^I know this girl that has a PR company for club nights (and pretty big ones at that). Thick as two planks and a complete spoilt brat, but she's great at the whole networking thing.

Though maybe I shouldn't use her as an example. Her success has been short lived. She recently took £15,000 ($30,000) out of her business and ran away without letting her business partner know and hasn't been seen for weeks. She's also now a coke addict.

Oh well.

I guess it depends on how we define "stupid," too. Few people are truly stupid, and I tend to think of everyone being smart in one way or another (book smart, street smart, or even smart with cars).

intelligence can't be learned. knowledge of something can be learned through study, but I don't consider that being intelligent. so definitely ugly but intelligent because u can always get a makeover or something.

Babe, how is intelligence NOT learned? I mean in Psych we even read how intelligence is a learned thing. I mean intelligence is different in every culture so there is no where to be born intelligent, you build intelligence through the social constructs you are born into.

^It depends what you class as intelligence. I know some really knowledgable people who got straight As, could computer programme, add like a calculator, recite the dictionary and various facts, but I wouldn't class them as 'intelligent' because they had no common sense whatsoever. They couldn't read or interact with people, judge situations, act accordingly, form opinions or express themselves etc. And on the other hand I know some people who don't have a single qualification, but they are great at working and understanding people, have raised kids well, etc.

It's weird

The thing is there are different types of intelligence, like you said you have to have intelligence to raise a child, to pass an exam etc, these are all forms of intelligence, which are learned. Instinct is even a learned thing (thought we develop this very quick), you wouldn't call a new born baby intelligent, would you?.

I find the instincts that we have as a child fascinating. Like how singers spend years trying to achieve the diaphragm control that all babies have instinctively so they can cry so loud but "forget" how to use as they grow old.
