Kinder. I have 4 boys and while they are plenty smart, it was manners, politeness, kindness and respect that I wanted them to have the most of. Especially since that's not what is taught in our public school systems (over all) now a days.

DUMB IS NOT A FAIR QUESTION.  DUMB MEANS YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO WRITE, SPEAK, LACKING AN  ABILITY THAT WAS NEVER TAUGHT. HOWEVER IGNORANT MEANS YOU DO NOT HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF SOMETHING, IE: A CERTAIN SUBJECT ETC. PLEASE GAIN SOME KNOWLEDGE AND LEARN TO NOT BE SO IGNORANT.

intelligence means you can solve a complicated problem.\n\nwisdom means you know which problem to solve.

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.

Intelligence.  Hands down.  If they cannot carry on an intelligent conversation, then I know for a fact that I could never have a relationship with them that wasn't superficial and shallow.  If they have read a book in the last month and have an opinion about it, they are head and shoulders above almost anyone else in the running.

From the way the question is worded, I would have to say that person A seems to be the better person since he has learned will power.  This isn't something easily done.  It at least shows that he's intelligent.  Person B sounds like Forrest Gump.\n\nIf you're asking which person has the higher moral value...well, you'll never know which of the two is better in that context until person B has an evil thought.  It is then, and only then, will you know if person B has the will power not to act on his evil thought.  However, if your hypothetical person B can never get an evil thought, then person B is the better one since he's all good.

Uneven. \n\nThomas Edison said  genius was 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Most teachers will tell you the same thing, or quote him.\n\nSmart students tend to get better grades than dull ones, but lots of smart students get bored or lazy and flunk. Dull students with good work ethics can succeed. The kids in the middle can go either way.\n\nA good work ethic and the ability to focus on a subject for long periods of time are much better indicators of scholarly success than a high IQ.\n\nExactly how long you have to focus depends on the problem; a word problem in algebra may take 10 minutes, a Ph. D. thesis 10 months.

I wouldn't say one is 'better' than the other.  \n\nOne advantage to being in a school rather than being home schooled is that you have more social contact with people your own age.  You learn skills that some kids don't learn when being home schooled.  You get a broader range of people who have different opinions...you have a better chance to form opinions that might differ from your parents.\n\nOne advantage of home schooling is that parents probably have a greater 'investment' in the success of the student than most public school teachers do.

Simple answer:\n\nA smart person is someone with head knowledge about topics, events, facts, and figures. But they could be dumb as a skunk when it comes to using that knowledge in the most simplest obvious ways. \n\nA wise person, simply put, is someone who has learned from experience and has had many mistakes and learned from them. \n\nIn a very real sense a wise person could be smarter than a smart person.\n\nThink of it like this. A smart person would be book smart. Whereas a wise person has common sense. \n\nhope this helps.
