define "a smart person"

What does it mean to be smart to you? Like, when is the person smart?
Is it if they study lots, have good grades...

For me, a person who studies lots, which is normally who is called smart, is more disciplined then smart. What I find smart is someone who is well informed and spoken. Someone who can clearly talk about their opinions.

I guess it's what you'd call street smart?

Anyways, classical book smart is also ok, because it often goes into the same direction, but a lot of it is more like collected knowledge and not that applicable in everyday life. I also kinda resent the implication that smart = knowledgable. While there certainly is a link to some extend, it isn't all to it.

so, someone, you can talk to about anything, ppl that know more than 2 languages as well I'd say

and people that can form their thoughts and ideas into actual plans and can voice them in a manner that is coherent and clear

its hard to narrow this down but i will try
open-mindedness is the biggest thing for me - you can obviously have your beliefs and believe in them, but never changing anything about them, always thinking you (or others with the same ideas as you) are 100% correct without even considering other possibilities/other peoples ideas is very dumb in my eyes. think someone who form opinions based on some things, and then later finds themselves faced with valid criticism, which they end up just brushing aside, unable to consider that their own ideas are flawed (i think conservativism fails in its inability to be open minded, therefore i often struggle to find very conservative people intelligent)

i also very much value being nice to others as an intelligent trait - truly smart people (in my opinion) knows that other people are important, and they do not have a need to "prove" that they are smart by acting like a dickhead to the people around them. they do not undervalue people who are "less" then them because they realise that people are different and people have different values (they understand why people are the way they are, and know how to approach them in a non-hostile way) (this also falls back to the conservative thing, and also ties in to open-mindedness so it is becoming obvious that is the primary trait that i value in people lol)
also just in general, if someone is an edgelord with no compassion for others i do not think they are smart

very much agree with this. this belief ties back to classism in my eyes - "these poor/working class people are less intelligent than us, that is just the way it is, they do not value culture like we do"
while knowledge is very important, i think a lot of people (even well educated people) do not understand WHY knowledge is important - i get the impression that they do not truly think about the information they have learned, they just reiterate it

Yea, there is lots of kinds, but there is like a "definitive" kind

I hate when people use big words to show how "smart" they are. 
There was this one quote, I will find it. It said perfectly what I think on the topic.

Ppl who know a lot, has common sense and can think deeper abt stuff they learn (have their own thoughts rlly), 
I don't consider ppl that know a lot because they study a lot, but can't think outside what they have learned (so bad at thinking own thoughts, extrapolating from the info they already know) smart
