Common Traits of Intelligent People

With how many people will you compare your progress?

You can compare it with your friends, your colleagues and become “The Best”. But then what?

There are still uncountable people out there in this world who will be better than you.

Focus on your own work and compare yourself with what you were yesterday. You may or may not become the best then, but you will, for sure, become capable.

Intelligent people feel cursed by their intelligence. They often think about the saying, “ignorance is bliss” and wonder if it would be better if they simply weren’t so smart.

Quiet people always know more than they seem. Although very normal, their inner world is by default fronted mysterious and therefore assumed weird.

Never underestimate the social awareness and sense of reality in a quiet person; they are some of the most observant, absorbent persons of all.

Highly intelligent people I have known tend to: Be very aware of the vast number of things they don’t know, and are somewhat humble and open-minded. Learn from others across a wide range of topics.

Don’t talk about their IQ and Intelligence, and are keenly aware that there are many other things important in life.

Know quite a bit about many different topics, and can often explain even complex topics in ways simple enough for the listener to grasp.

Tend to ask very thought provoking questions they don’t know the answers to. This last characteristic is the hallmark of some of the brightest people I know, and makes them fascinating and thought-provoking conversationalists.

They know their limits

Highly intelligent people know clearly what they’re capable of and what not. They’re not afraid to say: “I don’t know”.

If they don’t know it, they can learn it.

They work smart, not hard.

Thank you?….According to a science-backed fact, individuals who are less physically energetic have a tendency to be smarter than those who hustle all the time. The smartest folks love to keep their mind running all the time and as a result, require much less cognition in comparison to others.

They have a good working memory …That means they have executive functioning talent and the ability to concentrate on the things they’re working on.

They don’t talk too much …The smartest folks don’t participate in meaningless jibber-jabber. They know what is the best timing to keep a conversation going how to quit it when it does not benefit them at all.

They surround themselves with smart people …Intelligent people I know are always seeking out others to fill in their gaps. In this instance, they pick their life partners more wisely than the normal. They pick their ideal halves from niche dating apps, i.e., Luxy dating app that gathers the most intelligent people working for fortune 500 companies. Their matches are competent and can help them grow their businesses.

They are resourceful … According to science, the smartest folks know better like where to get useful information, supplies and resources that they need or will need. They’re good at networking with people to call on for referrals to any kind of relationships including love.

They struggle with strategy …Strategy is often seen as something without a doubt that clever people do — the ones head-of-the-elegance parents with top-notch educational credentials. But just due to the fact those are the folks drawn to approach doesn’t mean they may clearly excel at it.

They ask other people to talk faster, get to the point faster, and once they understand the issue at hand, they are not interested in hearing more about it.

This means that in dealing with them, you need to become really good at summarizing what you want to say in 1–2 sentences.

Do you want to add a word or two?

Not all intelligent people are quick or cunning. There are many intelligent people who have amazing minds, but don’t think as quickly as the stereotypical intelligent individual. Instead, these people take the time to think things through, but when they do, their answers and solutions are among the best.

Whether we’re thinking of?high –performers or straight-up geniuses, it’s always fascinating to know how the best and brightest think and act.

And while there can never be an all-encompassing resource that perfectly captures the universal patterns of all extremely intelligent people, it is quite easy to tease out common behaviors and thought patterns.

By knowing how the smartest people act, we can adapt our behavior to be more like theirs– or, at least, take cues from that information– and be?more effective as a result.

And, just as a disclaimer, when I think of an intelligent person, I’m not referring to a Mensa member who does nothing with their life but claim a high IQ.

An intelligent person isn’t just someone with a high IQ, but also someone who also applies their knowledge in a smart way. In my opinion, intelligence is one part content (the mental capability) and four parts application.

Your comments....

They stay rational

Extremely intelligent people may or may not be spiritual, however, one thing is for certain: they attempt to live their life based on a sound rationale that marks everything they do.

They don’t believe something just because someone tells them to or because they read it online, nor do they believe something because someone charismatic is screaming it from a podium — they think for themselves and are very conscious of the power of influence.

They’re aware of balance and still make sacrifices …Extremely intelligent people are keenly aware of the fact that we only have so many hours in a day, days in a year, and years in our lifetime.

They’re aware that balance is important, however, they’re also aware of their own impermanence and finite resources, so they often intentionally break this sense of balance and make sacrifices for the sake of achieving their major goals.

Pick a leader who will keep jobs in your country by offering companies incentives to hire only within their borders, not one who allows corporations to outsource jobs for cheaper labor when there is a national employment crisis.

Choose a leader who will invest in building bridges, not walls. Books, not weapons.

Morality, not corruption.

?Intellectualism and wisdom, not ignorance.

Stability, not fear and terror.

Peace, not chaos.

Love, not hate.

Convergence, not segregation.

Tolerance, not discrimination.

Fairness, not hypocrisy.

Substance, not superficiality.

Character, not immaturity.

Transparency, not secrecy.

Justice, not lawlessness.

Environmental improvement and preservation, not destruction.

Truth, not lies.
