How do you even define smart?
Is it quantified by the IQ tests?
Does smartness include the factor of social skills(EQ) and how someone may present himself or herself in a social situations. How do you decide what's smart and what's not smart?
- lostmsu 8y agoWhy do social skills have any preferred treatment over any other skills? I'd say smart is best measured by IQ.
- Kevin_S 8y agoThey should both be important is his point. And measurements for IQ (and EQ frankly) aren't very reliable. His point seems to be that "smart" is not really measurable as we don't include EQ and our measurements of IQ are poor as well.
- shbm 8y agoWhat do you exactly measure by comparing IQs? A person who does not do well on math test can become much more "successful" than a person who does. How does IQ really correlate with success?
- lostmsu 8y agoIt correlates a lot, actually. It even may be one of the best predictors (if not the best, I dunno honestly).
