No, I said that people who claim they're "street smart" as opposed to "textbook smart" or say things like "oh she's a dumb-smart" or other stupid things like that are just trying to justify that they are stupid.
People who are smart don't generally go around justifying "oh I can't play sports like that, they must be rule-smart! I'm still good at sports because I can run around the block, that's worth more than being able to play a sport" or something to that effect.
It's just an inferiority thing with people who try to justify they have certain types of "smartness". Shouldn't be using such terms anyway, they mean nothing and that's the point.

Any type of intelligience in the end is beneficial, be it street smart, text book smart, or gutter smart Uni involves a lot of textbook stuff, but a lot of natural intelligience, curiousity, motivation, and interest in what you study always helps. So go wah wah wah all you like. Failure is your own enemy. Uni isn't about comparing yourself to others anymore. It's about learning the material needed and doing the exams, and getting enough marks so you dont have to pay another $400 to do the piece of shit crap subject again. So, don't take stuff too personal
And go do your biffing somewhere else you fuckers. Justify your smartness/stupidness in PM or something. Or go get a fucking room.

Uni is about learning the skills for the careers you will take up after university. Not just passing the exams. That's why most employers prefer to see a Credit or Distinction average (or Honours) - it shows that you have understood the course content and have acquired the necessary skills needed for (insert profession/career).
It depends on the course you choose, some people are more apt at some skills than others. Law requires a lot of synthesis and research, IT requires a lot of hands on work etc etc. It's just different skills, some people are more apt at certain skills than at other ones, not this "x smart v. y smart" crap.
