Do you agree??

My aunt believe that people who are very intelligent do not have common sense but people who have common sense are not very intelligent.

She said I am intelligent but only show a few times that I had common sense.

What do you think?  Do you agree???

I don't know your aunt, I don't know why she'd say it if she Didn't think it, does she have a habit of professing opinions that are not her own?

Do I think she's correct? No, that sounds sorta silly. I don't see why one should preclude the other amongst humans in general...

She said it was her observation in growing up. So I wanted to know if you agree with it. I think common sense come with experience.

I think that some very very intelligent people may have a different way of seeing things, and SOME do have a different sense of time but they have common sense, it may be a bit different than "street smarts" as they dont have the kind of lives that make them have to develop that sort of thing......but for the most part I think smart pople CAN have both intelligence and common sense :o)
