Do you have to be smart to be intelligent?

Question

Do you have to be intelligent to be smart?

Will you give an intelligent or a smart answer?

Answer 1

Smart is an acquired mental attitude taken from his environment such as family, friends, schools and readings, Intelligence is a natural mental aptitude in a person whether he is schooled or not. An intelligent mind is a fast learner who becomes smart. A smart mind is always open to explore or understand anything new or different from his experience.

There must be some degree of intelligence in anyone you will find  as smart. whether on the street or in the school..

Answer 2

A tiny baby can be quite intelligent actually, and demonstrate no smarts whatsoever.

Smart is usually applied to actions or ideas that are creative and  provide cleaver solutions to problems.  And these may be based on experience rather than raw intelligence.  Raw intelligence without experience rarely results in actions that would be seen as "smart".

Peace

Answer 3

I think smart and intelligent are in the same category so you can't really be one and not the other.

Intelligent and wise are different though. You can be intelligent and very unwise or foolish. Smarts and intelligent are words describing the mass of knowledge you have aquired or are able to aquire. Wisedom in putting the knowlege of the absolute truth in use.

The fool says in his heart "There is no God."

I use to be an atheist. I liked to study and read works of great scientists. I though that just because these people had a lot of intellegence that they were correct. I was wrong. What these people also had, which I was ignorant of, was a world view of humanistic naturalism. They could gather all the observations in the world, but because of an incorrect world view, their application of the knowlege was incorrect. Hitler was in intellegent man. His application of his gifted mind was wrong. Even though I think he had some good points, like wanting to fight against the marxist influence, he was not a wise man. He is now, I would suspect but do not know, burning in h**l.

I wise man is one who builds his house apon the rock. The storm will and is comming but that house will stand.

A foolish man builds his house apon the sand. (The world's teachings)

The storm is going to come and the house will fall. What a great fall it is going to be.

The rock is God and His forgiveness through Jesus Christ.

The storm is the comming Wrath of God.

Repent and follow Jesus.

It certainly helps to have a little intelligence - but most millionaires aren't that smart. A lot never even went to college. Motivation is the main factor.

'Intelligence' kind of refers to book smarts and such, while the term 'smart' refers to street smarts.  At least that's how I look at it. XD
