I am a combonation of the 3.
I am book smart because I make straight A's.
I am street smart because I can survive on my knowledge. However this is my weakest "smart" because I am unable to do relatively simple things such as riding a bike or blowing bubble gum bubbles.
I am witty smart because most of the time I am able to get out of most trouble.
Vote/Post Explanations.
I'm both 2 and 3.
All.
One I guess
I know much more than most people my age, and I understand things quickly, but I don't get out of trouble easily. I could make it on my own though.
1 and 3..
I guess.
1 and 3.
I guess 1 and 2. I get mostly A's, and I know about things. :P
And I've never known anybody that couldn't ride a bike.
1 and 3.
1 and 2. I get pretty good grades and think intelligently. I hope. Street smart, I could get by in real life (assuming I had the credentials) but not "know the streets" like the hardcore. And 3, forget it, I have my awesomely witty moments but if I'm insulted or something, I can't think of a comeback. I'm also very honest.
All 3.
I'm Book Smart, i just never try. Which makes the teacher's assume I'm an idiot.
I'm street smart, i could survive and get by with the knowledge i have.
I'm mostly witty smart, as in logical intelligence. I deliver great lines with impeccable timing.
Of course it's hard to do that on an internet forum where you communicate through posts >.>;
All. For one, I know more than most my age (like that's hard to notice...), and I am more mature than most my age (tell me about it...)
For two, I can ride a bike, and know directions well. However, I'm not a totally hardcore person. Know enough to get to where I want to go.
For three, I can pun. I can also come up with comebacks (but I don't do it as often as I'd like, since I don't want to become total enemies with anyone). I can also pre-meditate good excuses. Lying can come to me naturally, and then there's times where I can be the worst liar in the world.
2 and 3
Ah, theres no option for none smart at all? xD
I guess all. Not so much book smarts, but I get by :P
And street smart because I can survive on my knowledge, I lived in a crappy neighborhood in San Diego when I was little. So I can manage. And I can get by with just about anything without getting in trouble (I'm a very good liar and good at passing the blame to somebody else :))
How about "smart ass", cuz that would be me :)
Nothing says street smart like blowing bubbles with bubble gum.

More like dumb-ass.
Anyways, I would have to say a combination of the three.

Ok both ;)
Book Smart- My GPA never gets below 3.7, I have two AP classes, and normal advanced classes, been reading since I was two...
Witty Smart- I counted "Smart Ass" in with this one. I'll treat the poop outta someone in an instant. xD That and I can usually make things work the way I want them to work...
Street Smart- I live near Chicago, and I've spent a lotta time on the east side of Indianapolis (been there just about every summer since I was I baby). 'Nuff said.
People are naturally going to say all three, just because most of us like to look at ourselves in a positive light. Plus, people have some level of all three, even if one of the categories isn't all that advanced. You ought to have just asked what predominates. I think it'd be street smarts, in my case.
