It took me a while to accept that I’m actually pretty intelligent. I tend to be very self critical and put myself below others. It wasn’t until i started looking back on a lot of interactions I’ve have in the past where people kept calling me “wise beyond my years” and “old soul”, etc. that i realized my way of speaking, thinking, mannerisms, actions, and reactions were not that of my age at the time. I don’t mean to toot myself up, but it also took my a while to understand that my grades didn’t reflect my intelligence. And when i think about it, many people tried to reassure me of that. Many think you have to excel in everything to be intelligent, but contrary to popular belief, one may just have a specific area where they excel (not limited to common core) and that is intelligence in and of itself. Go where your heart takes you and you’ll see that the growth never stops. Such powerful individuals, the humankind.

(This is also a note to myself as I’m still learning too)

I was born with special needs, but I know I'm a really smart guy. Even though I sometimes don't act smart or say anything smart, I know, somewhere deep inside my brain, I have intelligence.

[YnnaLifeinJapan]

I believe all people are smart just in different ways and matters. Our brain is really complex. ❤️

[randomguy]

I've never considered myself "traditionally smart", but since I was aware of it, I usually could avoid getting in over my head and learn at my own pace. Never thought of that as a type of intelligence. Very interesting. Thanks for posting:)

I got 4 out of the 6 traits, but an important reminder that there’s different types of intelligence and that everyone is gifted in their own ways. It’s not always about the brains, but what you believe in and your heart.

Of course, you need to balance your intellectual side and your emotional intelligence side as too much emotional intelligence makes you super sensitive, gullible, and might make foolish choices but having too much intellectual side makes you cold, apathetic, and you won’t get to enjoy things that you love or desire.

Balance between your mind and your heart is vital to have a fulfilling life, and DON’T allow grades to define you as you are a human and it’s normal to make mistakes! Bless you all!❤️

Yes this helped me know a little more about a way of operating that I thought was weird. I have doubted my intelligence and also constantly striving to know more. Thank you for amazing/informal and entertaining video.

If I can tell people by their footsteps then I'm something.
By the way let's agree that this channel is more educational than school.

[FaolanHart]

That last one hit hard.
I get pulled up a fair amount over calling myself stupid.
I'm not beating myself up, I just recognise how very lacking I am in so many basic areas of intelligence. Often feel like a dumb man with smart man thoughts. Like a Neanderthal seeing visions he couldn't possibly understand.

Now this is something I need. My mom always says I’m smart but I don’t see it.

[artwithjam]

Videos like this are nice because everyone can always say "yes I relate to this" for at least one of the things that "make you a genius" on lists like this.

[-LOTUSFLOWER-]

Also I love your vids. Your vids always help me find out more about myself!

[strangewayfaringstranger]

Btw, this was one of the more relaxing videos, with the soft music, sound effects like rain and of course Amanda's lovely voice. I really like the animation too.

[Jess]

This was reassuring. Sometimes I don't feel all that smart, generally due to my performance back when I attended school, but this lifted me up a little.

[cypher]

The way you defined being smart seems to cover a lot considering you included some emotional intelligence as well. I guess I was thinking that regardless of weather I have most or all traits, I have made some pretty stupid choices at times in my life. But I guess that's growth. But I really hope that I was smart enough to win the contest about what's missing in the picture! Lol thank you again for another insightful and thought provoking video! Love your channel

[jackiebeng]

I been having anxiety for the pass two ish weeks to maybe a month and I ve been watching your guys video and it just so comforting… so I just want to say thank you 💙
