Funny how big a difference there can be between stupid and un-intelligent. And un-informed vs. mis-informed. Some of those who feign intelligence the best are the most witty (yet least intelligent). And some of those who are super intelligent come off sounding like idiots when presented with something slightly outside their particular field of expertise. Strange how some mathematicians can't spell the names of the numbers they work with while some wordsmiths can't cipher the numbers they spell.
Define smart.
I was a highly decorated radio technician in the Army (in the early 80's) and still have yet to install a sound system in a personal vehicle without screwing up the dash lights. I am a long-haul truck driver with 2,000,000 accident free miles behind me and I can't count the times I've gotten out of the truck and smacked my head on the outside mirror. I'm a published author and can recite, verbatim, nearly everything I've ever written but can't seem to remember which pieces have been published. I'm an outdoorsman who can start a fire with flint and steel or bowdrill, but can't get anything happening in my hibachi with kerosene and hand grenades.
I'd like to think I'm pretty smart - After all, I've used my wits to get myself out of some really sticky situations on many occasions -- But if I were really that smart, would I have gotten into those situations in the first place?
Am I smart? Beats the hell outta' me!

What a strange - and strangely inspired? - thread, D! I've often wondered how much people here (and in general) valued intelligence in themselves and others, and how confident they are in appraising it.
There is no single, objective definition of intelligence - confident claims of the IQ gurus to the contrary notwithstanding. I see intelligence as consisting fundamentally of *awareness* - both in the Socratean sense ("know thyself") and in the sense of being actively/intellectually engaged with the word around you. I'm genearlly more impressed with an all-around, eclectic type of intelligence than a specialized one. For me, a chief indicator of intelligence is one's sense of humor. The sharper and more clever it is, the brighter the individual, imo (all things being equal).
