    At 32, I've finally almost got the hang of tying my own shoes... so I must qualify for this thread.

    Why didn't anyone teach me the loop, swoop and pull method earlier?

    Intelligence is good to have, but it is of second importance to character. Those with great intelligence will either use it for selfless or selfish decisions while those with great hearts will always try and do the right thing. I would rather have a friend on my side with a big heart.

    QFT. Arrogance is the worst quality you can possibly have, and a lot of times intelligent people are arrogant.

    I can't say I am very intelligent though people say that I am. If I was so intelligent, why do I feel like I know less and less each day?

    Does being a smartass count as being intelligent? :bigsmile:

    Better to be a smartass than a dumbass. :wink:

    My wife says the smartest thing I ever did was marry her. I'll take that as a good enough reason to join this discussion.

    The only thing I've to say -
    Intelligence is inversely proportional to chances you have to get laid

    I double majored in Physics and Astronomy in college. I spend 11 years in the main control room at Fermilab (where the Tevatron used to be) running the particle accelerators and am now an Engineering Physicist there. Most of all, however, I somehow convinced my wife to marry me and I didn't have to blackmail her or anything. Plus I listened to her when she said MFP was a good idea.

    Educated - Cultivated - Open-minded differ from Intelligence :)

    I've met people unable to write, or non cultivated - but Intelligent as frick. Or never majored anywhere appart in Streets (didn't have money to study) but Intelligent enough to have sense of discerning that allowed em to express concepts/ Theories that well-known writters- philosophers- psy. talk about.

    Intelligence, from L. "intellegentia" : understanding, power of discerning; art, skill, taste.

    I don't know how to talk about how smart I am without sounding like an *kitten*, but, really I have zero patience for stupid people. I prefer to be surrounded by intelligent people because those who aren't Are just terrible at having conversations.

    Are we talking "Book Smart:" or "Street Smart" just to clarify? Education doesn't make you smart persay... However, it can prove you have a great memory, atleast short-term...once the tests are over you can forget the crap you memorized and look uber brilliant on paper. Atleast that's what I did :tongue: Does smart mouthed..smart aleck..smart assed and Smart looking count? What say someone smart enough to make friends with smart people...then just repeat what they say with an assured head nod and a wink ...to look like you know what you're talking about?

    Just wanna make sure I know what I am getting into here before I say I fit the criteria:wink:

    Much like Jersey Shore guys who bounce their pecs at themselves in the mirror at the gym are arrogant =) Arrogance is a trait that is applied to any type of person, be them intelligent or non.

    I'm smart but I have no common sense...so I'm damned if I do...damned if I don't

    I suffer from this also. Book smart and street smart are completely different things!
