I just red an interesting book about knowledge. the author was saying that there is nowhere on earth a stupid person. and i agree. but i just can't find the meaning of "intelligent". is there any?

According to Socrates, the smartest people are those who can acknowledge that in truth they know nothing.

There are several different types of smart people in my mind.
book smart: they have read a lot and know their history and probably do very well in school
street smart: they have common sense
fake smart: they appear smart but the deeper the conversation becomes the more stupid you realize they are
old smart: they have lots of wisdom
smart aleck: they have a reply to everything, it usually is insulting and witty

I always believed that an intelligent person is one who realizes that others often have more knowledge.

A smart person is a person who never show off that he is smart, instead he shows ignorance and naivety out from him but still gain his confidence at the same time.

That's really weird, I haven't actually considered how I define "smart."
I guess I consider a smart person someone who listens before speaking, explores before making a judgment, and observes before rationalizing.

A person is smart if he has the ability to adapt.

A smart person is somebody who doesn't listen to others.
