IQ Enlightenment Test

A smart person thinks they are right, because they are clever.

A wise person, knows he makes mistakes, and is not afraid to admit it.

Smart = puzzle solving ability
wise = seeing difference between lie and truth

Smart is when you have a little butter and need to spread it far. Wise is when you've got lots of butter.

not bad.

Being Smart is to posses knowledge, to be wise is to be discerning and understanding?

smart and wise... the difference is discernment. WHile a smart person may know many facts, having wisdom is discernment of knowledge

One is silent
Not knowing the answer...
Another is silent
Knowing when to speak...

...The difference is "and"...

Smart or wise is just a matter of opinion

SMART SOMEONE WHO CAN THINK PROFOUNDLY
WISE SOMEONE WHO HAS ALREADY EXPERIENCED HIS THOUGHTS TO REALITY.

the wise man knows that he knows nothing and can admit it

This thread is exactly as titled. Thoughtfulness will enlighten IQ. I will give my own answer later today.

In the meantime, if some of you good test takers could 5-star and :green: me, to overcome a few of the vociferous unenlightened visitors who 1-star and anything outside their comfort zone, I'd appreciate it!

same fucking shit... next smart/wise question... you moron..

There are better answers available.

Being wise is to be deeply connected with your consciousness.
Being smart is to make good use of your mind.

Mind comes before consciousness. If you are wise, I think you are more connected to the source...

A smart man knows what to say. A wise man knows whether or not to say it.

smart - there are certain things and/or experiences that i have that others didn't get to experience yet - that i know and observe and keep an open mind to things.
wise - not bragging about it - like those "been there, done that" scenarios.

smart - i make mistakes, i acknowledge it - i learn from it
wise - if i don't make the same mistake again.

smart - sympathy
wise - empathy

To be smart is to find a correct answer.
To be wise is to know there is more than one.
You are born smart.
You acquire wisdom.

You question.
You know the whys.
I answer.
Who am I?

Still time to answer....

Being smart is knowing towards the unknown

Being wise is unknowing towards the known

Because in essence what we know is what we don't know and what we don't know, we know

Smart guys know what they know.
Wise guys know they don't know anything.

smart knows the answer and says it
wise knows the answer and when to to say it

Smart is knowing everything.

Wise is knowing nothing at all.

don't worry, op. i got this!

smart starts with an 's' and wise starts with a 'w'!



/thread

smart- (intelligence) is HOW we know and HOW WELL we know,
- knowledge is WHAT we know, and
wise- (wisdom) is WHAT WE DON'T ALWAYS CONSCIOUSLY KNOW THAT WE KNOW and HOW (AND HOW WELL) WE APPLY what we know.

Smart - knows where the bass are hiding.
Wise - knows what lure to use.

Smart is always right
Wise is always wrong
