There's no way to address your comment unless you present the alternative definition of "smart" you would like to use. As is, I don't even know whether it's relevant - if you're just discussing definitions, I'm not particularly interested. Which of the following do you think are not 1. being smart 2. related to IQ: 1. Ability to reason out answers to questions or problems 2. Ability to make plans 3. .. learn 4. .. generalize - build abstract models from limited data These are all very much IQ things that people generally call being "smart", and which very much correlates with success in life.
