Nah, I think everyone's equally smart in their own way.

Not necessarily... and what do you consider to be "smart?"
I'm thinkin this belongs in the debates section

Haha just kidding.

I don't really know. I know ALOT of smart girls and ALOT of smart boys. I just think us boys have a lack of wanting to do school work...

Some girls do too.

Like Hannah says, it depends on what your definition of "smart" is. There are several different forms of intelligence, and each sex have different forms that they seem to be better at.

Boys- They are better with visual/spatial skills. They also tend to have more logical intelligence being better in subjects like math, and the sciences.

Girls- When tend to have a bit more creative intelligence as well as linguistic intelligence. This makes them better with the communication arts, and simply art in general. They also score higher in interpersonal intelligence, meaning they they are more social (this should be no suprise).

This divide is shown really well with the old SAT scores. Females generally did better with the English/Grammatical section of it, while the males excelled in the Math portion.

Then again, we also have to deal with oxymorons like "military intelligence" and "smart bombs" so putting up with an oxymoron like "good morning" really isn't all that tough..."

How this came about was school.

I don't think that you can make this such a general topic.

"Smart" isn't concrete enough of a term--it's more of an opinion word.

I can be smarter than someone else, but I'm not intelligent. I can be an intelligent person but supposedly "not smart."

Personally, I think the question is who has the higher IQ. I think that boys have (generally) a higher IQ...but that's because most of the IQ tests that we've taken at my school deal with math and science, whereas there are more girls in the classes like history or English.
