What is smartness, anyway? There are so many different ways of understanding what smartness is. One meaning is simply how well you adapt to the requirements of life. So if you are tested and find out you have a genius I.Q. but can't make a living, hold a relationship together, or reach goals you set for yourself, then maybe it could be said that you aren't very smart after all. There is a book called "Emotional Intelligence" that discusses research showing that success in life is more related to emotional development and the ability to relate to people than it is to pure brain power. In another example, a guy might seem ignorant and have a low vocabulary but be the most brilliant auto mechanic around. It is important to be open and not judgmental. There are all different forms of smartness. Animals are described by scientists as being lower in intelligence than we humans, but they have amazing powers of perception in areas where we are blind and they can survive in environments that would kill us. A lot of times, we get these ideas about our smartness from our family and friends, but it may not mean that much. Ask yourself where you are smart. Most of us have some special talent of one kind or another. There is no one simple answer.
