Though most of his vocabulary comes from silent reading. "Paradigm" is "peridiggum" instead of "paradime" in his pronunciation. Mine were always used in discussion with my parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-27130 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 19:02:27 +0000 tejbee 27130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm more book smart, DH is more street smart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-27055 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 16:06:36 +0000 Nskillet 27055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrBee smart smart is just generally being more intelligent than most people around you. My husband is that kinda guy. Also, I read my original post back and about died laughing about the irony of who is more intelligent when my post was unreadable!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-27012 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 14:21:32 +0000 chopsuey 27012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read that kids get their book smarts from their moms. Luckily I'm way more book smart than the hubs. He's more street smart though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-27002 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 14:06:52 +0000 junebugmama 27002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am more book smart. I also understand what Nskillet is saying. I'm also more smart smart. I know a lot about nothing important as well as your standard book smart.</p> <p>DH however is way more street more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-26999 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 14:00:43 +0000 mrbee 26999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Nskillet: What's the difference between book smart and smart smart?</p> <p>@oliviaoblivia: You're only allowed to plead the fifth if you're guilty! So I guess you're saying, you're guilty of being smarter than your SO? :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-26989 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 13:37:39 +0000 MrsBrewer 26989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is definitely more street smart than I am and I'm ok to admit that. But I think I am more book smart though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-26951 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 12:32:23 +0000 Rosie Girl 26951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I am more book smart, and street smart.... It depends on the area. He is pretty street smart though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-26942 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 12:18:13 +0000 oliviaoblivia 26942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can I plead the 5th? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-26932 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 11:58:09 +0000 heffalump 26932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Him for both. But I'm more creative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-26928 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 11:53:37 +0000 eeh 26928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I win on the book smarts. I love to read and always want to be learning about something new. He wins, hands down, on the street smarts/everyday living type of things. I'm constantly amazed by the things he is so knowledgeable about. He has taught me so much about things like cars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-26925 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 11:44:22 +0000 mrsjyw 26925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm book smart, DH is street smart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-26866 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 09:07:49 +0000 Nskillet 26866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about smart smart? My husband is just straight up intelligent withotut trying. Id say he's overall slightly more intelligent than him but I keep him on his toes lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-26863 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 09:04:35 +0000 twodoghouse 26863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Street Smart: Definitely my husband. I am a little/a lot naive.<br /> Book Smart: We each have our own area of expertise. I mean, I can't tell you anything about physics or how things work or writing code, but I know a lot about literature and history! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-26851 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 08:43:57 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 26851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we're pretty much matched on the book smart.... he might have an edge on me. But he's definitely more street smart (as much as I hate to admit it). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-26837 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 08:26:17 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 26837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Book : me<br /> Street : 60% him , 40% me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-26830 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 08:13:50 +0000 hilsy85 26830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm, he might be both! I would say he's most likely more street smart than I am. As for book smart, we each have our strengths. He's a math/science guy, but I have him beat in anything relating to the arts/literature/social sciences. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-26814 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 06:59:55 +0000 loveisstrange 26814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say that we are pretty equal in book smarts, but he may outmatch me a tiny bit. We have very similar IQs but know more about different subject areas.</p> <p>I am FAR more street smart than he is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-26806 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 06:40:13 +0000 mediagirl 26806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is one thing I love about him, he wins in both categories. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-26802 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 04:20:02 +0000 BSB 26802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we both have our strengths and weaknesses.<br /> I am the nerd in the family when it comes to computers and technology.<br /> He knows a lot of music, books, and random facts.</p> <p>As for IQ, we aren't geniuses but I think our IQs are pretty high. Although, when it comes to the grammar and english department, that is my weakness. For him, that is his strong point. He is far superior than me in the creative writing, art and music department.<br /> As for book smarts, I guess that would be me. Since I went to school for science and my current career. Although, my tendency to forget information may make me seem less book smart.<br /> As for street smarts, I think we both have that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-26780 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 01:10:58 +0000 MaisyMay 26780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummmm, does it sound totally conceited if I say that I am both? I have more formal education and am all about researching what I am curious about. I also know more about common sense things. Hubs is really smart too though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-26775 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 00:49:29 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 26775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the books smarts but he definitely has the street smarts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-26768 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 00:27:15 +0000 mynoahbear 26768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we're pretty equal but I might be slightly more book smart.

Example: He is the Math/Science and I am the Reading/Writing/History Facts/Trivia. And then streets - he is the practical measurements, situational, mr-fix-it guy. I am the financially smart one. Lol. We are an odd but perfect balance. ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-26761 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 00:21:50 +0000 owlmom 26761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's a rocket scientist, so he definitely has me beat on book smarts. I think we're pretty equally street smart though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-26754 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 00:07:55 +0000 tequiero21 26754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think i'm more street smart and my hubs is more book smart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-26721 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 23:18:54 +0000 Mrs. D 26721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm more book smart, but he's more street smart, at least most of he time! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-smarter-both-book-smart-and-street-smart-you-or-your-so#post-26711 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 23:12:40 +0000 MamaMoose 26711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have more book smarts he has more street smarts.
