What do you think being intelligent and smart is? Is it only with IQ or academically? To me not about having high IQ or who good a maths?

To me not about maths or who most intelligent in science. To me everyone has strong interests in subjects which we are all good in. Think we all intelligent in our own way. I been told in the past that because of my disabilities that I am dumb not clever.

Yet I know am good at other areas like art painting drawing or subject like Doctor Who or subjects on animals. Does this make me less intelligent then people who have maths and science degrees? What do you think?

So the thing is that we can't do anything about IQ bit rather we should focus on our EQ... people who can handle any situation at any given time are what I would call geniuses...
I would rather be a genius at a single thing than being good at 10 things...

Generally, people with high intelligence tend to process and acquire skills faster than others. The idea and measurement of IQ are debatable. I never heard any top scientists telling everyone about their IQ.
Personally, I am great at math and science. I have an eidetic memory and speak five languages and play three instruments.
I have been drawing from the age of 3 and possess many other skills. It's mostly because learning is always easy for me and I struggle to understand why it's different from others. However, since I study physics, we also know that knowledge can never be enough and even the smartest person can fail.
So you shouldn't focus on what others think of you but only to improve your skill or acquiring new ones.

Your ability to process information

I do find it interesting how everyone processes information differently. Even if it learning new skills

[normalice]

In my view intelligence is the ability to learn.
