I read an article this morning about a few traits that psychologists suggest show you're smart. You're Smart!
It got me thinking about all of us here at Permies.com. We study. We put our studies into practice. We research ways of improving upon what we create. We are resilient. We are creative. We work with others. We are an awesome community.
Sounds to me like we're pretty smart!
Feel free to add any attributes you think I missed!
I only dare to add one thing for sure: we (try to) collaborate with Nature. It might not be obvious, but not fighting the wrong fight and saving energies for the right challenge, is also to be smart.
The following may or may not apply:
We accept criticism, within reason.
We value diversity, and this includes diversity of opinions, for in diversity lies lays resilience. Even if we think the opinions are wrong, they have their right to have each one their own. But on the other hand, we are very sensitive about people not respecting our own opinions.
We value people and environment over wealth.
