i judge 'smarts' on a persons ability to have a good prospective . Whether they can look at any and all things from different angles be open to suggestions that kind of thing. To me the ability to think healthy and open is higher then the ability to learn and comprehend things complex and simple at a good speed.

there are lots of people in this world that are smart but have so many bad quality's and bad personality in general

so if smart = good prospective ability (as that is how i judge 'smarts') then = or higher

i could not be with nor associate with ppl that are so blind to life and them self's )dumb ppl by my standers( or though i don't like the work dumb)

Probably the same. My ex is dumb and immature (not sure whether one begets the other). I'm not an amazing genius or anything, but I have a fair knowledge on certain things, so I'd want to be with someone who could discuss things properly with me. I'm a great lover of books, and NEED to discuss them!
But if they were too smart, I'd perpetually feel inferior and stupid. A middle ground is nice and healthy! In all things, I'd want our relationship to be one between equals, not tipped in favour of one or the other.

EDIT: I didn't necessarily mind the ex being "dumb", he was great company and I don't like to judge people based on intelligence (we all have our own experiences, and can't all know the same things!). But he was immature, the two went hand in hand...I wasn't sure where the lack of intelligence ended and the immaturity began, if that makes sense. Just thought I should clarify! I didn't want to sound like a total *****, there! :D
