I think you&#x27;re making the point that there&#x27;s different kinds of smart - I couldn&#x27;t agree with you more.<p>What I  meant by smart and what I got from the original article is someone who is a systemic thinker who likes to categorize things. That&#x27;s a very valuable skill.<p>Learning to get along with people who don&#x27;t naturally do that (most people) is a skill you can expedite by using systemic thinking and figuring out how emotion-based conversations go :)
