My husband is the smartest person I know. Not just because he knows a lot of facts (and boy does he know a lot of facts) but also because he’s compassionate and kind and generous and he has the second best sense of humour in the marriage.
I forgot to mention him in the video I made with Kerri yesterday because I am not as smart as he is. But I hope I get across the real difference between knowing facts and being someone as brilliant as my husband.

What do you think? Does knowing facts make you smart? Did you catch the bit right at the end of the video where we let you know the capital of Estonia (which I have already forgotten)?
Once again commenting without watching the video (you two are too awesome to experience in audio-visual mode… I can’t cope…)
I think it’s well documented now that intelligence can be measured in more than one way – there’s our IQ that measures our intellectual intelligence, but there is also EI that measure our emotional intelligence – our ability to recognize one’s own and other people’s emotions, to discriminate between different feelings and label them appropriately, and to use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior.
My IQ was high from an early age, but it’s taken me almost 50 years to develop my emotional intelligence to the same level… so, I used to be intellectually smart, but emotionally dumb – I think I’ve become much smart emotionally over the past few years…
Yes! I’ve said this for a long time. Some of the smartest people I know, know nothing!
My husband is definitely one of them. He’s a bloody genius in IT. Legit superstar in his field, but has no freaking idea who Christina Aguilera is or who played either of the Willy Wonkas or who wrote Harry Potter. He just doesn’t have room in his brain for all of that trivial stuff. But I’m a trivia nut so we balance each other out – although I truly believe my knowledge is much more user friendly. And practical. I think it’s about knowing a wide range of things and being able to apply them to your circumstances.
I think there are many different types of intelligence. I admit that I use my Kim Kardashian’s baby intelligence the most these days, but then again, I think I also have a thirst for knowledge when it comes to things that INTEREST me. Do you think that’s our main motivation in gathering facts? I feel duty bound to check in on the stuff that’s happening in the world (outside my little bubble), but I admit that if it weren’t for the fear of being so self absorbed and shallow, I wouldn’t be too smart about that stuff! It’s all in the motivation!
I think that memorising facts is great, but if you can’t analyse them and take a critical view of what you are absorbing, then it’s not as intelligent. It’s just a good memory.
I’m off to Tallin on Monday! And now I feel really smart because I’ve just learnt it is the capital of Estonia. As for intelligence vs smart – I think we tend to keep information in our heads about what interests us. For some, that is facts and figures, for others it’s trivia. Either is good, especially if you’re at a trivia night.
Anyhow, I’ll try and remember to send you some pics of Tallin when I get there 🙂 Keep up the good work Kerri and Lana – loving your 5 min chats and definitely would love to be part of the conversation one day.
