Life is such an interesting place where you see people with different behaviours and genetic makeup. You get to come across introverts and extroverts and some other people in-between these personality types. Besides individual attributes and traits, another fascinating thing is how we were wired. How you and I think and view life as a whole.

Some people are naturally sound. Put them in a difficult situation and you will still find them thriving meanwhile someone else gets a pinch of difficulty and totally gives up on life.

Your attribute or so-called personality have been proved medically to be traced down to the genome gotten from parents. On the other hand, experiences, family training, backgrounds, exposures, the books you read, circumstances, the people you move with, education and other life issues have shaped you directly or indirectly into one interesting being that you are.

May I bring to your notice that there are some attributes you see in people that makes you know this particular person will go over and beyond to succeed. You might have been seeing these in yourself too, only that you don’t give your total attention to it.

The following attributes show you how much of a special individual you are. If you possess 80% of these attributes, I must say you are a rare gem amongst stones.

If this is you, you are sound. Whether people tell you or not, just know it and fall in love with yourself over and over again.

Yes! Are you ready to know the 25 traits of extraordinarily intelligent people?

Let’s start…

1. YOU ARE A DEEP THINKER
Some people may think you struggle with loneliness or you are so shy that you hardly relate with a lot of people but deep down, you know they are wrong. You just enjoy taking your thoughts to a brand-new level. While alone you try to give an explanation as to why A and B lead to C or why A didn’t work out. Sometimes, you look into the sky and try to figure out why some stars are lined up to form a fascinating shape or why the clouds have certain shapes. The nerves in your brain spark creatively. �

2. YOU FIND THINGS AMUSING
You love to see things in all wholeness and notice the tiny and obscure details around situations. Second thoughts and careful scrutiny make your mind see beautiful details. You just have a fascinating way of making sense from any senseless situation. You can use a completely plain situation to create humour. If you find this attribute in you, you’re intelligent.

3. YOU ALWAYS FIND ALTERNATIVES
You love asking yourself salient questions like what can I do if this is no longer available. Life to you means planning ahead and finding options to reduce the occurrence of things catching up with you unawares. You imagine possibilities and prepare for change even in the most insignificant specifics of your life. This is mainly because you don’t like sudden disappointments that leave you helpless.

4. YOU CHERISH YOUR TIME
You love to discover new things about yourself which gives you an inclination to books. When you get to discover something new during your “me time”, you smile widely but feel terribly unhappy when you make mistakes or get things wrong. You sometimes take a quick scan into the way you spent your day and sometimes feel bad that you didn’t accomplish much on a particular day. When your phone rings too frequently, you likely frown at it or silence it for a while. � .

5. YOU ARE TEACHABLE

You believe you are like a plant needing soil, water and sunshine to grow. No wonder you always look forward to learning from people and situations around you. Even when you have an idea of a solution, you pocket your idea and listen to what another person has to offer which may likely give a solid base to your anecdotal clue. You don’t jump forward to show what you know, you listen first and use your thoughts as an addendum to any new thing you have learnt from others. If this is you, I doff my hat for you.

6. YOU TRY TO FIND A BALANCE
You try as much as possible to have a successful life which extends to academics, business, skill, family, games, competition and other things you lay your hands on. Even when you don’t top the list, you always find your way around the top ten in anything you do. You give the best shot in your marriage and career. You quickly find a solution when things are going awry or search for advice from experienced and professional people that have gone ahead of you. This makes you so intelligent!

7. YOU VALUE PEOPLE
You see people as a lifetime investment. When you discover a circle of people with similar values with yours, you try to maintain them. When you have a misunderstanding with genuine friends, you take time to say your thoughts with love. You treat people generally with courtesy whether you know them or not. Your words can give hope to confused minds. You have an amazing way of handling pressure and stress without transferring the aggression to others. If this attribute is yours, you definitely will go far in life. When I mean far, I mean without limits. �

8. YOU DON’T GIVE UP EASILY
Yes, you have come to terms with the fact that some failures lead to success. You quickly give yourself hope in hopeless situations. You understand that failure is not the end of life and believe that it’s not too late to try again. Your life speaks encouragement to a lot of people because of your tireless and dogged spirit. Most times, you don’t see reasons not to try something even when someone else attempted it but failed. You have a high sense of pushing on in tough situations.

9. YOU HARDLY FOLLOW THE CROWD
Whether it’s the cloth you want to choose for a party or a suggestion you need to make in a board meeting, you try to choose and say something different. It’s not pride, you just see common things as boring and lifeless. You could give a little tweak here and there to something already existing and make it look brand new like it never existed. If this is you, I am giving five loud claps right now. � .

10. YOU MANAGE RESOURCES
This could be in your wardrobe, kitchen or household items. Wastage makes you feel awkward especially if that thing could be useful in another way. Your house sometimes looks like a store of conversions and re-inventions. Even when you can afford another one, it takes you time to stop using something you really love. It’s just you and that makes you feel good. If this is you, you have great potentials.
