15 Signs You're HIGHLY Intelligent!

Signs you might have higher than average IQ! From being an introvert to staying up late these are top signs you are high intelligent

15. Not just book smart- Intelligent people are aware that some things can't be learned in school or by reading a book. While good grades and a high GPA is a good indicator of being smart, there are other ways to measure intelligence that doesn’t involve tests, teachers or homework. Most of people’s intelligence is set through first-hand learning and experience in the real world. Exhibiting logic, working memory, abstract reasoning and a willingness to learn is the way to being street smart in settings outside of the classroom. Smart people are always ready to face the world around them and tackle each day with a need to learn more.

14. You understand how much you don’t know- The smartest ones have no trouble admitting when they don’t know something or are unfamiliar with a certain concept. This is because there are always new things to learn each and every day. Intelligent people are always willing to learn from others to expand their knowledge. They are open to talking to meeting with people and learning new things from them. Smart people are cumulative, meaning many things can expand your brain power which taking in other people’s opinions and critics, finding opportunities and searching for answers.

13. You have insatiable curiosity- Those who have a hungry mind and are curious about the world around them usually have higher levels of knowledge acquisition and intellectual investment over time. Curiosity leads to questions and the need to solve them. Not only does it keep your mind active and observant to new ideas, but it opens up new doors to possibilities. Most people would say curiosity killed the cat but instead for some people it actually nourishes them. In fact, most of the greatest inventions stemmed from human interest, anything from electricity to Apple’s ipads were inspired by curiosity.

12. You’re open minded- Smart people don’t easily close themselves off to new visions or suggestions. Intelligent people are usually open and willing to consider and look at another idea with value. They are open to alternative solutions and like to live outside the box. They embrace opposing views and look at things in a different angle. They also accept that there is also more than one correct answer to things. Intelligent people like to look at all possible scenarios and are eager to know more.

11. You’re skeptical-People of high intelligence will always draw skepticism, and it’s not because they have a negative viewpoint about something. It’s because they always want to test out different theories and answers to generate new ideas or concepts that are supported by facts and evidence. As counteractive as it sounds, skepticism is linked to open-mindedness due to the need for cognition and knowledge. Being skeptical not only challenges one’s learning critique, but it allows people to brainstorm and communicate about different concepts.

10. You ask good questions- It’s true what they say, there are no wrong or dumb questions as asking questions gives us an opportunity to learn. However, intelligent people know there is a huge difference between asking questions and asking the right questions. People with high intelligence ask thought provoke questions that challenges, disputes as well as provides answers. Asking questions that test your way of thinking and your beliefs can help you visualize new solutions to difficult problems.

I thought picking your nose had something to do with being intelligent ... I thought I had a chance .

[zoadlaskar]

when ur so insecure u gotta watch this for self esteem issues😂😂😂

[dannymccune]

Hang out with people who know more than yourself, become smarter. Hang with idiots, FEEL smarter. Unless the idiots you choose are all smarter than you.

[mauritsvw]

I know I'm dumb, so does that make me intelligent?

[rubyjingles]

I have like 14/15 of these. I am like "wait, I'm not stupid?"

[justinrohrer]

So I'm not a psychopath like my dad thinks. I am I'm just a smart person in a family of idiots

Who else came here thinking they are HIGHLY Intelligent?

[differentmindspodcast]

I might be intelligent, but I’m definitely a night owl 😃

[ramisgreenful]

Wise, thoughtful and encouraging signes! Congratulations!!

[kfcpatrol]

I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.

[kimberlyjacobs-bowman]

I am highly intelligent but the only thing I don't have on this list it's that I get distracted very easily I'm an extrovert and I like telling people about info I know and asking them for info

[mixey]

In most cases intelligent people do not watch these "Are You Intelligent" videos

15. I don't read much, outside internet, and prefer the compact, succinct answers to everything, so... win? I hate reading books to learn.
14. I definitely know what I don't know, but will try to figure it out before an answer. Open to meeting new people? So introverts aren't intelligent? I'm "open to it, " but often would rather not.
13. Curiosity about *certain things* - some things are boring, right?
12. Open minded? Depends. I'd rather not compromise my morality compass (You're wrong). But if it's something outside the compass, sure. I approach every situation with the attitude that everyone probably knows something I don't.
11. Skeptical... Always. There's so many lies, and wrong answers, you have to be skeptical - even when watching videos like this. Many times the wrong answers are to questions no one asked...
10. Ask questions only when it disputes the topic, or leads to more USEFUL information. People always make conferences longer by asking too many pointless questions that have little relevance. I question whether they do this to hear themselves talk?
9. Always adaptable - In my career field, you absolutely have to be to successful. You can't be a dinosaur, or throw out babies with bathwater.
8. Self critical - isn't everyone?
7. Stay informed - yes, but I wish I wasn't these days. There are too many people that are acting like mindless drones, due to what the media tells them. They will literally believe ANYTHING that comes out of the mouths of someone with a mic.
6. I try to minimize worrying. I don't want to die young, but I do find alternative solutions, and treat every problem like it's an emergency.
5. Hang out with others? see point 14.
4. Using time wisely? In this day in age? Perhaps by comparison, but watching YouTube certainly isn't a wise use of time. If you're here, you automatically lost this point.
3. In tune with emotions? I seriously question this one. See 5 and 14, but I guess I get a nagging feeling when I sense that someone isn't happy, or perhaps doesn't like me. Everyone else thinks I'm just seeing things, but...
2. Oh my gosh... I need a freaking Ambian or something. This has been my entire life. Those times are my magical numbers. I don't know what's wrong with me. I was taught: "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise?"
1. You just obliterated 5 and 14.

Moral of the story? I don't know...
Being emo is intelligent? (I'm not emo)
Being a socialite (but still being an introvert somehow) is intelligent?

to determine your IQ from a YouTube video is an exercise in futility?

[rezapishkar]

my iq is 270 and i'm only 8 month old.

[mbpanzo]

Tempt: There are no stupid or dumb question.
Katy: Is math related to science?

[lanzo]

your smart enough to see a comment in a youtube comment section that has so much things wrong with it, you have thousands of things to say to that person, but recognize this is youtube so you just move on.

[no-bozos]

Watching these videos of lists of traits is not unlike listening to a horoscope about yourself. Everyone ends up thinking, "Yeah, that's how I am", and naturally walk away thinking that they fit the criteria.

[alisontunny]

Thanks for adding intelligent people tend to work better later on and to to sleep later. I did all my best studying After 11pm and tend to sleep from midnight to 7am!

[brianjonboeckler]

I guess you folks didn't have many of these qualities, based on your comments. The only thing they missed was ADD, ADHD and dyslexia, also signs of abnormal intelligence. But don't worry, intelligence is more of a pain than you know. It means we actually feel guilty when we're wrong. NO lol.

[Erichx]

u realize these videos are made for views right, none of these could be right lol, all they did was do a google search off an article with no links to actual studies
