i like to be a street smart! which i think i am...hehehe
we can learn many things in the street that we can't learn from attending school alone! by being smart this way, we can be stronger and we can't be cheated easily...hehehe that's what i think.

GOod for u!! As i'm thinking of the same way too!! hehe A tleast being street smart, we are learning about survival tactics and skills, as compared to life long learning in school, which we might not even apply throughout of life.. lol =D
What's the point in studying so much, when one dun even know about the basic knowledge to survive in the real harsh world?? hehe

hehe and usually, what we learn from school are not the actual things that we are using in our daily lives...huh!
yes survivor...we can't survive in this world just by having knowledge that we acquire from books...what we need are knowledge from experience...
this is what really happens in life...things are made difficult in schools when there is more easy, better effective ways to do a thing in real life...

RIght!! Very true and experienced huh!!?? Going to school is just like trying to gain some recognition in the society with a certificate to prove that we are qualified to do something.. BUT in terms of experience and all, they dun have it.. Thus, what's the point in studying so much for??
Doesn't all those bosses in the past, started out by being poor, and din study much?? lol =D WHat they used are their quick thinking minds, which even those educated ple, are lacking.. lol =D

Just like what a best responder said, I also prefer to be street smart because I also personally believe that you'll be more successful in life if you're street smart =) it adds up to the experience and as what they say, experience is the best teacher =)

I'm really not sure which kind of smart I am. I think it's best just to have common sense smarts, like socializing smarts. I try to work on that one all of the time. :)

I consider my smelf smart. Im not the kind of person who consistently excell in academics but definitely I know what should be my next move and I can sense other's idea as well it something in me that gaves me a conclusion on such things. I dunno why I cannot predict the future but I can read one's personality, thats why I consider my self smart becasue I know who should or I should'nt be with. Before I was everybody's mentor when I was in High school and I think I develop being sensitive with others and I know how to trigger and tap their emotions. Sometimes other people say that I can handle a group easily because I know how to make them follow me.hahahaha actually smartness doesnt mean that you have to be sharp on everything, I consider smart as a person who is sensitive enough, that doesnt offened anybody everytime he/she speaks, a person who respects others emotions and who know when is the right time to execute a particular command like a computer... hehehehe.....

I think that I am plain smart but with a lot of common sense. I think I have learned some street smart just from living, but over all I do think that I am a smart person. I have a college education, which adds to it and I taught in an area of the city very different from where I lived and grew up, which I think taught me a lot more.

Judging own smartness is rather difficult for for me. But what I feel that in general matters I am smart enough to just get noticed among people. But from business or strategy point of view it depends on situations and I can say that I am not too smart there. I do not like the street smart.

I am intelligent for my age in some areas. I can't really say, but I guess in the area of Logic, and practical application of it. I am also a quick learner. I can usually think through anything, if you get what I mean. I am also academically smart.
Although, like everyone, I have my dumb moments. ;-)

I am a plain smart so humble to look at as i may be judge like a plain jane which is very simple that you could never know that you are thinking something but my thinking is more advanced than you. It mean i may appear shallow but definitely not a bomb. Therefore,One definitely need a lot of common senses before one could concludes he/she is smart. As being smart requires not much of a higher intelligence just a mix of wit and a lot of common sense before one could lost its senses.

lol =D So, u are saying u are smart, but only playing dumb most of the time?? hehe ^_^ If so, that will be good, for most men will like such a woman like u ^_^ haha =D
There are many ways to define intelligence, and u are right, there has got to be some mixture of wit and common sense, as well as being flexible, in order to outwit, and win.. haha =D

well, that how I innocently been judge most of the times as appearance is very deceiving most of the times though I like to be serious their are many times my action as seen by other as funny..
although, i never really have the intention to make appear stupid..
it just goes out naturally..unintentionally..
yup..and some do it well without even a plan it just comes out with a lot of feelings and lot of vibration or let it just call simply a woman instinct..
smart as the thinking goes well as well as the acting...
