What helps Stanford determine the degree of smartness of people?

<p>Also, is it appropriate to measure someone’s smartness/acuity by abserving how good that “someone” is in math for instance?</p>

<p>Why math? because it involves logic…what do yall think?</p>

<p>No, that isn’t. I know many very intelligent people who aren’t the best at math, but are brilliant in other areas.</p>

<p>I personally think language ability is a better indicator of intelligence, as language is necessary in everything you do and constitutes a large part of your cognitive processes.</p>
