'd rather be smart than intelligent anyday.

I know a real mensa member. She's a certified genius. She has two doctorates and is currently unemployed. She has never paid her bills even when her parents were helping her through college when she was working on her bachelors degree.

She can't drive right now because of a suspended license. She lost her license because of failure to maintain liability insurance.

When she was in her 20s I had to threaten to kill one of her boyfriends who beat the shit out of her on two occasions and she kept going back to him because he said he'd never hurt her again.

Mensa means jack.

I agree with you.
