Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
Answer:
Let's take a look at some of the subtle differences between each of these terms so that you can know when to best use each one. "Intelligent" is the broadest term, meaning the ability to learn and apply knowledge. "Brainy" is an informal way of describing someone who is very intelligent, often with a focus on book smarts. "Brilliant" implies exceptional intelligence or talent, often suggesting an extraordinary or innovative mind. "Bright" describes someone who is quick to learn or grasp ideas, and similarly "quick" refers to someone who processes information rapidly.
The terms "witty," "clever," and "sharp" emphasize quick thinking and creativity. "Witty" refers to being quick with humorous or insightful remarks, "clever" suggests being inventive and resourceful, while "sharp" implies keen mental acuity, often in problem-solving or perception. "Cunning," "shrewd," and "astute" are about practical intelligence, with "cunning" implying slyness or even possibly deceitfulness. "Shrewd" refers to good judgment and awareness in practical matters, and "astute" indicates the ability to assess situations accurately and turn them to one's advantage.
"Wise" and "knowledgeable" emphasize depth of understanding. "Wise" refers to having experience, good judgment, and deep insight, often gained over time, while "knowledgeable" means being well-informed or educated about various subjects. "Erudite" refers to someone with extensive, scholarly knowledge, and "savvy" is a more informal term for practical, street-smart intelligence, especially in understanding social or business situations.
The other terms were all antonyms of the word "smart."
