In their interactions with mere mortals they lack condescension, and their verbiage is wholly devoid of patronising remarks that do not leave everyone else feeling humiliated; and despite knowing everything about everthing they are reluctant to boast about their obvious and pervasive omniscience.

All joking aside, really smart people know how to adjust appropriately to every social situation and cultural nuance; and only publicly articulate their autodidactically acquired knowledge and experience in very rare circumstances

Smartness or intelligence is merely one trait that is manifested by a vast range of different types of people; smart people acquire information very rapidly and accurately; and then crucially they know how to use that info to achieve their objective depending on their values; the entrepreneur will use it to build wealth; the humanitarian will use it to assist others; the psychopath will use it to hurt others, as they were hurt too; and so on.

In summation, really smart people know how to turn circumstances to their advantage, because they have a deep understanding of cause and effect, etc.

In my experience the smartest people understand cause and effect. You can usually tell a smart person by the way they consistently ask insightful questions - they are trying to find the underlying principles of the problem they are facing and then they will use that knowledge to work out the implications of how to deal with it

This is a recognised and well-researched phenomenon called:

The Dunning-Kruger Effect.

The essence of it is that unskilled or unintelligent people tend to have a very high, but inaccurate view of their ability and skill but skilled, educated and intelligent people behave in the opposite fashion.

"Surely a lot of us are smart in different ways.

I’m smart, I have a good education a good job blah blah but can I do anything practical like hell I can.

Is smart just being academic ? We all bring different things to the table. "

Couldn't agree more

There's all manner of smart though - I have worked with a group of people that had PHDs coming out their ears, not an ounce of common sense amongst them. I've also worked with knuckle dragging thug types that had wordly insights that would astound you.

Bad Bitch can't spell for toffee and knows very little in the way of "big words" but her emotional intelligence is the best I've ever come across.

FWIW quite "smart" people can laugh at those laughing at them without the laugher even knowing the joke is actually on them

"They’re left handed."

I won't argue with that. I suspect that, because we live in a predominantly right handed world, left handed people are more likely to develop ambidextrous skills, through necessity, than right handers.

"They’re left handed.

That’s true. Also I’ve never met a thick left handed person.

Intelligence, being smart or having abilities is not something that is fixed and can never be changed.

The work by a researcher called, I think, Carol Dweck, advocates a mindset that can be developed and improved, and thus become more productive over time and much more capable of solving problems, whether personal or societal.

That's the essence of a good team; very different people bring a wide range of skills, abilities and perspectives to the table.

This was illustrated in a 1960 film called League of Gentlemen which is a robbery caper, but could easily be used as a tool to educate students about the need to have a team, as well as a nit-picker who highlights the flaws, gaps and lacunae!

The smart person without boasting or bragging does invest an enormous amount of time in personal development in order to make themselves a happier and more productive person who by obvioysly being more attractive to others can achieve their life objectives, including this avocation.
