I feel there are three types of persons related to wisdom or knowledge.
First type of persons are having very poor knowledge and they do not understand that they dont have knowledge. These types of persons are just worthless ... try to avoid them.
Second type of persons are the persons who has less knowledge, but they understand that they are having less knowledge. These types of persons are innocent ... just educate them.
Third type of persons are the persons who are knowledgeable and they understand that they have knowledge. These types of persons are genius ... Just try to be their friend.
Add your views please.
Thank you.

Not only 3 types of persons but friend many types of persons surroundings us like calm, danger, shy, with less knowledge, more knowledge, fair, black etc. I not like to avoid anyone because after all they are also human like me.

Going to stand outside of the box again. Very interesting discussions by the way.
I know a great deal. But at the same time, I know very little indeed. However, what I know may pertain to me, and my understanding, only. As far as street smarts, got those. Book smarts, somewhat. Testing, genius.
In the grand scheme of things, I know very little. On a general venue, I may know a great deal. The idiosyncrasies, well, that shows up in the genius. sometimes it's inspiring, sometimes frightening.
Which do I cherish most? The aspect that has me look deep within, as well as the aspect that has me research.
Don't by any means accept my truth and knowledge as yours. I would expect no less than you to live your own truth and understanding.

thnx tht you found some interesting. In fact knowledge and intelligence are two different things. A person may be intelligent but not necessarily knowledgeable. Moreover A GK(gen. knowledge) master may succeed as a good orator but wisdom requires continuous effort on a particular subject. I feel its always good to master on your preferred subject rather than gathering all headlines from every topics. Anyway all these r philosophies, which varies from person to person. But its always wise to find the right person with whom you will spent time. ve a nice day!

i like the way you interpret and understand the people around you. there might be a group that you missed here; those who has little knowledge or know little, but they presume to know more than they actually do. and they do not admit that they do not know much. this is the group that is not good to be around. however, we always strive to know more about the things that surround us. thanks for the discussion.

true friend, as you ve rightly told, some people believe every discussion is based upon general knowledge only. So with little knowledge, they want to lead the group. In fact, i think this type of person suffers from inferior complexity and always tries to prove that he is somehow superior ... again better to avoid such element. Thnx.

People who don't know that they don't have knowledge are worthless, but those who are aware of their lack of knowledge are innocent? What guilt comes with being unaware of one's lack of knowledge? So where do you fit in this little caste system?

i think you are concerned to the guilt made by a person who later realizes that her didnt know a certain fact! In such cases, the type is no.1 only ... again I have just written my views, if there can be any addition or even better term for these three types, you should mention too. Ve a nice day.

Welcome to mylot Binay
I consider myself as a student who is knowledge hungry, eager to gain and share knowledge always; the day i will think i know every thing, that will be the last day, because after that i can never learn any thing.
Tell me where i fit in the types of peoples, you categorized?
Glad to see another member from Orissa.

Sir, I am not qualified enough to answer your q, sometimes, i write just to append some more comments and i guess no one is perfect in all matter. Even I dont want to try even to be perfect in all areas of life. In the same time, i think if i m good in one profession or subject, its good for me. For the rest things, i should be a good listener at least. Thank you sir.

I think I'm person type nr. 2, but it's not like I have really little knowledge, but there ARE people who are much smarter than me. I'm not sure if I could educate another nr. 2, actually :D. Actually, I'd rather befriend another nr. 2. than a nr. 3, because those people are lots of the times are stuck-ups and conceited, and I hate when people act they are superior. But if nr. 3. is modest, I'd love to be a friend.

Hi friend, thnx for your response. In fact i feel, you can too educate others, if they are in receiving mode at least. And moreover, if we feel that we are in no.2 category, we shall always keep our mind open for the rest of the world. Its the same way you are thinking too. Ve a nice day!

I think there is a fourth type of people.
This kind of person are with knowledge and experience, while they do not realize what they have and can not use their knowledge in a correct way. The best way for them is showing them the way to use their knowledge. I think this kind of people are great fortune. You should making friends with them before they realize that.

right jalucia, i think no one is perfect in all subject, so we should sometimes try to learn from others. But there are some fools around us, who starts their arguments without any logic or even contents. Its wise to avoid them. Thank you.

There are a lot of different people around us. It's depends on the level how you categorize them.
