Question of the day:

What makes someone "smart"? In general? What makes one person's intelligence considered superior to another's? Do IQ scores indicate that a high-scorer is smarter than a low-scorer? Is "smart" about education, ability to think quickly or solve problems, a large vocabulary, ability to adapt to social situations, ability to do math? Can you become smarter by becoming more educated? What does smart mean? If it can be measured by IQ tests, who decided what the IQ tests should say? Were they smart? How did they know they were smart if they'd never taken the tests?

I want to know your thoughts on intelligence and the status quo concerning it, not what you think it should mean or what it means to you (unless you can tell me how what it means to you differs from what it means in terms of the general conceptions held by our society.) I want to know what makes one person smarter than another person.

Thanks.
