being very intelligent also have it's downhill. but am not suggesting that it could be that bad.

it's just that the percentage of highly intelligent people to the average in our society, can be likened to the odd difference between a match between Kano pillars vs Real Madrid......... don't mind me o, i just can't seem to think of anything better.

Here are 17 signs that highly intelligent people can relate to.

They have few friends: They might have lot of acquaintances, but they are careful to choose friends who are at their level of intelligence.

They hate small talk: They prefer deep and thoughtful conversations instead of talking about the weather or the last trend.

They are good listeners and observers: They know they have more to learn in listening than in speaking. So they shut their mouth and open wide their eyes and ears.

They are curious: They google everything, ask any questions, search every subject.

They enjoy loneliness: They sit by themselves to practice their craft, to reflect about themselves, their values and their objectives.

They invest on themselves: They know their mind is their most valuable tool. Thus, instead of chasing money, fame or whatever, they go on improving themselves.

They are long-term oriented: They delay immediate pleasure for later gratification; they take hard decisions that would pay off in the long run.

They don’t mind people’s opinion: They have goals and a mission of life and stick to it no matter what people think.

They are risk takers: They know a fulfilling life is beyond their comfort zone. So they are willing to take necessary steps to fulfill their dreams.

They are not judgmental: They put themselves on others’ shoes, and try to understand people’s motives behind their actions.

They are humble: They know however skilled they are, however learned they are, they will be laymen in many other areas.

They work hard: They know talent is not enough. So they work every day to be the better version of themselves. They take nothing for granted.

They take care of their health: They know their health is their most important asset. They eat properly, exercise regularly, sleep well and relax.

They don’t waste time: They don’t waste time watching TV, browsing social media. Instead, they use their time for more useful activities such as exercising, reading, searching…

They are voracious readers: They know all the wisdom of the world and all the knowledge of mankind had been recorded in books. Then, they immerse themselves in books to learn and apply what they learned.

They are lifelong learners: They know learning is a life long process that does not stop at school or college. They travel the world, meet new people, learn new languages, and embrace novel experiences.

They have a sense of humor: They don’t take life too seriously. They laugh at themselves and make people around laugh.

There you go, Do you agree?

Cc: Lalasticlala,

I can only relate to a few of those; does that mean I am dumb?

I sincerely hope I'm not

No

True

Your School of thought.

But someone can possess all these and still be the worst brain.

you dont necessarily have to possess all the qualities. a good number of them is an indicator.

remember, they are just signs and not fact

it seems we are caught in the same end of the rope mate.
but i soon came to realize that most times, after thinking through every possible scenario, i usually go with the one that pose less risk.

and guess what. those risks and obstacles conjured by my imagination usually never happens.
