I’ve always been intrigued by the issue of intelligence. As a child, my mother refer to me as “intelligent”, but I quickly realized that all parents relate to their children as intelligent. Eventually, I discovered that all children are not smart, as all babies are cute. If this were the case, would have a world full of beautiful people, smart – do not have.

Some of us are smart, but not as smart as we think, and some are smarter than they look, which makes me wonder, how do you define smart? What makes a person smarter than another? When “wit” matters more than “book smart” can be both smart and stupid? Does being smart is a more direct influence of genetics or environment?

Then there are the issues of education, intelligence and wisdom.

What it means to be highly educated? What is the difference between being highly educated and very intelligent? Being highly educated will automatically smart? It can be very intelligent, but not very polite? P. It means nothing? What makes a person wise? Why is generally associated with the wisdom of old age?

My desire to seek answers to these questions inspired many hours of intense research that includes reading six books, hundreds of research papers, and countless hours on the Internet, which is nothing compared to the long life of study and research the pioneers in the field of intelligence and education as Howard Gardner, Richard Sternberg, Linda S. Gottfredson, Thomas Sowell, Alfie Kohn, and Diane F. Halpern, whose work is cited in this article.

My goal was simple: collect, synthesize and present data about what it means to be intelligent, educated and intelligent so it can be understood and used by anyone for their benefit.
