An intelligent minded person is a specialist. Say a doctor may be intellegent but may not know much about banking. So you have to developed expertise in a field.\n\nThere are two ways of doing it:\n1. Put your mind on your heart - i.e. take the subject you like best and be master of that\n2. Put your heart to your mind - i.e. develop interest and liking what ever you are studying.\n\nFirst is easy, doing the second properly is difficult.

Actually, its harder to be dumb and easier to be smart because you are constantly learning.  A person with knowledge is a person w/ power.  And a smart person would have to work really hard to be dumb because it tends to show in their personality and the way they hold themselves.

I think intelligence is when we think logically about something. Like if we are taught that when metal gets hot, it turns red, and we see a stove we stay away, that's intelligence.\n\nWhen it's red, and you don't know any better, but veer away because it doesn't seem right or safe, that's instint. With instint, you don't have to learn. You just know it.

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!

Being on time (i.e. being dependable and reliable).\n\nBeing able to pitch in when there's extra work to be done.\n\nChecking their work to ensure that things are done right.\n\nNot just doing what they're taught but figuring out ways to do the job better.\n\nBeing able to get along with their co-workers.\n\nThere are a lot of qualities to perfection, but the ones listed above are the ones I look for when I want to promote someone.

There are a lot of different types of "smart". Just because someone doesn't portray the stereotypical intelligence, doesn't mean that they can't teach most wise people a thing or two. There are a lot of "smart" people that are not wise though...

Personality is a persons characteristic (who they are as a person), smartness is a persons IQ and/or ability to think. You didn't think much before asking this huh?
