Unfortunately, I believe the answer goes to Bill Gates.  Not only is he super smart when it comes to computers, etc, he's also a savey business person.

A smart person is someone who knows what they want. They are articulate, witty, and fast on their mental 'feet'. They create goals and focus on them to achieve. They put everything in prespective, the more you leave out the higher the risk. A person who is smart has a general knowledge of mankinds history. It is pertinent to brush up on our past because we can learn many things and even use them to make our own lifes easier.\n\nYou do not have to be great in math or be able to solve a rubix cube in under 5 minutes to be smart. A smart person knows they are smart.\n\nI think the most important factor when considering someones intelligence is their ability to make good decisions. This is prehaps the most valuable skill one can learn. We make decisions in everything we do, and while we practice making decision so much, it is still one of the hardest things to do. To make a right decision you must consider every possible outcome and decide what is the best plan of action before acting on it. Learn to do this well and you will have a distinct advantage over others in life.\n\n'Smartness' is derived from learning, a big factor in being smart is to learn from your mistakes. I'm talking about making a conscious effort to analyze your actions and decide what you did wrong(also what you did right) AND what you could have done differntly. Personally, I do this at night when I'm laying down for bed, I think about my day and analyze it.(this also helps me sleep!)\n\nThe most limiting factor in intelligence is emotions. Which brings up emotional intelligence...but I wont get into that, this post is already too long!

1)Isaac Newton: The greatest genius that ever lived.  His work opened the natural world to study, and answered almost all of the major questions of his day.\n\n2) Aristotle: The most influential thinker until modern times, who established observation and logic and central principles in understanding the universe.\n\nThen, in no particular order:\n\nPlank, Einstein: physics-Plank established quantum physics (after a lot of resistance) and Einstein relativity.  Between the two, they brought us into the modern understanding of the universe-we have not really made discoveries of this significance since.\n\nMendel, Darwin: biology- The understanding of evolution, which is the origin of all the species (Darwin) and of the process of genetics (Mendel).\n\nWegener: geology: Plate tectonic theory-from him we understand a great deal of how the Earth is structured.\n\nFreud: psychology:  Almost none of his theories are believed today, but the very idea that there was a subconcious, that the mind was amenable to analysis, was absolutely revolutionary.  His work probably has more effect on the way the average person thinks about themselves and the world than any other on this list.\n\nLavoisier, Mendeleev: chemistry: Lavoisier overturned all of the thought of the day on chemistry with the establishment of conservation of mass.  Mendeleev constructed the periodic table of the elements, and explained property relationships-all of chemistry is built on this.

Albert Einstein. \n\nHe was very smart, intuitive, and a humanitarian. All of the things we need today.

Bill Gates.\n\nNo question about it. Fully documented.

I'm assuming you mean Einstein, but I would have to go with Newton. He invented calculus and was absolutely revolutionary in developing elementary physics. Now, obviously Einstein was brilliant too, but at least he had a long background of physicists to build on. He stood on the shoulders of giants, one of which is newton.

every body have their own smartness. if you want to compare which one is the smartest, on what basis would you compare them? Actor/actress are smart in performing actions/art\nsinger are smart in voice/sound contrl\nscientist, mathematicians, professors are smart in using their brain to cme out with an idea.\n\nbillionaires are smart in doing business\n\npoliticians are smart in attracting people and influence them\n\nlaw makers are smart in making law that will be fair for people\n\ncomedians are smart in making people laugh...(that's nt easy, you know)\n\ndoctors are smart in curing diseases....\n\neach type can't take the job of other type and vise versa.
