12735424, My years working with special needs/education students Posted by rawsouthpaw, Wed Feb-25-15 12:06 AM has me disagreeing unfortunately.
12735624, Nah Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Wed Feb-25-15 10:56 AM logically speaking, if everyone is smart, then everyone is dumb. If the label applies to everyone, the label is meaningless. I agree choices don't really show everything. Smart people make dumb choices all the time, and vice versa. ********** "Everyone has a plan until you punch them in the face.

12735628, i disagree also... Posted by StephBMore, Wed Feb-25-15 11:00 AM everyone is not capable of the same level and same type of intelligence or smarts. this is the same with animals. most people are average and are capable of "becoming" smart or intelligent through hard work and persistence. keyword is still "most" and "capable". not everyone is capable and not everyone IS smart. most people just know how to make smart decisions. but the average person is of average intelligence. then there are some below average who will can't (for whatever reason) become anything more than how they were born and some who are naturally intelligent and will always excel. but most ppl are just average as far as being smart.
12735642, nah Posted by legsdiamond, Wed Feb-25-15 11:19 AM

12735631, I have no confidence that I am personally. Posted by TheAlbionist, Wed Feb-25-15 11:03 AM I always did well at school and in work-related tests (I'm a techy so sit tests relatively frequently to keep myself relevant) ; I've got a relatively high IQ according to standardised tests, but I didn't go to University because I was too busy getting money and so I tend to consider myself "beneath" anyone that did. I tend to look to people I consider smart/knowledgeable for answers I'm not capable of finding. My best friends are scientists, historians, technologists and writers... no human can be expert in every field, but I've found if you surround yourself with a broad selection of expertise you're never far from learning something. The experience of learning is better than the experience of knowing.
