Some people are book smart but when it comes to interacting with people is very hard for them.My brother came out with a first class and he is working with an oil company now [mobil], he always tells me that is better for me to be societally smart than book smart but i should just try and be passing my exams thats all.He gave one example that when they are having a meeting that the magager will speak on his own part then now ask everybody,what do you have to say? That in this kind of question is when societal smart comes in and if you were only reading your books in school without learning how to interact with people, you will sitdown there like mumu first class and the magager will quickly say you don't know anything.
