How many people have you met who are far more intelligent than you are?
473655
I never counted. There are some that are only smarter in a book-smart way with no common sense, and some that seem to have more common sense than me. The smartest people I know have both.

Yes!!  I am smarter, I am happier, I have learned something new almost every day! I understand other people better. I have a better understanding of what things matter and what things are just a pain. I also have learned to not sweat the small stuff, including the little people.

Yes.  Many, many people have been faster than you.

umm.... by the depth of your question i would have to say you are, probably not the smartest person i have been exposed to. But pretty average for on here i guess.

Not everyone. In fact, most of the people I know and most of the people I've met here are quite kind.

We are accually NOT smarter then all animals..\nWe were just lucky to find a better means of communication and interpretation of our situation. That has nothing to do with us being smarter...

People who think they are better than others!
775454
Alot of it yes. Intelligent people find ways to work things out but some people just like causing problems for others.

Very clever people can be off-putting, even frightening.  But I think geniuses don't have it so bad; they get to think about, sometimes even discover, things that the rest of us can't even imagine.  I know I envy them at least as much as I pity them.

Only as intelligent as the user.

It is usually the people that are less intelligent that have to let everyone know how smart they are.

Your question is difficult to answer because it is rather general, and I am not quite sure what you need to know.  \n\nIt's a matter of everyday experience that some people are smarter than others. But how do we measure "smartness"?\nGlobal intellligence is made up of many specific abilities.  It consists of verbal abilities and "hands on" types of abilities.  Very few people are good in all the different abiities measured by an intelligence test for example.  Some people are very very good in just one area, sometimes called a splinter skill, but not in any others.  Some people are "book smart" while others are "common sense smart".\n\nThen we need to consider multiple intelligences theory.  The theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner, professor of education at Harvard University. It suggests that the traditional notion of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is far too limited. Instead, Dr. Gardner proposes eight different intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential in children and adults. These intelligences are:\n\n Linguistic intelligence ("word smart"): \n Logical-mathematical intelligence ("number/reasoning smart") \n Spatial intelligence ("picture smart") \n Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart") \n Musical intelligence ("music smart") \n Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart") \n Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart") \n Naturalist intelligence ("nature smart") \n\nI have attached a couple of websites that should help you.

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

Intelligence is God given because nobody else in my family graduated from a university at sixteen like my sister did. And it's not acquired either because she read at nine months. Some people got it and some have to work at it.

This assumes that people were brighter in the past.\n Which they just were not.   Hence, Hitler ; Stalin;Mao;\nKim il Sung.   To name but a few. \n I have found that those who think everyone else is not as smart as themselves, are usualy quite thick and ignorant.\n\n                              Victor
