"Smart" is vague, but in any case I'm not sure it's possible. For sure I can't.
Here's my anecdata with a very narrow but pragmatic definition of "smart". When I did academic research, there was no correlation between any aspect of the casual conversation I held with students and their abilities in maths and CS theory. N=O(10).
