Are people smart or stupid?

Do you think the people around you are book smarts, street smarts, or emotionally smarts?

How many stupid friends do you have on all three accounts?

I think most people are some sort of a combination, but I have only met one person who was really stupid on all accounts Tongue out (she was supposed to be my BFF, but I severed all contact...)

Love is the battery of life....

Hi,


I like your question (specially the 3 types of "smart").  It reminds me a GR8 theory by Prof. Howard Gardner "The Theory of 8 Intelligences" that says that each person is a combination of 8 intelligences he defind.  That's a wonderful theory (and I use it, with great success, as a manager / leader). 
Normally one can't choose the people around him so some are smart (in any combination of your definitions), some are less, and some are entirely not..... but friends one can choose.  To be a friend of mine one has to cope with several minimum requirements...  that's the reason all my friends are smart (Plus many other NOT less important values, such as: interesting, with humour, friendship, intelligent, good taste, faithfull, ready to help,....etc).
Best regards,

You should never judge a person by their intelect or intelagence just by the way they act even at first,  also by the way they look or dress etc.

If you do that you are not as good as you think nor are you smart your self eaither each of us on this planet has a very sepacial unqueness with in us , about us something that is unseen , not because they do not show it or feel they have to its something that is inbedded in each , everyone of us. in what is a good part of us that defines us of who we are.

We are not put on this planet to show how smart we are nor prove it to anyone at all the same goes for apperance so if we do believe we look good in something with hair style  as well.

And if no one else thinks so then thats not your fault or problem it is theirs.

And when it comes to inteligance is so different from that above here , it may come to each one slower then others but it does come to us note we are not expected to be smart or intellagent about anything if we were the God or Heavenly Father would make it so that we are but that would just go to limit our learning things like if we makemistakes we learn from those mistakes , at least try not to make the same mistakes again, yes I know their are time that we all do even without noticing it.

So you see its all about what we learn , how , whenin what is one main reason why we are on this planet to learn many things , even if it may take longer then it will that is okay if it does cuz we all learn things at our own pace-Some may be faster then others but what is imporaint is how we view our selves , feel about ourselves , that we have faith in ourselves , believe in ourselves, honest with ourselves truthfull to , with our selves as well with other people.

I those things may those may be hard its really not , if we ever need help, guidenss it is not a bad thing nor should we feel ashamed to pray to Our Heavenly Father to help us but note he will answer your prayer on his time but no matter what please have faith , confedance, belief in your self as the day or week , or time or all three plus year rolls on you will see though you may not notice at first that , when, if your prayer is or was answered but always know it will be no matter how long it may be it will be.

Note also that If yoyou judge one person on or about something you your self will be judged by Heavenly father no matter what , even if you thuink you will not trust me you will be.

And Judging a person due to intelagence or looks or what ever else you will be juged , Judging anyone is a sin.
