<p>But isn’t it a stereotype that smart people (or nerds, anyway) don’t dress well?</p>
<p>Fluid and Crystal intellect, as well as the ability to hold a conversation.</p>
<p>Great answers, guys! I forgot to add that, like many of you do, I think that having the capacity to learn is also a vital part. When I said “ability to hold a conversation,” I didn’t necessarily mean that person’s social capabilities. I meant more in the sense of articulation and just having enough knowledge to talk about a variety of things. Obviously you don’t have to be a Renaissance person, but having even a slight amount of knowledge in several areas and being willing to learn more is a good quality to have.</p>
<p>Also, Nnormal, surprisingly, I am in the minority when it comes to my feelings towards her. Most people like her because she acts bubbly and whatnot. The people at my school have a strange affinity for airheads.</p>
<p>Ah well.</p>
<p>I found that rather funny.</p>
<p>Personally, I subtract 1,000 points from my imaginary intelligence system (that doesn’t really exist, shhh) when someone uses hashtags (OCTOTHORPES) for anything other than sarcastic or ironic effect.</p>
<p>^^haha nononono that’s not real life. seriously? no one else finds her to be a bit of a joke? don’t worry man most people i know would laugh at that</p>
<p>“#smartpeopleprobz”…kills me</p>
<p>
wait what did i say?</p>
<p>My definition of being smart is different. If you literally know everything there is to know about the smallest atoms to the biggest galaxies, I still would not consider you smart. If you know a lot about a topic and use that knowledge to benefit mankind and improve our living conditions or our understanding of a topic, then I would call you smart. I have trouble calling any of my high school class mates smart as 99.9% of them spend more hours than me studying to get the higher grade. They spent more time studying for the SAT and ACT. Some kids that are ranked higher than me have no business being in the top 10% due to there maturity. There are some people that are “smart” at a young age but not to the full extent.</p>
<p>I acknowledge that there are high school students that are smart (my definition) and, unfortunately, do not get the recognition as some of the kids with high SATs and GPA.</p>
<p>What’s the point of a book for no one to read it or spread its context?</p>
<p>
This is my new favorite word.</p>
<p>Lol, Im not trying to get aggressive or anything. I reread my post, and it sounded as if I was angry at everyone who was a higher rank than I was. Obviously they worked harder than, and they earned that spot, but the OP’s question has been a question I had in mind since the first day I attended school. As for my question in the end, let me explain. A book that was printed and put on a shelf for years to rot is the same situation as someone has accumulated so much knowledge and did nothing with it. Both are ultimately pointless. Although, it is q</p>
<p>It is quite hard for someone who is knowledgeable to not have an effect on humanity or a topic I guess…</p>

<p>I concur with Halogen.</p>
<p>
Experiments on Plant Hybridization by Gregor Mendel rotted on the shelf for 34 years.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Sorry, I meant to reply to Braintrauma :P</p>
<p>Lol true, but that experiment benefited our understanding of genetics I believe so that plant would be considered smarter than most high school students including myself.</p>
<p>I hope this question wasn’t just intended for high school students.</p>
<p>"Experiments on Plant Hybridization by Gregor Mendel rotted on the shelf for 34 years. "</p>
<p>That’s unbelievable! I’m glad you told us :)</p>
<p>Lol, Im not clear if you (braintrauma) mean baller as in properly dressed or as a gangster;however, how you provide a perspective of yourself is definitely dependent on how you dress and it may cause people to judge your intelligence. Additionally, not everyone has the money to dress as like a “baller” which might impede a smart, poor person’s image.</p>
<p>I’m fairly certain Braintrauma was being sarcastic with the first part of his post.</p>
<p>
- Unlike you, I do not think I am the smartest person anyone will meet.
- Jeans and a T shirt is not eccentric.</p>
<p>I give you 1.5/10 on your ■■■■■■■■ effort, only because you are sort-of right that the average person forms a first impression of someone based on clothing and grooming, even though you worded your sentence so inadequately that I had to spell that out for you.</p>
<p>braintrauma also sounds rather egotistic. His assertion that everyone agrees that he is the smartest person they will ever meet is textbook narcissism.</p>
<p>I agree, failed trolling attempt.</p>
<p>
How about we avoid the casual racist debates, yeah? Good. That never leads anywhere pleasant.</p>
