Vocabulary: intelligent

There are several words that mean 'intelligent'. You might already know 'clever' and 'smart. Here are some more.

If someone is bright, they are intelligent, clever.

If someone is quick, they are quick to understand, learn or think.

If someone is quick-witted, they can think and respond quickly. Being quick-witted often means you are funny - you can quickly think of a funny or clever answer to give someone.

If someone is wise, they have a good understanding and good sense. A wise person might not be super intelligent, but they know a lot about life, and they can give good advice and do the right thing. For example, an older person, or a religious leader, might be wise.

If someone is knowledgeable, they know a lot of different things. They have a lot of information in their brain.

How about you? Are you quick, or quick-witted? Are you wise or knowledgeable? Or are you none of these things...?
