    He explains that intelligence is not based on formal education. It is more complex than that. Intelligence is the ability to comprehend information using critical thinking skills. It is possible to be smart without a formal education, but it is also possible to have an education and be feeble minded. I can relate to his mother’s situation in a small way. I worked as a waitress for a summer, and I can see how ‘worked smart’ as I tried to do.

    In one way I can describe Dicey is intelligent because she had to sense new ways to get food for her and her siblings with very low cash. She completed a plan to get to her Aunt Cilla's who had a large home in Bridgeport,Ct. Lastly, Dicey formed her own a plan to blend in with others.

    Not just smart about math and things but what decisions to make hear and what to do there not go out guns blazing but to have a plan. In my escape from north Korea Hyeonseo Lee was in Korea at a very bad time so she and her family sneaked across a river into china and acting and speaking like them so they don’t get thrown in jail. She uses her knowledge and learns and watches Chinese people so she can act just like them. Because of this she was able to live in china away from the horrible life in north Korea where you saw people starving to death on the sides of the streets. But everything doesn’t work out as planed they had been found and her family was thrown in jail. But a man had help her. She told him in broken English what had happened and right there in then that man busted her family out of jail. If she wouldn’t have thought head and learned more than just Chinese, her family would still be in jail because she would have never been able to explain to the man what had happened if she wouldn’t have spoken his language.

    Intelligence is an intrapersonal phenomenon, that is inside a person and it is generally agreed that the nature of this energy is unknown. Nevertheless, it may be known by its mental products (Groth-Marnet, 1997; Wechsler, 1939). Because there are many different ways to be intelligent there have also been many different definitions proposed (see Neiser, et al., 1996 for summary). A consensus on what constitutes intelligence is generally lacking. Alfred Binet (1908), the author of one of the first modern intelligence tests, defined intelligence as the inclination to take and maintain a specific direction, and capacity to adapt to achieve a goal outcome, and the power of autocriticism (Kaplan, & Saccuzzo, 2005). In contrast, David Wechsler, the developer of the Wechsler scales, defined intelligence as the aggregate capacity to act purposefully, think rationally, and deal effectively with the environment (Wechsler, 1958 as cited in Kaplin, & Saccuzzo). A review by Sternberg, (2005) of intelligence literature over the past century by psychologists and intelligence experts reveals two…

    In chapters 1-4 of The Philadelphia Negro, W.E.B. Du Bois provides historical context about African Americans in Philadelphia from the early 1600s to the mid 1800s. Before he shifts to the sociological study, he covers the trajectory of blacks in Philadelphia from the arrival of the first slaves to the growing free community as a result of the mass exodus of African Americans from the South. He concentrates on the socioeconomic status of numerous pecuniary classes as well as changes in the division of labor that created an even larger divide between them. What he also reveals with this disjunction are the intra-racial antagonisms and class aversions that contribute to the destruction of unity within the African American community. More specifically, blacks who were the considered ‘elite’ as a result of their white-collar jobs, formal education and monetary portfolio compared to those that were working class with little to no education that lived in the lower wards with a higher concentration of poverty.…

    After reading “Hidden Intellectualism” it definitely supported my feelings of what smart can be. I know academics is a part of smartness, but I know that smarts do not come from just books, but also from experience, and being around the block. A person can be extremely smart and have a terrible GPA, just like what Graff was talking about in the article. The person who is struggling does not strive in a school atmosphere and looks towards other things and gets incredibly smart that way. People can be totally oblivious to the outside world and have perfect A+’s, it can work in both ways. (302)…

    “It seems to us that in intelligence there is a fundamental faculty, the alteration or the lack of which, is of the utmost importance for practical life. This faculty is judgment, otherwise called good sense, practical sense, initiative, the faculty of adapting one’s self to circumstances. A person may be a moron or an imbecile if he is lacking in judgment; but with good judgment he can never be either. Indeed the rest of the intellectual faculties seem of little importance in comparison with judgment” (Binet & Simon, 1916, 1973,:42-43).…
