Do You Have the Traits of a Genius?

As someone with Inattentive ADHD, I was wondering that. It definitely sounds like ADHD.

[@jaimefox7762]

This looks more like aspergers actually. some of the symtoms are similar tho

[@doublecheeseburger8001]

they could also be discribing a individual with enough autism to be called weird but not enough to get crazy when a thing is 5cm to the side

[@Sam_P29]

ADHD, anxiety, and having a high IQ actually have many similar “symptoms”. My psychiatrist described it to me using a Venn diagram where each has traits that overlap with one another. Autism (and Aspergers as it is part of the spectrum of autism I think) is often accompanied by a very high IQ. I’m not sure why this is but I do know the correlation exists. So the traits listed in this video are likely common among geniuses, those with ADHD, and those in the autism spectrum. Some of these traits would also pertain to people with anxiety, but the particular behaviors mentioned in this video are less in line with that of someone who only has anxiety.

I can see how you are not a very open minded person, because you did not understand the explanation behind each characteristic. Staying up at night is only somewhat beneficial if it means that you are actively thinking. And forgetfulness simply means that your ideas override simple information, because you can't remember everything. The real factor in determining if you are a genius is whether or not you are a rational thinker, because you can actually just have been a basic thinker the entire time. But these are just possible indicators if anything, and I doubt everything inhibits it because there are so many people out there.

Geniuses are not everytime become genius because they have these traits. They are just the traits of people who have become genius but that does not mean that everyone who have these traits become genius. Except the focus even I have all the traits and I am sure every person in the world have these traits. Geniuses are made because of there hardwork and dedication towards their trade whether it is science or art or any other field. It takes lot of sacrifices and hardwork to become a genius so we cannot make fun of them by saying that they we are equally intelligent to them. The ones who have proved that they are deserving of calling genius are true genius.

I was tested 3 times in my life to see what my IQ was. It happens to sit at about 140, which is the minimum IQ to be classified as a genius. Lots of these things apply to me, but the optimism that geniuses supposedly have is not something I can relate to. Beyond that, I have noticed lots of gifted individuals are far from optimistic. In fact, it’s common to hear about troubled geniuses. I have my theories as to why this is, but I want to hear what others think as well. My 2 theories are as follows. 1) The social awkwardness and lack of respect for social norms isolates geniuses from their peers. Despite what you may think, they can’t just be entertained by their own minds all the time. Just like anyone else, they don’t want to be alone, and they certainly don’t want to be seen as an outcast. 2) Their high intelligence can make it easy to see all the injustices in our world. This could be on a small scale, like noticing lies they are told that most people are blissfully ignorant to. However, it could also be on a larger scale where they see the inherent flaws of human nature.

I agree with part one, but part two of your statement is completely wrong. The literature done I.Q is so solid there is almost no social science data on any other subject that comes close to it. I can link you a peer review done by Dan Simon that reviews some of the most relevant studies. You could just google it too

[@sanquine8396]

XShock Well if you ask me I would rather have something positive to relate to, as I wouldn’t like to see the traits of a dickhead video because I am afraid of being a dickhead, and maybe all these thousands and thousands of people didn’t have a good day, because I don’t want to stop people from making eachother happy.

[@officialclownbusiness7788]

Sanquine okay, I see where you are coming from with the whole "brighten up their day" mentality, and I admire such a positive outlook, but the fact is, a false sense of superiority will make everyone that person comes in contact with slightly worse off. Overall, brightening up one person's day in this particular way can do a small amount of harm to the entire population, as nobody likes a cocky prick, and outright hate it when there is little to no reason for the cockiness to begin with.

[@and_I_am_Life_the_fixer_of_all]

Max Power, I normally get 140-160 on IQ tests. I’m 23 years old, from Brazil, I am considered a genius among my peers and I fit 100% in everything he said. I agree with the original post in some ways too, just like an IQ test doesn’t prove anything other than recognition of patterns, Emotional Control tests also can predict much. I feel like this video was made for introverts to feel better, but at the same time it did say some correct things most people get wrong. We are introverted extroverts and vise versa. Watch John Fish and GarryVee on KZbin to get a grasp on how we love life to the point where we make a shit load of things happen without caring about others opinion, as the only person responsible for our happiness is ourselves! Have a good day! :)

[@nanaanan4731]

[@Skyhigh_905]

The only one I definitively and confidently said 'Yes' to is having terrible memory.

[@KanedProductions]

The reality is, to think you are a genius defeats the idea of what society considers a 'genius'. To truly learn, you must first realize you know nothing at all, no matter how much you do know. No genius will ponder if they are a genius, because it is nothing more than social status to them. They care about the furthering of humanity as a whole, and bettering their immediate world.

[@stanislawskiign4985]

Kaned Productions I find so many comments pushing the sematic that to be a genius you need to realise that you infact know "nothing at all".There are two problems with this statement, one this cliche refers wisdom more so than intellect depending on how you choose to distinguish the two.Also making this statement doesn't actually reference the continuum of human intilligence on which geniuses lie. And there isn't much reason to belive that the most intellectually gifted individuals cannot also become absolutely deplorable moral monsters.

[@kshinji]

Who cares what society considers a genius. Society is far from reasonable. "No genius will ponder if they are a genius, because it is nothing more than social status to them." How would they arrive at that conclusion if they never wondered about it? And are you assuming geniuses don't have ego at all? "They care about the furthering of humanity as a whole, and bettering their immediate world." Sure, if we redefine genius this way, okay. Cause it's obviously not the actual definition. And this kind of emotionally invested redefinition attempts prove you are not a genius.

[@kshinji]

stanislawski exactly, but you know, genius is rare. Most people commenting here are nowhere near and they are actually embarassing themselves in the eyes of true geniuses.

[@oghenekaro]

i dont think of myself as a genius because of the social status, but because i often see things in a way no one would see it or understand, i have to constantly explain and prove people wrong, a lot of people tag me as wierd, i could easily feel bad for being weird or not like others, or consider myself special and better than others, which do you advice i do?

What a bunch of stereotypes

[@Metalbringer92]

Yup, this video basically says "if you go around dressed like a hobo and don't tidy your place then you genius hurr durr so smart". It's on of those vids that gives lazy people excuses for being lazy.

[@kshinji]

But then it makes sense. I only tidy up because I feel compelled to. And only as much as necessary and only as often as strictly needed. If I could think and live well with less tidying, I definitely would have.

[@ozenky]

I'm so glad to see that some people know this is just a lot of stereotypes, but more than that, these stereotypes comes from having someone with bad habits not properly modified in school due to, let's say, poor parental guidance. When the kid is really really smart, and outsmarts parents, they can't find ways to correct bad habits and just let the kids "be", because they are smart; but if you are not smart and misbehave and parents can't control you, you will develop the same habits AND you'll be an asshole. They are not only stereotypes, they are WRONG stereotypes of an smart person.

[@kshinji]

Is your point that school should correct bad habits of geniuses? You're crazy.

[@sehbanomer8151]

I consider myself as a smart person, I learn everything quickly, I scored 139 on an IQ test few years ago, and I'm lazy, I can't fall asleep easily. I don't know if there are direct relationships between intelligence and all these stereotypes, but most of them fit me. Or am I just a loser who tries to make himself feel better?

[@MarNieCo]

Interesting... A lot of the qualities shown in the video are actually things that have had me in a social-anxiety deadlock for a while. Like even though I know I'm somewhat smart and had this "scientifically" proven to me once (however dubious IQ-tests may be). I was really convinced that other people must have more of a grip on their psyche since they don't have a messy room, messy clothes and chronic forgetfulness. It also felt like that, since these negative traits existed in me, my success in life would ultimately be taken down by them. I even trained myself to stop asking people too many questions because I didn't want to appear nosy. Thanks for this video for letting me rephrase those behaviours in a more positive context, though that might just be self-justification.
