I could not find the explanation of my following question in English. What are
the main differences between 頭がいい人 and 頭が切れる人? It is still hard for me to
understand the Japanese version given in [this link

question
meaning
頭がいい人 versus 頭が切れる人
According to that site:

頭がいい人

  * Born smart
  * Academic / scholastic definition of smart
  * Good at studying and doing things they are told
  * Highly productive

頭が切れる人

  * Smartness acquired through practice and experience
  * "Street smart"
  * Good at learning things there is no manual / instructions for by exploration
  * Not the most productive worker, but has unexpected insights

Bear in mind that is just one net article's opinion, and seems a little biased
towards appealing the 頭が切れる人 type, but there's still some valuable
distinctions there.
