This is a good way to describe what we're talking about in my mind.

Although many generally regard the concept of intelligence as having a much broader scope, for example in cognitive science and computer science, in some schools of psychology, the study of intelligence generally regards this trait as distinct from creativity, personality, character, or wisdom.
So reasoning, comprehension, problem solving, and learning, as oposed to creativity, personality, character, or wisdom, is the 'smart' we are talking about.

My final answer is probably Eternity or Death, but I can't really back it up citing examples.
