Wrong assessment.
I've been in different classes right from primary school to university level and I've discovered that the top students ask the least questions. Most of them go unnoticed.

Fairview1:


Your opinion is noble and I like the way you objectively put your comment, most especially the last line.

Fairview1:


How then do you make research if you don't ask questions? I think research comes from seeking to know what's not obvious to you by asking questions, either through Google or questionnaire?

Fairview1:


I love this. How long have you been teaching?

Fairview1:
Intelligent people are naturally curious people. They ask you questions upon questions.

When you answer, they ask you more. When you start using big words, they ask for clarification. When they can’t understand anything you’re saying, they ask for you to explain it to them as if they were a five-year-old.

When you say something intriguing, they write it down in their notebook or phone.
These people are not naturally more intelligent. They’re better learners which makes them more intelligent.

Why do they learn better? They’re genuinely curious and ask questions from a humble standpoint. I’ve met billionaires who’ve said, “explain it to me as if I were a five-year-old.”

This simple phrase has changed my life when it comes to learning. As soon as you stop asking questions, you stop learning. As soon as you stop writing down ideas, you forget them.

The hardest part of becoming intelligent is not bullshitting yourself about what you know; it’s being humble enough to ask questions. If you can do this, then people will see you as intelligent, too.

Let's hear from you, how do you personally identify intelligent people when you see them?

Intelligent once rarely ask questions, they would like to ask, but upon realising that they understand it, they refuse.

They only ask you to tie you with your words in arguments.

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.

This your fiancee, how long has she been in the profession? Intelligent people don't get intelligent overnight. It takes years of practice, asking questions and sometimes the questions might appear foolish but the answerer have to understand what the student knows and understand why he/she is asking such questions before concluding it's a foolish question. I'm saying this due to my many years of experience as a teacher.

For example: the Bible says God created the world in six days and on the seventh day God rested.

The students question: Who was there to confirm that God built the world in six days

Teacher: That is a foolish question. You are trying to cause confusion when there is none

Conclusion: Who is foolish among the two? The teacher or the student?

fman:

I said empirical researches.
And findings.
Not necessarily questions

Revolva:


na so billionaire de easy to count..stop using that word ok...just say multi millionaire

Jajasabali:
How do you measure intelligence
Or smartness

solofresh:
Honestly have been asking this questions and I have got no answer on it.lf nobody was there to confirm that God created the earth in six days?
Then how do we come up with that?
It simply means the Bible is somewhat frictional and not true

jaxxy:
Not just learners bt fast learners

Bruno3000:
Nice write up.
In addition, intelligent people are men of few words. They don't just talk for talking sake, think b4 making each statement and the effects they would create on their listeners.
Intelligent people are people who display humility and are ever willing to learn from anyone; they rarely show off.
Intelligent people are flexible in nature. They possess and display adaptation skills whenever and wherever necessary.
