Scientists Reveal 13 Signs of Exceptional Intelligence

[Music] Wow scientists found 13 signs of exceptional intelligence do you have any of them let's check it out it's hard to argue with the fact that some of us are smarter than others yes there are so few of us it might be offensive but it is what it is and there's no denying it we usually take IQ tests to measure a person's mental abilities but as it turns out it's not always necessary what does it mean if you were a messy person and someone lazy be smart we're going to tell you about 13 traits of intelligent people that will help you recognize them without any tests you can use these signs for self analysis counting down number 13 they love cats yes scientists really think that so-called cat people are smarter than those who preferred dogs Wow are you kidding me hmm it has been proved in a US study six hundred University students were tested and the research was presented at the annual Association for psychological science the results suggest that people who claim that they love cats placed higher on intelligent tests probably it's because people who have dogs need a companion a friend they spend more time with their pets they walk with them and teach them commands cat owners however are usually more introverted they like being alone which means they have more time for reading watching movies and learning something new how much do you agree with this tell us in the comments section below [Music] number 12 they easily adapt intelligent people adapt to the changing environment easier than less intelligent they either change their opinions or the environment itself anyway development throughout the whole life means you are a smart person number 11 you sense when you're being lied to if you're a person who is very hard to deceive there is a very good chance that you are quite intelligent smart people are believed to understand other people's intentions motivation and wishes much better think about the smartest friend you have is it easy to get him or her to do something that you want most likely the answer is no it's pretty hard to manipulate intelligent people the only way they will do something for you is if you ask them directly number 10 you are self sufficient of course intelligent people have partners they love being together with other people however they don't let their entire lives revolve around their boyfriends or girlfriends smart people can live just okay on their own they live full lives they have work they have good relationships with relatives and they're busy with their hobbies smart people can spend hours and even days reading watching their favorite movies and TV series without feeling lonely or bored if this seemed like a detailed description of you you could call yourself a self-sufficient and smart person even if you are planning to start a relationship or get married doesn't that make you feel good alright number 9 sometimes you're messy Catherine boughs of the University of Minnesota conducted research that showed that intelligent people are messier than less intelligent ones well if that's true then I must be a genius scientists think that this is because a person's mind is busy with more important things smart people know that paying too much attention to such insignificant things is stupid their time is much more valuable they can't imagine spending an entire day sorting out socks and mopping floors actually what someone sees as a complete mess intelligent people see as perfect order they organized it themselves and they hate it when someone tries to sort things out on their own so now you have a way to justify why you live in a dirty apartment and why your things are all over the place number eight you don't lie to yourself smart people don't lie to themselves just because they can't do that they are unable to convince themselves of something that they know is not true if a smart person does something wrong he or she simply admits it and deals with it without trying to conceal it with some sophisticated lies smart people have bigger problems this is the way they pay for their intelligence it would be much easier to live if they could justify something bad that they did [Music] number seven you can hold your emotions when it's necessary suppressing one's emotions is harmful to health however intelligent people don't like showing their true emotions because they can be used against them in an argument it's much better to conceal what you really feel this way you'll have a winning position something happens just get over it and let it go the mind dominates over emotions so it's easy for smart people to not cry or shout even when they really feel like it being hysterical is pointless action that's what you need number six you always make plans smart people use their time wisely that's why they don't rely on improvisation they analyze the situation and evaluate all possible options this makes them always to know what to do in certain situations they rarely panic and only make efficient choices they plan their entire day they know what they want to have for breakfast how much time it will take who they need to call what they need to buy and so on we recommend writing down all the things you need to do during the day it will help you organize yourself better number 5 you like being lazy sometimes now we've already helped you to find a way to help you explain why your room is such a mess hold on here comes an explanation why you sometimes can't get off the couch yeah like this video if you find it useful research that was conducted by a team of scientists from Florida Gulf Coast University suggests that lazing around might be a sign of high intelligence this study was based on the behavior of two groups of people thinkers and active people the second group appeared to be more active to stimulate the work of their mind the thinkers on the other hand preferred to solve a problem more quickly and spend the rest of their time being less active researchers claimed that non thinkers get bored easily and feel the need to fill their free time with other activity you can read the study in the Journal of health psychology maybe you've noticed that smart people even those that we see in the movies often have some seemingly stupid hobbies for example remember dr. house who played with his cane all the time he was quite smart wasn't he number four you don't get stuck in the past intelligent people value their experience and memories but they realize that there is no point getting fixated on what has been said and done they dream and plan their future while living in the present moment what's the point of recalling a situation that happened in the past over and over again smart people analyze it once and they move on now here's number three you make mistakes Only Fools think you shouldn't be ashamed of the mistakes you of May you see you can never move on if you keep regretting the mistakes you've done in the past the best thing you can do about the mistakes is learning from them and avoid repeating them and as you know smart people learn not only from their own mistakes but also from other people's it shows how observant they are and how efficient they are at making right conclusions number two you don't prove anything to anyone there is an easy trick to understand who is not a very smart person ironically such people often say I'm the smartest out loud on every street corner intelligent people don't push their smartness on anyone they know that it doesn't matter if anyone knows that they are smart or not and they also know that eventually other people will understand who was right and who was wrong so why waste your breath smart people know there is no ultimate truth in any area they are critical thinkers and they understand they can be wrong too that's why the avoid pushing their own opinion it's better to double-check their information by the way we at bright side are critical thinkers too so if you disagree with something we say no that's not right don't hesitate to tell us what you think in the comments section below aunt number one you know what finger ration means huh well according to a study published in behavioral brain research there might be a connection between the index finger and the ring finger ration and your mental abilities well knowing what ration even means already makes you smarter than many people but still the ration between the index finger and the ring finger can be calculated by dividing their lengths wow I didn't know this was going to involve math anyway don't stretch your fingers you don't know what means what yet so if the ratio is low a person is likely to be strong and active if it is high a person has better abilities and verbal memory tasks scientist Karl Penske and halvard Evans Moen claimed that the length of the index finger is determined by the level of testosterone in a person's body another link between testosterone and length a well compare your fingers with the fingers of the smartest people you know and tell us in the comment section below what your results are so do you know any other signs of intelligence if you do feel
