If being messy or unorganized is a sign of high intelligence... then I'm a freaking genius !
Me too 😅😂🎉
Apparently, wearing a red tie is intelligent according to this vid. I beg to differ 😂
Dont let dumb people determined Whats true or not there always wrong in a way like this youtober
Me too
GOD is the smartest person I know and His about super cleanness and organization. Maybe messy room geniuses is a temporary thing for genius humans.... there's no one on earth that want to live messy all the time. 1 time I walked in one guy's house and I'm not kidding lol.. I almost felt on my face.. his clothes were all over the place, animal poop everywhere, heavy smell like weed and cat poop and cigarettes and his watching tv with his wife like its a relaxing day after work lol.. I never went there ever again... bad for my health. When you cleaning your house.. you feel like depression left, your mind feels so good... it's a blessing. I understand when you working on something and its a temporary mess... its fine but it can't be longer than a day or 2... otherwise things getting rotten, it damages your health and those around you, your lungs getting damaged.. its not smart.
I often talk to myself, its the only way I can get an intelligent conversation
I'm over 70 and I agree.
There is one whom is eternally smarter than you will ever be, which you can only access through prayer.

@@tompchromedome That's because you haven't tried it. You knock what you don't know.
“Staring into space may be a productive and illuminating experience” - I like this one 💙 I wish more people would understand!
Seems most people don't understand what it's like to have complex thoughts. And to be able to learn multiple things and put multiple facts together and ...well never mind. If you have to explain, the listener will still not understand anyway :( life sucks.
💯👍🏾
I am realizing that I am one of those who stare into space. My wife alway asks me why I do this. And I tell her I do not know. Yes, I like cool showers. 😊
Yes, but people don't understand what is happening to us, we literally create whole worlds and scenarios in our minds, to play out what we thing might happen, or what we'd like to happen. I've often found myself totally unable to remember a few moments before because I'm so invested in the simulation in my mind's eye.
Because of this I struggled in education, but still won awards in things that I 'lived' at that time.
I get into things so deep it almost tears reality away from me (Lucid dreaming...I'm talking to you!!)
I think it was Thurber (could be wrong, though ...) said to the effect that his problem was convincing his wife he was working when he was staring into space ...
Highly intelligent people would most likely never have enough patience to sit through this entire video. The last thing they want is to have their 'odd-ness' validated or explained.
Hi, Tim. Good to know that it's not just me who thought that. Typing this comment after watching half of the video 😂.
@@pjm57 Because they're not smart enough to think of that, mate 😂. Have a great day, buddy 👍.
Very well said..
If you don't have a patience to know what you don't know, you are not genious you are just wondering around this world.
i think you are thinking intellect comes with wisdom. i feel those are learned in entirely different ways.

In other words, scatterbrained, but exciting!!

Cold water bathing is very invigorating to the body, has health benefits too.. it's all about getting use to it. 😊
"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

I like staring into space---it helps me to think about my next task to do and I see it as a form of introspection. Out of all of those things mentioned, I learn to balance them.
it`s great👌
@Дм Го Sometimes I talk to myself when ideas come up. I try not to say it too loud--I did that several times and got caught. My mother asked me "Eric who you talking to?" I said "Myself" She said "You need help"
When you stare into space ppl will think you’re catatonic
@@radioog6945 In 6th grade my teacher yelled at me and said "Eric, do your work and stop staring into space!!" But as I stated in my comment I do it to be introspective.
@@ericgreen2195
Just say that you are taking with the most intelligent person that you know.
I can carry on a good conversation with myself.
Get into arguments all the time, sometimes I win & sometimes I lose, that’s irritating.
In particular, the talking to yourself one stood out most to me. People have made fun of me it for nearly 30 years. Also, your brain never turning off is a big one. This is one of the reasons why having conversations with yourself and constantly listening to music, videos, or reading is very common.
Supposedly people who normally talk to themselves are less likely to go insane from isolation
I always set my goal higher than I am able to obtain, because it keeps me from becoming complacent.
The freezing shower part is more of a mindset/discipline thing
Good for you though 👍👍
@@richardward2469Very good for the body and soul. 👍
Smart people are born curious and nurtured to be curious and intelligent, they are nurtured to really know why things happen, and are nurtured to be knowledgeable
Sad to say fits me like a glove. My life has been a constant struggle.
It's not easy being intelligent.
It can be lonely too.
@@JaneNewAuthor yes, it can be difficult. Finding people that are on the same wavelength is not easy. It's good and bad in a way. One side of the coin is being able to shut someone down with logic, knowledge or forethought. The other side is potentially shutting off that person from being part of your life. It's a toss up.
But being alone doesn't mean you have to be lonely =)
Fun fact: Several psychologists have theorized that Albert Einstein may have been on the autism spectrum because he was known to have exhibited several habits and behaviors that align with common behaviors seen in people on the spectrum, but this would have never been diagnosed because autism wasn't recognized as a thing when Einstein was alive.
He was also thought to have ADHD by many because of his wild imagination and creativity.
I have read that sometimes he would stop people on the street and ask where he lived,and a few times he didnt notice a manhole cover was off and fell right inside.
I do all of these, but I'm a screw up addict. I was certified stupid due to dyslexia in school. Except I enjoy lifting, and cycle. I enjoy writing.
He was as queer as they come Deluded
"never been diagnosed" "when Einstein was alive"
Having a disability doesn't make it "less worse" when Einstein has the same disability even when he obviously doesn't.
I can relate to these except I would NEVER EVER take a cold shower in the morning.
Same..
Cold showers are the devils work 😂
I'm not even a morning person much less that BS 🙄🤣 .

Intelligent people are not the same. They still people and has their own personalities and habits and so on
Exactly
One common trait that I've always found in the very intelligent individuals I've been fortunate to work with over the decades is that they have all been socially inept. It is as if the large portion of the human brain required to manage socializing and interacting with other human beings has been repurposed for other uses in people with high intelligence. Some of the most brilliant of these have ended up in very mundane careers due in part to their inability to function normally in society.
Very true, I have a college degree but struggle in social situations.
@@pt87153 a college degree doesn't mean you are very smart
@@Slothface lol, trolls will be trolls
Thank you. That explains lot...
Its because they get bored with dumb people and find socialising pointless
Thank you so much! I think the smartest individuals are the most strange people.
My day dreaming staring into space got me in trouble in school when I was young
oh my god😆
I had a clip round ears for doing that!
@@davidinger961 lol
I've always believed intelligence embraces multiple facets. One individual could be book smart whereas, another could be crafty in the power of words; for example reading the room. I've been offered multiple positions in which I was out of my league; however my intuition is sharp. For instance knowing what to say, how to say it and when to say it. I can promote myself very well, and I was not the typical A, B student and I'm horrible at tests for I always over analyzed questions and answers.
Yet as an adult, the over analyzation made me super focus on job interviews, business meetings and advocating for others.
I always to try to share this with others especially teens and young adults, who may feel down, especially if their grades do not fully represent the measure of their intelligence.
@@wingit7335 Thank you.😃No problem.
I've never thought the definition of book smart is smart at all, it's just memorization. They don't actually understand any of it most of the time. But I definitely agree there are different types of intelligence for sure.
@@ellebelle6439 That's a really great point!🎯
@@ellebelle6439 I`ve read there are 9 types of intelligence. The 10th may be how to multitask them.
I can agree with all of these except the cold showers. I prefer as hot as I can get and when I get out I feel nice and cold.
"Of course I talk to myself... sometimes I need expert advice" quote by Edward Henheffer
Thank goodness that there have been those among us throughout history who engaged in "mindless" creativity (endeavors that are not practical or useful according to others' ideas of what is practical and useful). Otherwise we'd have no great art, music, literature, philosophy and more to engage our spirits and make life about more than fixing the machines that are broken and earning a buck.
In south india most of the people take cold shower even winter seasons
If you're staring for hours,it doesn't mean you're intelligent. It's a mental problem. Staring for hours is far from normal.
Highly intelligent people have better things to do than watch the make you feel good videos like this.
Very interesting! I have a very over active mind that is constantly thinking of problems. The video mentioned slow progress towards goals. That is accurate. I’m not really disorganized, but I do think of every scenario for each problem. Late at night, I’ll sit and think until several hours pass, realizing it’s now 5:00 in the morning. I’ve always craved knowledge. Finding purpose and meaning in everything I do is highly important. And contributing to society is my focus behind many decisions. How can we make the world a better place? As a child, I became fascinated by many things and read every day. I played the piano, fell in love with Shakespeare at the age of nine, wrote my first short story at eight, received several writing awards throughout school, and had nearly fifty math and science books when I was twelve. My goal was to become an Astrophysicist. I wanted to be the next Einstein and receive recognition for a theory or accomplishment. Growing up, I had all these crazy ideas and goals, to most people, sounded ridiculous and impractical.
I didn’t like school, but I loved learning. And I felt I never fit in and people never understood me. As I got older, I read many self help books, including the book, LIMITLESS. I continue with daily rituals that incorporate daily affirmations, writing, and meditation while sipping a cup of coffee. I majored in English and Creative Writing and Applied Mathematics, with a minor in Psychology.
How old r u now brother ? And whta do u do ?
I would love to have a conversation with you (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
I identify with this so much. Addicted to books since I was a small child.
I can tie my own shoelaces and wave bye-bye ... we all have our achievements.
AND our weaknesses, mine own is coffee and my Spouse's smile. (Being a wee bit cynical sometimes, is that a plus or a minus?)
You have a Low Latent Inhibition buddy, I am in the bad end of LLI I am constantly going through scenarios basically instantaneously through my mind, ie: if I am in a room of a group of people I am unsure of my mind automatically starts piecing together the room, Where's the quickest exit from where I am situated, where is the closest weapon if needed? How many of these ppl in the room could be a threat if something kicks off?, all this plus more instantly passes through my mind just from entering a room full of people I don't know
Oddly, a lot of these habits can be associated with really dumb people. Some very intelligent people tend to be very organised, do not waste their time on meaningless tasks etc. I agree with some points here but some of them are way off
Exactly 😂
Agreed
I concur.
This is because both intelligent people and dumb people know that they know very little so you're always trying to piece things together or distract themselves
Yeah but smart people put time into “meaningless” tasks and learn something that other people cba learning cause they think its “meaningless”. Nothing is meaningless, wether you learn some shit or not.
Letting go is easy if the person gets on your nerves.
*Habit of oddly intelligent people*
Watching *High Living* , of course ❤️🚀🌙
I have two comments for this brilliant video, one serious and one light hearted:
- Highly intelligent people are inclined to form unhealthy habits. It is good to be aware that. If we see ourselves forming unhealthy habits, we should do our best to turn things around as soon as possible!☝☝☝
- Highly intelligent people should get laid more often! 😁😁😁
Amen
Amen
Could not agree more !!
I have all these 12 habits but the problem is my grade is below average 👌
Your grade is below average because your teachers do not realize that nobody has a God nerve - a nerve capable of remembering what happened so long ago it can be used as a subject of an exam question.
Grades are an indicator of how well you fit into the school system. They're not an indicator of intelligence.
i will be in tears talking about life passion and living a fuffilling life and achieving financial freedom and all this stuff. my old highschool friends just dont carry my passion, theyre still smoking weed and drinking :Ci want nothing more than to bring them with me on my journey but i cant.... and it breaks my heart but i realize that this is I GROW, i need new friends, friends to aspire to be like.
I like this video, it highlights both strength as well as weaknesses that need to be taken into account with with intelligence.
I like that ! Thanks for keeping it 💯 real
Great tips! Personal Development is one of the best things you can do for yourself - because, we as human beings, we’re supposed to embrace growth!
So make sure you find your Purpose in life - whatever it might be, and work on it daily, and continue to make progress, because progress is - really the key to happiness.
But don’t do it for any girl or guy, make sure you’re doing it for yourself - and just be happy!
Anyway, that’s my two cents.

This just sounds like my ADHD... and my ADHD leads me to be perform poorly on a day to day basis.
I was thinking the same, except for the cold showers. Then I remembered my hot water's been broken because my ADHD is doing all the other 11 things. But back to the point, I'd agree in saying these aren't habits of intelligent people. If they are, they've probably got ADHD.
@@amante2443 Most ADHD symptoms are manageable if you are an intelligent person. Indeed, your main problem is doing activities that are not dopaminergic enough so you can focus on them. The solution is just to make the activities you want to do dopaminergic. How? Just be motivated. How to be motivated? By knowing exactly what you want in life. How do you know what you want in life? Well, this is a philosophical question, therefore if you are highly intelligent, you should be able figure it out. Done.
I must be neat and orderly because it became a habit instilled in me by my military career.
I am ex-military. While I"m not always the most organized, there are days I very much have to re-organize my living space.
My work space has to be organized or I can't function.
Lima Charlie! I still roll my shit, pocket my buttons and check my gig line...
I understand. I must be neat and orderly because it became a habit instilled in me by my grandmother, who raised me.
It’s a habit that has served me well.
And we watch videos like these at 2X speed.
Not easy to control but while talking to my self make me calm 😂
Oh my gosh, this hits on all cylinders!😂
What you all should understand is that intelligence does not necessarily have to do with success.
Many intelligent people aren't successful.
Success comes with commitment, dedication and patience.
Strongly relate to all things (exept the cold showers), but I have to say that these are because of my ADD.
Same. adhd, depression, perfectionism, anxiety, and procrastination.
thanks for sharing. one of the best videos I have watched today. thumbs up
I have always considered myself highly intelligent but I failed miserably based on this list🤣. I use my intelligence to devise practical ways to deal w life and I'm well-organized so most of these things don't apply to me. Well, I stare into space when I am planning a project and involve myself in lively debates for the same reason that was mentioned in the video. I also treasure my alone time bc that is the opportunity for me to learn whatever my heart desires.
Hmm...maybe, I'm just arrogant. Haha.
Damn and I just thought I was lazy 🤣🤣🤣
cold showers induce hypothermia symptoms. hypothermic people aren’t known for their quick thinking skills.. epiphanies are more likely under hot water.
My husband is #6. He debates everything. I get so frustrated listening to his pros and cons. Just when I think I am getting on the same page, he switches to the opposite.
Reminder: Creativity/intelligence is learnable, you do not have to be born with it!! These characteristics do not define an intelligent person.
Other intelligent characteristics: good memory, very organized, good language, highly sociable (socially intelligent), emotionally/self-aware, exc.
If you are very good at anything then you have the intelligence of that thing and you have the *ability* to be good at other things.
Everything here is correct. Only thing is the showers. I only do that in the summer. Winter and spring it's impossible.
No one knows what this comment was about
You and me both!!!👍😆

I'm not going to take a cold shower no matter how smart it will make me.
“Staring into space may be a productive and illuminating experience”. My teachers and bosses never thought so.
I often talk to myself. I call them my personal TED talks.
I have a well above average IQ, 142 points, and I absolutely hate cold showers. The vast majority of the rest of the habits listed I have many of though.
success is literally the only difference between perseverance and insanity. don't be too hard on yourself. keep goals attainable, but don't make the mistake of listening to the lesser-minds.
This was EXTREMELY helpful. Thank you!
@@wingit7335 It made me feel smart for a while because I do some of these things. Doesn't necessarily mean that I'm smart, but it was kind of fascinating
@@wingit7335 Hey thanks for saying that. You're probably just as smart, because you asked an intelligent question. Sometimes that's rare.
Cold showers absolutely not. However, I remember from my days of surfing when young and that jolt from the cold pacific ocean.
That’s the freaky thing about the west coast. Was in frisco in July and had to wear a light jacket a few times. Of course I now live in the Midwest and found out what cold is lol
You don't understand why intelligent people do the things that they do. For example, a dirty bedroom. The reason is that the abstract world is far more interesting than the trivial world. You see a dirty bedroom, but I am asking myself (for example) what are the long term effects of quantitative easing on the global economy, or why hunter gatherer families share the children equally between father and mother. I don't think smart people are only interested in what they can't have, they just realize that anything can be solved with a bit of thought... You say can't, I say can. Intelligent people fail in an idiotic way because they know that they will solve the puzzle in the end. They DON'T stubbornly do the same thing. There will be subtle flexibility in their obstinacy.
Yes yes, messy doesn't hurt anything, its just a waste of time keeping things clean and uncluttered, there are more important things to contemplate. Plus I know where everything is already. Its more challenging to just keep track of where you keep everything.
as a phd student i can confirm this. I would rather spend a whole day finding x than learning to fix a car.
Shoo! I have em all!! I daydream a lot, imagine the unimaginable, not organized at all but when I stare into space, I don't think or daydream...in fact, I don't think at all...my mind is entirely blank when I stare into space and nothing runs through...and I talk to myself always, share myself the ideas while I'm bathing, I just murmur and my family thinks it's weird
How Could I not comment on this video ? This video was like going to therapy for many years In 4 minutes. Thanks for making the video because now I think I can Finally make It!
This is one huge generalizing presentation, you have shown complete disregard for individuality and strength of character.
Most of these traits are applicable to unintelligent people as well.
Have always "talked to myself", doesn't everyone? And stare into space, isn't that daydreaming?

This is definitely me. I knew I was intelligent. It's amazing how I fit every single one. It's a blessing and a curse. Pursuit of knowledge is everything to me. Even to my own detriment. I always ask why. Constantly. And people reply why do you want to know that? Because I wanna know, that's why! That's what separates me or people like me from others.

Most of this is called LLI ( Low Latent Inhibition) which i suffer from an has lead to extreme anxiety an mental health trust me an overload of information in the brain needs constant ventilation, creating multiple scenarios instantaneously is overwhelming 😢
