Scientists Reveal 13 Signs of Exceptional Intelligence

[@BRIGHTSIDEOFFICIAL]

Do you have anything to add? :)

[@heythere7531]

Intelligent people love shorter, but informative news.

[@Hip.Username]

I have something to add, watching this video I had flashbacks of the horrifyingly disgusting messy cat houses I've been in. I barely scrolled the comment section, and not surprisingly saw a "like if you agree" comment with upvotes regarding cats and being messy and nothing else. There should really be some clarification on that in this video. I don't think we need anyone feeling validated for hoarding and cat farming. Just throwing that out there

[@lasenoritacometa1977]

Intelligent ppl like to be in the shadows and observe . They also don’t like to draw attention to themselves 😌

[@Alienami]

You said "Index finger" when it is the Ring finger that indicates testosterone in utero... and mine are identical in length... so obviously I noted the error immediately...

[@Alienami]

And some intelligent people prefer dogs... for companionship and emotional support, because finding suitable and willing humans is challenging... and some days you just need unconditional love and acceptance and affection... and dogs do that better than even my own friends and family...

[@mattwyrick8394]

@@kiwiyt5423 Not unsmart but just ill informed (jk). Actually it was a joke on psychologist who feel that IQ is anything but an overly simple indication of how well you might do in school with all other factors being perfect. In other words it's useless for much of anything except a diagnostic tool when psychologists suspect a problem. We (All people) don't even know what intelligence is much less how to measure it. Lately there have been a lot of alternative intelligences proposed. Say you are a people person. You get along great with everybody and everyone loves you then we could say you have a high people IQ or Social IQ. Say that you can walk, boat or drive anywhere and find your way perfectly. That would be a spacial IQ. In fact there have been so many of IQ's proposed that it makes the argument useless. So we are right back where we started. A guy named Terman tried to look at it a different way. He wanted to find where genius comes from (Not Trump 😆). He took 180 boys and girls who's IQ's were above 175 and followed them for 40 years. Not a single one was what people would call a genius. Most did very well and had distinguished careers but no geniuses. So far nobody has pegged a genus in the making. So if anyone thinks a high IQ is what a genius is they are probably selling you a stack.

If you asked a bunch of people if they have these traits, they would almost all say yes; because the human mind has very powerful cognitive biases which make it difficult to see their real selves, look up the "above average" effect.

[@angelabender8132]

[@serenity5957]

Okay let us think we are smart

[@TerryReedMiss]

The video was merely discussing the traits of intelligence or intelligences, plural. There are all sorts of theories of intelligence but three are at the basis of this video: Sternberg's, Gardner's and Spearman's. This video takes a lot of their accepted theoretical traits and expands upon them. As an intelligeent person, I found them to be mainly true, even if I did lack in certain areas! I mean, we're human and imperfect, so no biggie to admit we make mistakes! The video actually said that! But it's been known for eons that some people are most definitely more intelligent than others! It doesn't matter if we're speaking of general intelligence or of specific intelligences, or we define them as analytical, practical and creative intelligences or maybe interpersonal intelligence (“people smart”) or intrapersonal intelligence (“self smart”). The fact is not everyone IS intelligent even if they'd like to think so. That, as my grandfather would say, is what you get for thinking! lololol

I’m emotional a lot, but I just put my hair over my face, and give myself a couple seconds, then get out there. I panic a lot, but I forget what I panic about, and then list what ima do so I stop panicking. I can’t get out of bed, I set an alarm 40 mins before I wanted to get up so I get to be lazy. I don’t focus on what’s happened, unless it hit a string. I make a lot of mistakes, I don’t really learn from them though, as I’m lazy and forget what to do as I rush around. I don’t think I’m smart Meh. Dosent matter. Thanks if you got this far 😊

Nice way of classifying a certain personality type. I do think you might need to better define intelligence though. It seems to me that many of the traits listed in the video are signs of wisdom not intelligence. You might want to do a video on the difference between knowledge and wisdom, it would help to clarify your definition of intelligence.

[@larebnawazpirzada493]

1:15 But what about the people who love those cats...

[@yasminhabibti721]

You know, I don't agree with some aspects of this video because being intelligent in one area does not mean you're intelligent in another. For example, letting the past go after a quick analysis of what happened could mean that the individual has a higher level of emotional intelligence; however, they may not be very intellectual. The video is excluding trauma and genetics (many intelligent people, i.e. Mozart and Beethoven) did not have a lot of common sense. Mozart was a gambler and died a pauper. Beethoven would easily fall involve with his piano students and experience physical abuse as a child. Additionally, those with ADHD are known to be "on-the-go" and fidgeting. Nevertheless, many of them are particularly intelligent. Oh, and they can be quite messy. Please consider revising this video prior to posting something like this one. Still, thank you for your opinion.

[@zeroexea]

[@rz7093]

[@roealaska1363]

i agree with you but this is not meant to be Wikipedia. it is just you tube and is entertainment. but to be totally honest, look at the types of races that keep looking a the past. then look at their average intelligence. i am being realistic, not racist. the Chinese and Japanese are a good example. They were at war for 1000s of years. fighting over who hit who first. 60 years ago they stopped fighting each other and looked forward to world domination. on average they are smarter than any european nation.

[@guarddog318]

sploofmonkey , a university degree only means a person is good at memorizing and spouting back what that particular institution requires. It doesn't really have much to do with intelligence. Especially since the courses are usually designed around the average I.Q. ( I have a minor degree in mechanical design, btw. Got it in 18 months rather than the usual 2 years. )

[@kimeradon]

I think there are common denominators for intelligence and I believe many of them are listed in this video. Beethoven was an amazing composer, so was Mozart, but even though they had great intelligence in one area and failed in other areas, that does not disprove any of the statements in this video. People... All people, are a mixture of that which works and that which doesn't. There is a reason music went well for Mozart while retirement planning did not. That does not make an overly risky attitude towards finances smarter. It only goes to show that he applied effective principals of intelligence in his music and not in finances.

[@2DanTube]

I have never felt really smart - I came from a family of high achievers. Both my Mom and my older brother, could read a book and take a test and were straight "A" students. They say my Mom should have been Valedictorian however, she was awarded Salutatorian. On the other hand my older brother was Valedictorian and Star Student, the first ever from his high school to obtain both honors. He earned a full scholarship to Georgia Tech and was at Georgia Tech during the Vietnam War. So to avoid the military he kept changing his major, by the time he graduated he was an electrical, chemical, mechanical and industrial engineer. Was hired as an executive at Georgia Power - and after 18 years was fired for embezzling company assets for his personal use. I always thought he would have been some great inventor - but he never invented anything. Just a thief and often stole my stuff - through the guise of borrowing - but would never return my things and I could never find or locate my stuff. I was a lot like my father - somewhat functional illiterate - problems in school - difficulty in spelling. So to say I was sort of the family black sheep. I learned years later - in one of my mothers attempts to have me committed as a difficult juvenile - turns out I was tested for IQ several times and turned out I had a higher IQ than my brother - only by a few points - this outraged my mother - she could not believe that I had a higher IQ. Anyway, I was good at drawing and went to Art School and did very well - won a number of painting, watercolor and photography awards and was internationally published three times. Then at some point I earned more income than my brother one year - and this too set off some outrage - my brother declared at one gathering that someone with a basket weaving degree should not be allowed to earn more than someone with an engineering degree - to which I told him in the Capitalist economy - common since is rewarded over academic achievement - rather based upon work done and not thing stolen from employers. To which I explained to him that if I ever had a job earning $165K a year - there is NO WAY - I would ever steal from my employer - to say the least I have never earned a lot - and even then I would not steal from my employers - nor even borrow from them without returning anything borrowed. So I have invented several items - a ceiling tile that cleans the air and puts out building fires, a pool toy that combines a surf board, peddles and paddle wheel, and kitchen drawer that keeps bugs out of the silver wear and locks to keep kids from having access to sharp utensils. So I tend to think of myself as having some sort of comfort zone with common since - but as for academic matters - I've become comfortable with not giving a dang for such endeavors - not good at it any way - so why put energy and effort into something I am not good at. I would rather work in my workshop, draw and paint in my studio, and enjoy my digital camera and Photoshop. As for smart - I'm more of a survivor - and I am puzzled as to why we don't have a National Health Care Lottery - to provide FREE health care for every citizen in our nation. Thanks for reviewing the insanity - if anyone can guide me in the right direction please freely give me your advice. Maybe I'm not as smart in so much as I am a bit of a smart aleck. Is that a word? spell check does not like it - but dang it is a noun with a definition. Oh well - I really could care less as long as someone gets the point.

IQ tests show what you have learned, but can't predict what you will do with what you have learned

[@kevinm.krueger8366]

IQ. Tests have nothing to do with what you have been taught!!!Kevin

[@Michael-cb5nm]

On last test, it's "ratio", not "ration". Was this a test : ) ?

[@lisaa6099]

Jeff Vader agreed. Ration is the wrong word here. Its ratio.

[@fitnarina]

Was it supposed to be a ring finger length/index finger length? or ring finger length minus index finger length cause the graphic shows otherwise.

Basically whenever Im getting ready for school I dont brush my hair, my parents tell me to, but I think Its a waste of time.

[@awolfnamedcookie3919]

Same, if you don't care about what other people think what's the point?

[@bobbyweirddick6556]

I don’t brush my hair because it’s just not cool. I don’t want to look like a nerd; a messy/ tidy hair looks good.

I dont brush my teeth instead lol coz brushing takes about 1 min and it cost time

[@seekeroftruth399]

My mother was the smartest person I ever met. She could make money out of nothing. She was indeed very messy and always had her hands into multiple projects at once. It was not uncommon for me to come home from school to find her painting the walls yet a different color or having the couch and chairs ripped apart teaching herself how to upholster furniture. A mother of seven, she took my father's weekly paycheck and parlayed it into a real estate empire before it was fashionable to flip houses. Her natural negotiation skills were incredibly successful. She could sell you your own shoes. She would buy these dilapidated old duplexes, and my father would fix them up. Not only was he very knowledgeable about what needed to be done, but he had an innate sense of beauty and design and made them look beautiful. Mom would then rent them out. At one point, she had a dozen or so of these duplexes plus a couple of farms. It was the 1950s; she had taught herself how to do this. Her lack of fear and willingness to try new things were her strongest personality traits. If her ideas didn't work, they didn't work, like the time we found she had purchased a huge vertical freezer (which cost a fortune to run) loaded with hundreds of dollars of, what turned out to be, "old meat." Without any drama, she would learn from her mistakes and just "move on." She taught herself how to grow the money she was making through investing it and how do her own accounting and taxes because, let's face it, she was cheap. She had become one of the first "millionaires next door." (P.S. she may have had undiagnosed ADHD.)

[@fatimarkhan5874]

My cat, my fingers and my messy room shows that I'm smart 😀 Maybe 😊

You know you have exceptional intelligence when you did not watch this video about exceptional intelligence because you already know you have exceptional intelligence and do not hope to find any traits of exceptional intelligence by watching a video about exceptional intelligence just to make you feel like you have exceptional intelligence

[@lillybloom1590]

Pardon me, but I forgot one of the major characteristics of geniuses. It's that they're easily able to watch, read, and listen to views that are opposite others, and this they often do. I've asked the three geniuses I've known about that, and they've each told me independently of the others, that knowing and understanding opinions opposite to theirs helps them hone their own views by seeing where they need strengthening or changing (to one degree or the other.) Now, would it not be nice if every human had that view of the world? I have several friends and acquaintances who watch or listen only to the news from CNN, MSNBC, NBC, NYT, PBS, NPR, and WAPO. Every other news outlet else is absolutely wrong, even though they've never personally heard a word of what they're saying. Believe me when I tell you, they're certainly not close to the genius category, or even the smart category. They do have some redeeming qualities, and are still my friends, however.

[@michealtm]

I agree, you would find that people adopt the views that easily fit their lifestyle, which is why they don't watch opposing views. They may fear that logic can destroy their habitual nature, therefore ridding them of their safe spaces and threatening their comfort zone. So they demonize the opposite side and cower away from its voice. Those are not just far from smart, they surrender to delusion for the sake of personal pleasure and comfort. That makes them fools in every sense of the word, and they represent a huge portion of humanity. Many of them can be well-spoken and even intelligent, but they are not wise! Merely intelligent people can be dangerous, because people listen to them and follow them, yet they may be blind and lead masses down the cliff. Wise people on the other hand, are also well-spoken, they may not pass tests with flying colors, but when they open their mouths, they fill the gaps where intelligence fails. Those tend to lead people to their destination.

HAVING the pet in question isn't relevant, bro. Your preference is what matters, are you a cat person or a dog person? I like dogs, but i prefer cats... I don't have either of them though, too much responsibility, i'm too lazy to bother with it. xD

He did say that it’s written in our math class

[@MyouKyuubi]

@@johnpaulkane5977 He said everyone is a genius at something... because smartness is relative, in the sense that, you can be a genius liguist, but a terrible mathematician. Problem is, discovering what you're a genius at, is usually very difficult due to countless undiscovered factors and variables.

[@BillBoyBaggins]

"Smart people adapt." The older you get, the less willing to adapt, one becomes.

[@irmgardstaebler9924]

I would say the older you get, the less open to toleration you become - that's why it's more easy to turn away than to adapt
