Intelligence gained outside of school. Just as useful as book smarts, and in many cases more so. It can be divided into 4 categories. 1.Getting Along With Others- Knowing which questions to ask and not asking too many,being polite and friendly, but also being assertive. 2.Common Sense- Knowing who you can trust, which areas in town are good and which are bad, etc. 3.Self-defense-Knowing how to fight and fend off an attacker, especially if you are small. 4.BS-detection-Knowing when people are trying to fuck you over, reading their intentions, and knowing that most corporate advertisements are complete bullshit.
