Intelligence is native to the individual.  Generally we consider intelligence as something that remains constant and knowledge as that which we increase.

people see intelligence in different ways, its like street smarts and book smarts. And there's a difference between wisdom and being smart. It depends on how YOU judge whos intelligent, if you judge by their high office job, i feel like some people up there did have to get some heads rolling. Its like I think I'm a lot more wise then smart, I mean I dont know how to word things and crunch numbers, but i still think I'm pretty witty. So anyawys answer to your question, not all the time, no

Smart but ugly because beauty fades but by being intelligent that has been stored with you forever.  But beauty it dies when you get older.\n\nI like to be smart, intelligent and successful anyway there are many products, scientific surgery that can made you beautiful and sexy.\n\nThere are no experiment that can made you witty and smart. If you are dumb you are dumb forever.

Me?\n\nI don't think you can quantify such a thing. I am a scientist and work with many of the world's top minds in their specialized field. Could they manage to go grocery shopping on their own? No way, yet they can clone a cat. Go figure.\n\nA great author or poet is smart in one way, while a brilliant mathematician is smart in another.  \n\nI guess you want an all around Jack of All trades smart guy. Well Ken Jennings from Jeopardy has a lot of trivia knowledge and knows amny subjects, but no one would call him the smartest person on the planet.  Einstein was a great physicist yet he was a lousy artist.\n\nI think  you can be the best at somthing, but not the best at everything.

Humor - a guy has to make me laugh, and be able to laugh at himself, or at least not take himself too seriously.  My boyfriend is really funny, and everywhere we go, he can make people laugh...even angry grocery store clerks.  Intelligence is equally important - including overall knowledge of what's going on in the world, politics, and also problem solving skills, objectivity.  Caring about other people is also a big one - compassion and eagerness to help others by volunteering or just helping someone with directions.  And with all of this, he's got to be "manly" - as stereotypical as that sounds, I like a guy that isn't too emotional, is physically strong, knows how to fix stuff around the house, and helps me do things that are easier for him - like carry heavy luggage, etc... \n\nI just realized that I've described my boyfriend perfectly...so I'm suddenly very happy to realize what I have!  Thanks for asking!

IQ is a controversial thing. I personally don't believe you can measure a persons intelligence by looking at the scores of a test they did one day. Many factors could come into play such as the person being ill or not focused on the test. You can make yourself smarter just by exercising your brain like you would exercise any other part of you. Read or watch documentaries Test your maths skills and problem solving, look up random words in a dictionary to increase your vocabulary, look at encyclopedias and learn about history and other facts about the world. It's not as boring as it sounds. Especially once you get older and you can use your knowledge in conversations and your mathematics will be helpful in any form of occupation.

Smart depends on the context.  It can be a small word.  A "smart" reply or wise-crack.\n\nMaybe a stranger asks you if you want to have unprotected sex.  The response "no" would be smart.  And, in retrospect, this should make you feel smart.\n\nLong words don't always make you sound smart.  Say someone asks you, "what time is it?".  You may respond with "antidisestablishmentarianism".  Whoever asked you for the time probably wouldn't think you're smart - they just want the time.\n\nMaybe you're response is "smart-sounding" by itself, but totally incorrect in context.  At the end of the day, this will probably not be regarded as smart.\n\nPerhaps these phrases will make you feel smart:\n\n"I'm the smartest person in the world."\n"My brain is overflowing with useful information."\n\nEven if it's wrong, it may help you feel smart.\n\nNone of these are definitions.  Sorry about that.

To say someone is intelligent, sounds to be as if there is more "awe" in your description, "He/She is really intelligent." (almost as if you see yourself as less so)\n\nTo hear someone called clever, that has an amused quality to it, "That clever one fooled me once shame on them, but if they fool me twice shame on me". Not to imply a negativity, but just that cleverness seems a bit like a trick learned. Cleverness seeming to get people out of awkward situations and what not.\n\nWhere intelligence won't necessary boil down to savvy-ness. A person can be quite intelligent, and still find themselves in a pickle. Which they will resolve with careful examination and reason.\nA clever person will find themselves in a pickle, and see one of the few options out, be daring and go for it, and find themselves on the other side of the problem, having made it by the skin of their teeth.\n\nI like being considered intelligent, but I love to hear when I've been clever. Makes me think I'll live longer.

I have to agree that Dr. Stephen Hawkins is probably the smartest person in the world, at least of people who base themselves around one subject.\n\nAs far as that reporter goes, she may have the highest IQ ever recorded, but the IQ level isn't the only way to judge someone's smarts.  All it means is that she can (probably) learn things quicker than most other people on the planet.\n\nSo, in conclusion, I am da smartest-ist person in da hole wyde worldses.

Smart in what way?  Smart to get college money? Yes.  Smart to get an education?  Yes.  Smart to get job experience?  Yes.  Smart to see the world?  Yes.  Smart to get leadership training and experience?  Yes.\n\nI see a trend of "Yes" answers.

Open-mindedness.\n\nOnly an idiot thinks they know everything.  A truly intelligent person recognizes that they have a lot to learn!

Self confidence, manners, and class are up there for me. Looks help out identify someone but in the end its who they are as a person. Being open minded but logical and moral are a must.

yeah you are right....besides if stupid people stop to exist how will you recognise a smart person....infact i think stupid people are doing a huge favour by giving smart people their identity....
