The use of the word clever.

    Hello everyone,

    Is it correct to say "I am clever"? I seem to remember in school the teacher correcting us by saying we should rather use "I am intelligent", etc. I'm not sure if I am remembering it correctly, or if I am just imagining it....

    Thanks,
    Ryan

    My perception is that the two words don't mean the same thing. To me a clever person is able to use his/her intelligence (e.g. McGyver), but an intelligent person might not (e.g. Sheldon Cooper), even thought s/he might understand the issue.

    That makes sense; I may have just remembered this inorrectly from school.

    Thanks.
