Mrlloyd:

People of few words are wise. Intelligent people don’t really care about peoples interpretation of their lifestyle so they usually talk a lot to be honest.
How would it feel when all your mates already assume you should be quiet and boring simply because you’re intelligent, most times it pushes the intelligent person to do the opposite and have fun with it.

There are so many kinds of intelligence , Not one.
e.g . some people are very good at reading people and interacting with people whilst others have intelligence that shines in abstract or solitary activity e.g in a laboratory.
Ever met an "intelligent" person who cannot clean his flat or manage his finances?
You say you have met Billionaires . Se you dey whine us ni?

Anyway being a billionaire is not necessarily about intelligence but common sense. They are not the same thing.
So citing a billionaire as intelligent is wrong. Billionaires generally have more drive ,determination, focus and goal with aruthless mindset often.
Many "intelligent" people do not have common sense.
The ability to do the right thing at the right time or not to procrastinate is reflective of personality traits that are more important than "intelligence" and such people often end up having more intelligent people working for them
Native Wisdom over "intelligence" any day.

Many thing in life are simple and straightforward e.g go to bed early, wake up early , do not smoke , do not drink do not have sex with strangers without a condom , control your temper, mind how you talk etc but somehow many "intelligent" people never learn them and sometimes seem to be on a path of self destruction.
Finally the attribute of cunning is something many intelligent people never master .

No human can predict the future.One's ability to pay attention to details and reason beyond the ordinary(rationally) makes one intelligent,it's not acquired through education,it's genetically transfered.that's why you see some medical doctors smoking cigarrete even when they know it's dangerous.

Top 3 does not mean more intelligent . If a person has zero interest in the school curriculum that does not make them unintelligent. Many intelligent people drop out of school because school is not for them

Thinking is more important than learning.
Your ideas about school and intelligence show that you are not thinking at all
Factors like discipline , focus and work ethic can make you top 3 in class whereas as people get older you observe that everyone is intelligent but people have different things that interest them and schoolwork is not the only arena

Even Comedy takes a lot of intelligence as does ,song writing , Event planning, etc. Many people who are good at learning other people's ideas and passing exams often are very poor at coming up with original ideas of their own.
Figuring out how to make and produce garri with no sand is a better sign of intelligence than memorizing the names of all the states and their capitals.
Genuine intelligence should solve personal or social problems e.g creating an App

Odidigboigbo:
Intelligent people don't have time for fun and people's opinion about them. That is why you hardly see them in social gatherings. The only thing they focus on is how to achieve their aims and Pursue it with all zeal and dedication, anything that is not tending towards achieving their aims is distraction. In any educative gathering you find them, they always like to seat at the front but the non intelligent people always like back seat to enable them have fun

Druss:

This must be a Nigerian mentality which explains a fair amount.

Odidigboigbo:
use your school days as a a case study? The top three in your class, hardly have a social life nor talk much but rather, always with their books researching while the average students or poor students party round discussing all manners of things while the class is going on.
Intelligence people don't try to belong but always focus to achieve their aims and objectives. That is why in school, you really see them in social gatherings

shibanbo:


Not all,some intelligent people still talk alot,much talk is a different game all together.

simplyleo:

My friend doing his nysc in kuje, leodeking,is very far from the discourse here

Odidigboigbo:
See how you are shooting yourself up and down. If intelligence has to do with thinking, has does someone that talks much has time to think? Check the life some great men and see if they have time for fun. They talk less, they are men of few words, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Dangote, etc are men of few words.

They are not Obidense.

aribisala0:
I do not have any response to this because it is totally tangential to what you quoted. I do not see your point.
We are discussing intelligence here NOT "greatness" and I do not know what you mean by greatness
Bill Gates is not a man of few words .He has opinions on so many things and is not shy to share them
Steve Jobs was not a man of few words either whatever the case that is not relevant to what you quoted

aribisala0:
You need to open a dictionary to check "predict" . It can simply mean an estimate or projection. It does not have to be accurate.

You do not need to be reason "beyond the ordinary" to be intelligent. Ordinary reasoning is enough

AmongUs:

This is not about class room settings, the more you know the more you realise you don't know anything, so at any opportunity you would want to ask more questions but is that the end of it? No, you go home and make more research.

You don't just sit down and listen like an idiot and been afraid that asking questions would make you look like a dumb ass.

Miracood2:
I strongly disagree with this assertion.

If you are a teacher, you'll understand that it's not everybody that asks a lot of questions is intelligent.

Some ask questions, stupid questions in fact just to cause confusion where there is non.

My fiancee who happens to be a teacher told me this.

Benwallt:
They vomited the questions I guess

StonedLex:

Intelligent people rarely show off lol

aribisala0:
I know you didn't get any overnight otherwise you won't be this irritable. Sorry
I am in a good mood now..........
Do not give room for atresia

Bravo, you have my respect for this single act. I cherish ladies who are highly determined to live by their values. What 8s yours will come your way. But keep the secret with you.

Mrlloyd:

It’s normal for Engineers to rank civil engineering at the lowest spot, we see it as the easiest and most random Engineering option. I mean, no specialty and uniqueness in Civil Engineering

Odidigboigbo:
That is one out of 50. MOST intelligent people are men of few words. Intelligence is abilities to easily grasp and understand things.

Mrlloyd:

Lol you can predict the future, you doubting this is an indication of your level of intelligence.

coputa:
Intellect does'nt show in your facial looks or your behavioural pattern.it shows in your what you do(creativity).A learner that gives back to his teacher word to word of what he has been taught is not an intelligent learner.This is the reason why nigeria graduates are not creative.

Ninisun:




I should applaud you for recommending suicide? You must be joking, your heart is ugly. Go and wash plates.

Odidigboigbo:
Simple questions, how does a talkative and fun sealing man have time to think, if intelligence has more to do with thinking as you have agreed?
