Types of Smart
Ep. 109
Talking to me about her son, a parent recently told me this:
"He’s smart in terms of subject knowledge, but I think he could improve in working smarter and being smart about his study."
I see this situation a lot and thought it might be interesting - and hopefully helpful - to talk a bit about the word 'smart'. Being smart, feeling smart.
Because - what does ‘smart’ really mean?
Does it mean clever in a knowledge type way - knowing lots of facts? Like, ‘wow’ they’re so smart. As in so knowledgeable about a subject or topic.
Or does it mean smart in terms of being very practical?
Or smart with people and dealing with situations?
Or able to problem solve or be strategic - being able to see the most efficient or effective way to do something?
Or maybe there’s a better word for all of this than 'smart'?
