1. Artistic talent. Creativity and intelligence are linked in your brain.
2. Self correcting. You are not interested in being right, you argue for the sake of learning, exploring and challenging.
3. Regular skepticism. You understand that the world is not a binary place, most of the time, the right or wrong answers do not exist. Instead you have a spectrum of opinions.
4. Emotional overdrive. Intelligent people control their volatility.
5. Childhood reading.
6. Uncommon knowledge. You don’t realize how much you know.
7. Difficulty relating to others. Your logical brain jumps 3 or 4 steps ahead and an average person just can’t catch up.
8. Intelligent friends. You attract people like you.
9. Delaying gratification. Will you choose Netflix over a long-term fitness goal?
10. Lacking explanations. You have the brain power to understand the complicated subjects, but lack the verbal skills to explain to someone else.

I was only smart enough to recognize that I am stupid.

"It's lonely at the top." That's why we have trouble relating with peers. We simply don't flow on the same wavelength.

I came here skeptical as usual thinkin' ''Oh boy this is probably gonna strike everyone's ego into thinking that we're all geniuses'' but then he mentionned skepticism as one of the signs and it made me squint my eyes and think ''Mh. Well played.'' Oh sweet irony

If you use a majority of your opportunities to learn new things, you’re smarter than average.

When we stop learning, we stop living.

“You’re either smart or creative”
All the scientist that had to CREATE their scientific knowledge: Am I a joke to you? You think coming up with E = mc^2 was not creative?

Overheard my Grandfather arguing aloud with himself once & asked why he was talking to himself--
Papa: "I've got to have an intelligent conversation with someone at some point today".

[howardwang]

Yeah I always feel out of place in friend groups or ideas

[stuffnthings]

This is great because teachers who couldn't explain things to me weren't smart enough and that's not my fault

[djr]

I would love to find friends more like myself 😫 it's so hard out here!

[akalankaqs]

i'm smarter than average bc i have artistic talents and that totally made my day!

[lunagavez]

I would go to my teacher and say "in your face" but Corona doesn't agree 😂

[akinemainunangugel]

Before watching: I'm an average
After watching: so I'm smarter?

Why it's hard to believe 😔

[beccarose]

lacking explanations? the ability to explain and teach is a sign of intelligence. I have all these signs apart from number 10. Im a natural teacher and tailor my approach to each individual person because I have an ability to read them and understand them. being able to process and understand information and to then be able to explain it, is intelligence.

[brendadrew]

Can relate to much of this having been a professional artist/illustrator/graphic designer and fine arts painter and composer for over 50 years. It's a blessing and a curse because it's a very isolating existance but most creative people need and crave solitude in order to create! My two grown daughters are equally creative, my youngest a published author and teacher. My oldest a professional manager of a band and keyboardist! I've also been a bookaholic my whole life and read to my kids all the time, so they also love to read as well. But, I don't go around thinking I'm smarter than others or have above average intelligence, doesn't cross my radar at all...thanks for the 10 signs Top Think~
