How can you can tell if a person is smart?

Answer 1

They won't be here.

Answer 2

They accept people for who they are. A smart person doesn't have to make people see that they are smart, a smart person adjusts his vocabulary to those he/she is around so that all can join in on the conversation. An intelligent person Doesn't shame people for having a different set of beliefs or values. A smart person understands he/she isn't always right.

Answer 3

Unfortunately, most people think others are smart if they agree with them. Not a good check. I like it when a person gives me information or does things for me that I cannot do for myself or did not know myself.

That being said, may I quote a few experts in the field:

"I used to think my brain was the most important organ in my body until I realized what was telling me this." Emo Philips

"A man who is proud of his intelligence is like a prisoner bragging about the size of his cage." Linda Weaver

"Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, 'In this world, Elwood, you must be' - she always called me Elwood - 'In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me." Jimmy Stewart in the movie Harvey

BTW, I teach nuclear physics, radiation chemistry, and tech writing. I still think I am stupid about a lot of things.

Answer 4

By the words and behavior of the person. This is what an I.Q. test uses.
