How can you tell someone is smart?
Interesting question that came in from the audience, my sense is there are people on Steemit who have some good answers here. Check out the clip and leave your thoughts in a reply!

Yes, I like the assessment of smart people. It is easy to detect people that are not smart but truly smart people fly under the radar.
What is smart? I was married to a man who had a PhD in Chemistry. I’m sure he’s a brilliant scientist, but he was so dumb at so many other things!
Truth is, most people are smart at something. They might be incredible chefs, brilliant mathematicians, or whatever...
So true.
"Truth is, most people are smart at something."
I believe Einstein said that: 'Everybody is a Genius. But If You Judge a Fish by Its Ability to Climb a Tree, It Will Live Its Whole Life Believing that It is Stupid.'
Like trying to wear glasses when you don't need them!
They use a middle initial! Seriously, as @davidpakman noted , smart people tend to ask more questions, but related to that is that they listen to others. Something I need to practice more often. Also they don't degrade or make someone look dumb or inferior in front of others.
You are absolutely right @armentor
Someone says smart if it has a high IQ
They have the ability to walk you through things step by step, without requiring great leaps. They spend a lot of time reading. Intelligent people normally get excited when you ask them why or how, whereas mimics normally get frustrated. :)
You can generally tell by the way people (1.) carry themselves and (2.) speak to others
You can be smart in one area and dumb in another. Fast learners or open minded people are the ones making more questions, but that does not make them smarter.
I really agree with what has been written
