Q: Tell me about an intelligent person that you know.
A: I met an attractive person because he is very intelligent. He’s my new colleague and he got well with us in a very short time. He also liked by our leader and why do I say that he’s an intelligent person is because our leader is a strict person and she’s not easy to get along with. But the new guy can easily get along with her. For example, we have to do the powerpoint in one day. and it’s a very short time for us. Our leader asked us to finish it all or she will reduce our salary. But the new guy can finish it in two days. I think he must do something to make her happy. Or he is a very clever way to discuss with our leader, so he can earn one more day. That’s the thing I can’t make it so I think he’s intelligent.

A: I met an attractive person recently and he is very intelligent/who’s also very intelligent/I met a person who’s very attractive because he’s intelligent. He’s my new colleague and he got along well with us in a very short time. He is also well-liked by our leader and why I said that he’s an intelligent person is because our leader is a strict person and she’s not easy to win over. But somehow/for some reason, the new guy could easily chat with her like an old friend and get special treatment from her. For example, we had to complete a powerpoint in one day, which is a very strict deadline for us. But our leader asked us to finish it all in one day or she will deduct money from our salary. But the new guy is an exception; he gets two days./ But she said that the new guy has 2 days to finish the assignment. I think he must have done something to make her happy/to please her. Or he used/has a very clever way to earn one more day from our leader. That’s the thing I can never do so I think he’s super intelligent.

I think he earned that is because the way he talked to our leader is more clever.
I think he earned that because he knows/understands how to communicate with our leader.

Q: People say that smart people are less-liked by others. Do you agree?

because if my EQ and IQ is high, and I won’t care if people like me or not. If they don’t like me, or I’m not comfortable getting along with them, I will change a place that I’m comfortable to stay.
because if my EQ and IQ is high,  I won’t care if people like me or not. If they don’t like me, or I’m not comfortable getting along with them, I will choose a more comfortable place. because I’m smart and I can do anything I want.

I don’t think so. I think we all like smart people because we all want to improve about many things. How could we improve when stay with people are not smarter than us.
