This is the most ASMR channel that's not an ASMR channel I've ever came across lol. The narrator's voice is so soothing to listen to.

Interesting as always, but I can totally see how trauma can block or hinder some of these traits

[jaynadoesart]

Seems like the key to being intelligent is, simply put: being self aware, humble, and witty.

SO IN CONCLUSION :-
"Knowing who you are and continuously learning, while still being a positive force to those around you is the best, truest way to be intelligent."

The sad thing is, certain traumas and other factors can damage someone so much that some of the signs won't appear for them until they can overcome it.

It's lovely to see that we could actually feed intelligence by nourishing traits. Nourish curiosity, self-worth, a sense of personality, freedom to think and do outside the box, etc...

Once I asked myself "am I intelligent"
After extensive research and practice IQ tests(didn't have the gut to take a real one)
Sort of got stressed, woke up one morning and forgot the whole idea.
Point being some questions don't have answers that are worth losing your sanity over.
Just try to seek knowledge and collect valuable skills, you'll be set for life.
Btw I think intelligence is over rated. Its potential that ought to be exploited though we all have it to different degrees.
Wisdom however is precious. It comes from experience and looking at life from other peoples point of view(empathy). It comes from making efforts to actually implement and teaching your knowledge.
That is what we all should be striving towards.

I wish schools and the overachieving world knew this more

"Intelligence is the ability to take in information from the world and to find patterns in that information that allow you to organize your perceptions and understand the external world." - Brian Greene

Fun fact: When researchers reviewed traits of personality that had a strong association with intelligence, Openness to Experience has the strongest relationship.

I swear this channel keeps making me aware of my bad habits and the other's while also making me feel more intelligent and capable despite my newly diagnosed ADHD

[michaelkrull]

The strong self identity resonates. No need to worry about being valued by a society that values all the wrong things.

Fact:Being only optimistic or only realist is dangerous but one needs to have a combination of both optimism and realism 🙂🙂🙂

I never comment, but I feel I have to make an exception. This video made me cry (in a good way). I’ve been made to feel very dumb/worthless by some very arrogant/hurt people, so this is how I saw myself. It took this video (plus a whole lot of therapy) to realize that maybe I’m not so dumb/worthless after all. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The worse thing is you're considered intelligent based upon how many people agree with you, being with such people for example family drains motivation and mental energy.

[markmasterson]

Ability to take honest constructive criticism.
Go against social norms that are wrong.
Being honest with yourself and others
Emotional stability.

”Just because your grade is lower than the next person next to you doesn't it mean that you are smarter than them”
Even though they got a higher score doesn't mean that you are worse. It means you learned of your failures. And learning about them is the best way to learn something then to just get straight A's
