What is the difference between individual and person?

What is the difference between a smart person, and an intelligent one?

  • To answer my own question, I believe that a smart person has a good memory. And an intelligent person gives the smart person something to remember. The smart persons argue based on what he or she learned/remembers, the intelligent person doesn't argue at all. The smart person thinks they know everything about everything, the intelligent person knows that they know very little for certain. A smart person is only as smart as their teachers, an intelligent person can appreciate but will question their teacher. This is just my opinion, so please understand, I am not very smart. What is your opinion?

  • Answer:

    The intelligent person don't answer, for the best answer, he provides wisdom. the smart person will go for the points.

Being smart is having common sense and a little bit more than that. Intelligence is being able to apply your smartness. An intelligent person can apply and a smart person begins.

It's a well known fact that intelligence and common sense are often two totally different things and having one doesn't automatically mean you have the other.

A intelligent person knows nothing and a smart person believes they are knowledgable.

A smart person is an intelligent person with commonsense and time sense !

This is such an interesting question as I have thought about it alot. I am "intelligent". With an IQ of 173. Thats up there with Einstien. BUT! I totally messed around in school. So although I can whiz through IQ tests and work out 'complex' issues. I never actually learnt maths. (I'd love to see my IQ results if I didn't have to squeeze my brain dry on those questions.) About being smart. At 30, I think I have only become smart in the last few years. I look at smart as being able identify what is a good choice dependant on my surroundings and point in life. I have a friend who is very intelligent, but he has the 'mad professor' syndrome. Where although he is super-intelligent. You can explain to him how birds fly upside down over power stations and he will believe you. Because he is not too smart. Thats my view. I see it as 2 totally different aspects of the thought process. **********Edit************ "Smart measures knowledge and intelligence measures the ability to understand abstract ideas quickly." I agree 100% I prefer intelligence. You can learn to be smart in time. But you can't become more intelligent
