    Intelligence is your mental capability. Being smart is using those capabilities. You could be very intelligence- have a great capacity- but not use it at all and be "dumb". Like those people that slacked off in school!

    Smart is more like "crafty". Think of a fox.

    Intelligent is more about your ability to acquire and apply knowledge.

    Smart is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.

    Intelligent is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.
