David Perkins - What Does It Mean To Be Smart

David Perkins discusses the concept of intelligence beyond IQ, introducing five dimensions: planful, dispositional, multiple, performative, and intuitive. He emphasizes the importance of planning, attitudes, multiple intelligences, application of knowledge, and intuition in being smart.
