Top list - 6 Signs You're Much Smarter Than Average

You just might secretly be one of the cleverest persons on the planet. But individuals with a high IQ tend to underestimate their intelligence. Do we understand how to become more intelligent? What are the ways to get smarter? Can you train your brain?

Most of us move through life underestimating ourselves, wondering how to become smarter while never knowing exactly how smart we are. So how can you figure out if you or someone you know might have more brain power than the average person?

Science is always telling us new things about ourselves that confound and enlighten us. This following list shows the one or more signs people of a high intellect commonly display.

Brainy people do have similarities in their genetics that lead most of them to possess similar qualities. Many experiments have been conducted to find out what geniuses have in common.

These six traits backed by scientific studies have been found to boost your intelligence radically, If any of the following six apply to you, you just might be an individual with a higher IQ.

The following list shows the one or more signs people of a high intellect commonly display, Plus some other peculiar behaviors that have been observed among individuals with a high IQ.

▷ Number 1 - You're tall.
A study out of Princeton University found that tall people were actually smarter. They found that even in children as early as three years old, The taller a person was, the more likely they are to perform better on cognitive tests.

▷ Number 2 - You aren't a smoker.
Smoking doesn't make you as smart as some might think, as it turns out, If you do smoke, you likely have an IQ just a few points lower than the average non-smoker. That is, at least according to a 2010 study of 20, 000 young men in Israel.

▷ Number 3 - You have a cat.
Weird, right? When people can sometimes think of cat these owners as sometimes crazy. But in a 2014 study, it found out that individuals who considered themselves cat people were more intelligent. It could be because many cat owners also consider themselves introverts, They tend to use their spare time with more intellectual habits and hobbies.

▷Number 4 - You're a leftie.
Some research has indicated that people who are left-side dominant have what's called divergent thinking, Which is a form of creativity which gives you novel and exceptional problem-solving skills.

▷ Number 5 - You're slender.
A 2006 French study found those people who were more slender,
Performed better on vocabulary tests than their more overweight counterparts. This research indicates that those with a better health had healthier minds as well.

▷ Number 6 - You played an instrument.
This one especially applies to people who played music as children. A 2011 study of verbal intelligence of 4 to 6-year-old children, Found increases in linguistic proficiency after a month of playing an instrument.

So these are the signs of genius, If you matched all six then you're probably smarter than average.

Did you find any resemblance to your own character?

So what's Mind oddities all about?

[norma]

I don't think it's true, the most intelligent people in the world weren't tall, they actually were a bit lower than average or average hight. I know a lot of smart people, they're not lefties, they're not very tall and they don't have cats.

[Lily-rgwr]

I'm the smartest in my class and I am none of these except the instrument one lol 😂

[briannaisokay]

I'm tall
don't smoke
cats like me but I don't have one
I'm abdextrios
I guess I'm slender
play the ukulele, tin whistle, guitar, and keyboard.
IM THE NEXT EINSTEIN!!!

[rubellite]

I'm really
WELL, TIME TO STAND ON A STOOL!!!

[GuardianSword]

Number 7 : you find this video stupid.

Yes, scientists have discovered that if you watch this video and find it stupid, then you are a genius

[imbored]

I'm dominant left eye but dominant right hand

[nostalgiacore]

Oh, PLEASE. I'm a kid, but over 6, and play the piano. I am a dog person. (Personally I don't really like cats that much)
I am right - handed, but I NEVER want to be a smoker, I've seen what that can do to people. (I know this isn't in order, I just did the ones that most stood out to me)

[dantewalters]

Height and health have got fuck all to do with I.Q. What nonsense!

[graciegirl]

I'm tall, non-smoker, I've always had cats, I'm a lefty, slender, and I'm a musician. Now I feel special!!!

[raymondwilliams]

Really smart people don't post replies on, SHIT! WHAT DID I JUST DO?!

[ΖωήΑ]

So, if you're a healthy non-smoking tall left-handed slender cat owner that can play the guitar, you're a freaking genius.

[tracek]

wow i have 4 out of 6 and a lot of people cll me smert lel

[snipersquid]

I'm short and right handed.
Well, just because surveys reveal a higher amount of people sharing similar qualities tend to be smarter doesn't mean it applies to everyone.

[BexMcInulty]

None of those apply to me. I am average hight and weight (not overweight but not what I would consider 'slender' either). I am a dog person, right handed, play no instrument and just recently quit smoking. However my IQ has been tested by my psychologist and with a score (is that how you call it? unlike my name I'm German, not English) of 143 I am way above average. She did do a couple of other IQ tests and each test took 2 hours. All of them came out around 130-150 so I assume that my IQ is in that range. I am not here to brag about that, just to give an exception to the rule. so if none of these apply to you either, that doesn't mean you are dumb. :)
however I DO know some pretty smart people and I have noticed that many of them are lefties. I have heard that both creative people (actors, musicians, etc / just watch actors weiter something down in movies, chances are high they are lefties) and scientists are more likely to be lefties because of how their brain works.

"Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety nine percent persperation" Einstein (I think)

[Lumelore]

how in the hell does owning a cat make you smarter.

[teenwolfever]

It' hard enough to accept my lack of height (155cm at 16 and have stopped growing...I know...) now I have to accept that I'm dumber than others also BECAUSE of that???? WTF genetics? WTF world???

[DataLog]

You managed to miss absolutely all the signs that show someone is intelligent. Most of these are so insignificant that they are almost irrelevant.

[Jai.]

Right handed individuals are more on arts and arts apply maths and emotions.

[PeekAboo-pnow]

1-Shortest child in my entire grade.
2-Don't smoke(Below legal age anyways) and will never due to it being nothing but a killer.
3-I have a fear of animals in general(don't ask me why, it's just always been this way), but I do slightly have a liking for cats. Still wouldn't ever own one.
4-Lmao, Right-handed and right-footed(if that's even a valid phrase).
5-Yeah, extremely slim. Probably because of my fast metabolism which has run through my family.
6-I love music, and this is the only thing that I can say, 'True' to genuinely. I have been playing acoustic guitar for 1 year or so and electric for around 5 years. I used to play the piano and managed to skip grade 1 and go straight to grade 2, but then gave up. And I just started drums which I've now swiftly moved on to grade 1.
