I feel like there are too many types of intelligence for words like "smart" to have much meaning. I must be pretty smart is some areas being that people are willing to pay me plenty for what I know how to do, but I've been around people that make me feel dumb, and I know my brain sucks at certain things. Like that toy where you put the shape into the correct shape whole? that is not so easy for me and I make mistakes.
