Clever...it has so many meanings.
You can be very good academically and have absolutely no common sense.
You can have both, you can have neither, or you could have loads of common sense and savvy.
As long as you have enough to get you through and keep you happy it doesn't matter that much ( personal opinion)
I have enough to to get me through life so I am happy.

If you have google you are a genius, a lot of very clever people know vast amounts of information that has no use in life today.

I think I have good judgement of character and common sense in certain areas.
This.
I'm not very book-smart but I know I'm more than capable of being so if I put in the effort. I'm probably more "clever" in certain situations and how well I cope with them. Such as decision making, being under pressure, etc.

In some areas, I am and in some I'm not, like most people, everyone has something they are clever at, not just in the academic sense but making people laugh, or being a good cook, or being clever with money, the list is endless.

I'm maybe clever when it comes to stupid things.

Without sounding like Sesame Street, I think pretty much everyone has a similar level of intelligence, its just that people choose to do different stuff with it. Depends how its being tested.

Would you consider letting me sponsor you for a parachute jump just without the parachute I think a lot of members would also like to sponser you.
Of course I'm joking by the way.

Donny from BBUS said it perfectly and it applies to me too.
'I'm probably a lot smarter than other people think I am, but not as smart as I think I am'.

I (obvz tbh) have above average intelligence and I would say I'm fairly knowledgeable in quite a few areas. I wouldn't say I'm "clever", though, I think that describes something else. As someone said above... if I was "clever", I'd be rich, and I'm sure as **** not that :joker:.

...strange? that more than one member equates being clever with....
ability to accumulate wealth...................could it be cleverer to realise that wealth
can be a burden and not at all necesary
withano mentioned how does one judge? personal perception counts greater than any
test score...............................
i can only reflect on the huge expanse that i completely fail to understand

Very wise (is wise the same as clever? Am I stupid for asking that?) I think there are a lot of clever people without money and it takes a certain amount of smarts to be able to budget effectively / get by without having much / hold down more than one job etc, and you certainly get a lot of stupid wealthy people... a lot about becoming successful and rich is chance and good fortune, or having an idea, but intelligence and imagination are different.

There are differing types of intelligence, you can be academically gifted but emotionally retarded.
I have no ambition, never have, I think I've stood in my own way most of my life.

I don't think there's any one defining thing that makes someone clever (as much as we try to test and qualify), I think it's just that ^ learning from life experiences, people who do I'd say are clever and people who don't I'd say are stupid, and it's something that's relative to your own life so different for everyone, not really something that can be tested.

I suppose. I've got a good education, good career... but I have to say some of the smartest people I know have no degree and are in quite menial jobs. Conversely I've worked with people with two, maybe three degrees who are complete boneheads.

......hoping to turn it around.............thick to clever....could i train my mind...doing
mental arithmetic in my head wherever i went...crosswords...visiting all the science types
i know?

Hmm - kind of and kind of not. I can be clever sometimes and I got pretty good GCSEs (A*-B) but other times I can be the stupidest person in the world.
My dad is the cleverest person I know and he's worked in manual labour all his life. He runs his own business now but he didn't set it up himself or anything.

I'm good at general knowledge but lack common sense tbh.
Maths though - not a chance. Just can't fathom it, never have been able to. Even simple equations.

I'm clever, well, I think I am anyway, don't give a toss what anyone else thinks.......ok I lied, I'm a self confessed dizzy, dozy, dumb blonde. One positive about it is I make people laugh or frown, great for the facial muscles :laugh:
