Think you are not smarter than others; are empathetic, have remarkable concentration, are aware of consequences of actions, talk to myself, always ask questions, prefer to be alone, LOVE art, eager to explore and learn. Hmmm...only 50%...maybe not that smart!
a. Being 'smart' is relative. b. All life on and from this Earth is going to die one day from something, will forget everything they ever knew and experienced, and will all be forgotten one day in future eternity as if they never ever existed at all in the first place. c. Life itself is ultimately meaningless in the grand scheme of things and life itself is a waste of space time in this universal existence, (at least life itself on and from this Earth). d. (Subject to revision as new information might dictate).
1.You think that you're lacking in intelligence. 2.You're creative 3.You have a sense of humour. 4.A first child is usually more intelligent than their siblings because the parents have concentrated their focus on making them ideal. 5.You daydream to make your reality more interesting. 6.You're empathetic. 7.You have better concentration than the average person. 8.You stay up late at night even though you understand the importance of quality sleep. 9.You are aware that your actions have consequences. 10.You talk to yourself as a way to give yourself clarity in the moment. 11.You ask lots of questions. 12.You have a vast vocabulary. 13.You prefer to be alone because socialising in excess takes your focus off your goals. 14.You love the arts, music,dancing etc. 15.You are open minded & consider other options. 16.You have the kind of attitude that wants to continue to learn throughout your entire life. 17.You put a lot of pressure on yourself because you feel that you're not at a high enough standard. 18.You can control your impulses because you know that if you react on a whim & do something just because you felt like it, you'll regret it later.
I stay up late. I was born, first, before my 2 brothers. I love music, (I'm learning to play my guitar), arts & ballet. I can concentrate well, I do crosswords. I have a vast vocabulary. I've made some of my daydreams, a reality. I'm a loner & rarely socialise. 😊👍
@@brb__bathroom You're not dumb Weegan & you would do best to push that kind of negative self talk out of your thinking & replace it with an attitude of "I feel like I'm dumb at the moment but I'm a work in progress & I'm willing to invest in myself to improve from here on". Just like any of us you have your strengths & weakness's. The brain & human spirit is a marvellous thing, with commitment & effort you can become smarter in area's that you originally felt that you were weak.
What are u doing here then Albert Ffing Einstein 😀 if others dont flatter or understand us we need to do it ourselves. trying to outsmart the smart people 😀 nice try , We eat guys like u for breakfast Being smart is knowing u know nothing
How about NO. Go take an I.Q. Test and post your results. I bet you are average at best. Never watch a RUclips video on I.Q. and think you meet the requirements to be smart. It’s a lie and clickbait.
This changing in times definitely turns people fucking stupid and undoubtedly just insane because they argue rights and freedoms when in fact! They don’t even know neither of these? Because Intelligence plays a huge factor in character development and they pass it down onto their children and further decline, why? Because obviously Reading and Learning goes out the Window after 25
Okay? Well I tell them straight off and explain maybe they should back the fuck off because they clearly! Do not know everyone and everything! They give up on the idea of Intelligence and Learning and Gathering Information about others
I’m definitely not advocating for Aggression or Assault or Abuse, this is how they see life because they were brainwashed by their parents and complete absurdity and ignorance
Good way to move on the topic, the more certain you are of your intelligence, virtue and such the less likely you are to possess these qualities. Problem with this video is the ego masturbation it offers, can thus be self defeating. (I of course am an exception, now entitled to be very proud of my humility./s)
@@bhatkat These virtues should produce observable results such as, for example, making public spaces safer, but yes, it can have opposite effects where people wear virtue as a mask in public as to disguise their grandiose/prideful complex.
I had the same experience as Dark Times. I doubted my intelligence for decades. As a lifelong learner, I eventually HAD to realize that my "out of the box" thinking was much more valid than the yahoos' thinking to which I deferred. (A side note: I seldom was able to use this "out of the box" thinking successfully in my personal life or regarding the people I love. I made many garbage decisions, drastically misjudged my family members, and made SO many errors of judgement, trust, etc.) However, with regards to other people, I can cut straight to the heart of their garbage thinking, and I point out their errors or the "truths" of the situations. Some people don't like it, but most come back to me for advice because they realize my advice is well thought out and mostly right.
So many of these factors help us to rise above circumstances. I'm the first born to a 15 year old girl and 16 year old boy. I was put into a foster care situation because my parents were considered immature to be raising a child. Both sets of grandparents were having marital difficulties and were incapable of helping. My parents ran off to Maryland to get married two years after my birth.. She was already pregnant. Pregnancies' loom large in my life. I have 7 siblings. I had to grow up on my own. My father was mentally ill and was committed to a psychiatric hospital a few times. I grew up in severe poverty. I learned to hustle for money, delivering groceries, helping clean out a cellar, running errands. I didn't associate with other kids, too busy. I spent my time at the laundromat and running errands for my mother. I did all the grocery shopping. I was considered a very intelligent child. I was selected for a special school program New York City had called the SPE program. Completing the whole program 7th grade through high school graduation guaranteed me a college placement with a scholarship. My personal life made it impossible to continue. I spent all but two weeks on the street because I was expelled from school in the 5th grade. Other parents complained about my situation and I was allowed to attend school but at a different elementary school. I was tested and put into the sixth grade. In my free time ( I had to escape early before my mother found things for me to do.) went to the library a few blocks away. I read anything that looked interesting as well as the newspapers. In school I was always cited for not paying attention. I didn't need to. I was usually chapters ahead of the rest of the class and wasn't really there. The structured educational environment bored me. At 13 we moved to South Florida. If ever there was a cultural wasteland that was it. I was lost because I couldn't go anywhere. The city transportation system was terrible plus I didn't have the money to pay for a bus ride. I got a job washing dishes in an Italian restaurant off and on. An Argentine political refugee running an illegal machine shop from his house two doors down hired me to run the lathes and clean up. He set up the machines and I did pretty well at it. He taught me trigonometry and other math needed to design the tools and set ups. He went back to Argentina after Peron was back in power. I then worked in a sheet metal shop running projects on punch presses. At 18 I talked an HR person at Ma Bell's shop to hire me if I could test high enough. I did and got the job. I quit after a year and went to New York City and worked on the World Trade Center site for Ma Bell there. I liked the work at Ma Bell's. It was interesting and I got to meet interesting people. Then I got drafted. I'd known a few people who'd spent two years as a grunt and left after two years with few marketable skills so I joined the Navy. I was sent to a public works department. In four years I learned skills necessary to run a maintenance shop. I also worked in the telephone exchange and the power plant. I met a girl. I had never been on a date and never had a girl friend. She was in college and visiting my supervisor's wife for Christmas break. I dropped her a note to thank her for spending the three days with me and she wrote back. We wrote every day from then on. In April I went on leave for my Uncle's wedding and took her as my guest. I proposed to her and she accepted. She graduated in September and we married two weeks later. To this day I really don't know what she saw in me. I was in the Navy, a high school dropout and came from a very dysfunctional family. She was the oldest child and the only girl in her family and a college graduate. We've been married almost 51 years. We have one son who graduated with honors with two Civil Engineering degrees. He's married and has two children. I was laid off two years after the AT&T break up. I started a business and retired after 32 years running it. She worked mostly part time splitting a full time position with a woman she'd graduated with that had moved to North Carolina and was living a block away. They alternated weeks and provided child care for each other. It was a great arrangement and satisfied their desire to work part time and saved money on child care expenses. We are both sensible about spending money and enjoy a peaceful life doing gardening and working around the house. We own rental properties and those are our pensions as well as Social Security. I'm still not a very sociable person and she is. She does what she wants with her friends me do what I want. I regret having to work so much. I used to play violin and was in the New York City schools orchestra. I was considered a talented player. My parent's decision to move to Florida took away a lot of the things I'd liked doing. Looking back I wonder why no one wondered why I was having so many problems at school. No one considered that my home life was a major disruption to my school life. I could have used some help. I managed to survive and become somewhat successful. I did and still do most of the things on the list. I confer with myself before making decisions. While everyone calls me Bob when I have these conversations with myself I call myself Robert. I don't know when I became "Bob". I don't sleep much, usually about 4 hours a night. I go up around 1-2 AM and am back up between 4-5 AM. I do my learning on my laptop. There's so much I don't know and I won't live long enough to learn it all.
@robertcuminale1212 My husband was a highly intelligent only child from a loving family. BUT, he did the same thing that you did, when it came to the military; he joined the US Navy! He was working (using his degree) in a lab in San Francisco when he got his draft notice (many decades ago). He had no desire to become cannon-fodder so he immediately went to the Naval recruiter. They considered his degree, tested him, and sent him to OCS at NAS Pensacola, where he also qualified as a Naval Aviator. It changed his life! This is a wonderful country IF you can get into a program, institution, educational facility, military installation or hired by a company that can give you the necessary training and solid structure which is necessary for young people to succeed. With 350+ million people, this is no place to "go it alone." Young people need direction and structure to succeed. It does not matter which one, just any group that can provide the direction that young people need to succeed.
On point #13 you very diplomatically stated the real reason why smarter than average people prefer to be alone very briefly at the end. The unvarnished truth is that smarter people find the banter of less smart people to be boring, annoying and even draining. Did I just say that to myself out loud, lol?
Yes, you did. And I'm glad that someone decided to share it. It's nice when you share suh things. I know people who drain me in a matter of minutes and it's very exhausting and this is why I keep ignorring them.
They are actively dumbing us down and fattening us up....anyone born in the 50s-70s can easily see this. We remember what it was like back then (we were FREE and nobody was obese). They are putting things in the food to make us fat and sick. They took away the good, mild amphetimines (appetite suppressants that WORKED) and gave us marijuana and Delta 8 instead (makes you dumb and gives you the MUNCHIES). Tyrants want dumbed down, weak peasants. They want the men to be like women.
Geez ! I’m not as dumb as I thought lol..also discernment plays a large part among all these attributes..the world needs more “smart” people to speak out and help this planet overcome the over abundance of stupidity 😱🙏🏻
Not going to happen. The stupid breed far more than the intelligent. However, in an increasingly technological and digitally connected world, leaders may be able to come together and enact eugenics and breeding policies that peacefully extinguish the dumb over a few generations.
I agree but tyrants don't like smart people. They want them only smart enough to go to work for their corporations and pay taxes and jump through their various orwellian slave hoops. They also don't like fit people. That's why they took away all the good, appetite destroying, energizing speed (Chinese ma huang ephedra and mild amphetemines such as the old Fastins by Glaxo Smith Kline). You could buy the ephedra over the counter just a couple decades ago and it was easy to get a doctor's prescription for the fastins. Good clean euphoric energy and zero appetite all day long when you needed to lose weight. They want everyone fat and dumbed down.
Don't take everything that this video says into account. There's always people who, when they see the video title, instantly try to relate as much as possible with everything to seem smart, even if it's just for a split second that they acted that way. However, this may be true.
I am the baby in the family. I have two older sisters and one older brother. I recognize all the other signs in myself. As a child I would entertain myself and was well known as a dreamer. I still do for that matter. I'm a musician and learn, write and play guitar a lot. In music school I learned that if you wanted to be a virtuoso on any instrument you would need to practice for 10,000 hours so I set out to do 20,000 hours and I believe I've done it. I also have strong math skills and a degree in electronics. I believe in God and know that the Lord is smarter than me. This grounds me and reminds me of how much I still need to learn. Keep the Faith...James.
@topjimmy526 It is well accepted (in the academic world) that G-d exists in the STEM classes, but is absent (and unaccepted) in the study of English and the Humanities.
There is another trait that was not mentioned: Tending to see 'simple' problems as more complex than everyone else. If you need more information to solve a problem with many possible solutions, then you are probably more intelligent because the average person only sees a few or only one obvious solution.
I would like to add that "smart" people often are rebels and will buck popular conventions, rules or processes. In the workplace, a smart employee may often appear to be the troublemaker, as they see rigid protocol as a barrier, that restricts their path to progress and improvement.
I am the last born but ...a loner,a journalist, artist, graphic designer and cartoonist, I believe I'm smart in many ways, as my classmates used to be surprised by the things I could do
There’s always something to learn 🧠 Yes I’m creative 💡 Yes I’m funny 🤪 I’m the oldest 🙂 Yes I daydream 🧚🏻 Well and basically everything else in this video applies to me!
Being happy is a state of being, granted to us by the Great Mother, and the benevolent playful being who made the dogs and cats and all manner of sentient beings from where all life springs eternal.
Smart persons generally have the ability to spot other smart persons. It took me past the age of 40 to realize that I was likely smarter then most. I subscribed the fact that I seemed to get better result in life, then others whith equal means, to fortuity.
If you didn't fall for the last 3 years and didn't comply with the nonsense, you are extremely intelligent. Congratulations, intelligent people think for themselves!
I like how everything was simply forgotten once the war in Ukraine took place. We should give Putin a Nobel Prize in medicine for getting rid of Covid worldwide.
You need to specify what nonsense you're referring to. Is it, for example, the restrictions imposed during the COVID epidemic, or denying COVID's existence?
All of these traits except for one I find in myself. I'm an avid reader and my television choices consist of History, Science, and Discovery channels. I'm a portrait artist and obsessed crafter. I was a singer in my twenties and traveled with a band. I've lived alone almost all my life. I'm a social justice warrior. My family is constantly saying that I always take up for the underdog, a trait they find dangerous. The one trait that I find myself lacking in is self control. I'm not sure why, but I have a tendency to give in to vices that are not at all smart.
While watching this video and seeing all of the signs mentioned I've been experiencing alot of them except for being alone it's nice to be with others at times so you don't get lonely
I have always said, despite common wisdom, that may people say, that 'They would rather be with their worse enemy than alone," I am the opposite of that. I think my worse enemy would try and do away with me, so I would resort to the training I received surviving my childhood, and as a cadet in a U.S. Service Academy, by preparing my defense and ultimately prevailing. I should say however, that I grew up in Bedford Stuyvesant Brooklyn in the 1970's and saw some of my friends not get out of that alive (Google that to see what I mean).
#13 I would add that indirect communication is even worse as I have to use my mental energy to try and figure out what you are saying instead of doing what I want to do.
If there is one thing on this list that I would disagree with the most, I would have to say it is the oldest child thing. The youngest child tends to have to figure things out on his or her own more often. I believe that this allows them to find a deeper understanding of things and teaches them to problem solve.
@thomascraig3533 The problem is that what YOU BELIEVE is irrelevant to the factual empirical numbers that have been assembled over decades. The "fact" that you disagree with "facts" would indicate a basic problem with your interpretation of intelligence.
Yes thank you. I never really could connect to others but on point wit jokes in uncomfortable situations or frustrating situations too calm everyone's state of mind. Love that now im not able to be more me unapologetically.. thank you
All of them. its funny and inspiring to listen someone talk out your weakness as strongholds. I believe to manifest more now that i have developed more trust in my instincts and impulses. Good content🤓🤓👏
I have always been fascinated by this subject for a number of reasons. For example, when you often feel different or misunderstood, it goes hand in hand with realizing relationships are a burden for you and you end up giving of yourself and getting so little in return or feeling drained in every way. It in fact isn't so far-fetched for someone to come to the conclusion that the reason they are misunderstood and feel like that so many people and their ideas, or interests are so disappointing is that it is because, they reflect the level of intellect of the people they come from. I simply want to point out that I think it is a stereotype that if someone thinks they are more intelligent than most people or that they rarely meet someone on their own level, that they are less intelligent or only average. Let's consider the idea that if someone has an IQ far above everyone else, they will certainly be aware of it.? That individual will also realize the futility in seeking validation in the opinions of others. I realized this after taking some IQ tests and coming to the conclusion that a team of people with an IQ of 160-180 isn't necessarily capable of creating a sufficient test to isolate and measure the intellect of someone whose IQ is 210. I also realized that you could be the most intelligent person on Earth and be so misunderstood that everyone literally thinks you are dumb, but does their opinion truly define you? Something else I realized was that people and computers are perhaps more similar than they realize. It is often said that when a computer is both faster and has a larger capacity to store or calculate data, and it never loses any of it or has an error in the process, that it is great. Humans are said to be a genius if they have a photographic memory. Humans are said to be a genius if they can solve or create complex puzzles for others to solve. Humans are also said to be genius if they can figure out everything faster than everyone else. I learned from playing chess for over a decade that the best players memorize hundreds or even 1000s of historic games between great players, key principles in the mechanics of certain types of positions and how to find and exploit weaknesses of their opponent's positions, without ever giving an opponent those same opportunities. The best of the best had an impeccable memory and could create or solve the most complex of problems, never before seen and they could do it at an amazing speed. What tended to separate them from one another was the quality of their programming/training. Just like a computer whose operating system is flawed, and people call junk, regardless of the hardware specifications; the principles taught to a human can limit their raw ability's fruit in their life. You could argue the absolutely most intelligent people avoid accepting what someone attempts to teach them as fact, but why, especially when we are young and impressionable, when many geniuses are discovered? At some point intuition apparently comes into play perhaps, regarding how the genius picks and chooses what to accept as fact, from amid the garbage heap of ideas they find around them. So, then the $64,000 dollar question is, from where do humans get ideas that no other person taught them? Some people will tell me I have my opinion on the subject, and I keep asking them, what if I am not wrong? It is my observation and opinion is that, less intelligent people spend more time enjoying how everything feels and truly intelligent people make a science and an art out of learning and by the time they have mastered the art, their struggle becomes trying to remember it all. You could make the argument that they were just smart enough to not waste their time and got right to enjoying their life, while on the contrary, you could argue that the more intelligent person put more effort into learning how to properly enjoy their life instead.
@UBME&IBU , I found all of your comments. Here is my reply. The question was, what if I am not wrong about where ideas come from, that no one ever had before. I didn't state it verbatim. It was implied. I am an apologetic speaker in advance because, I never prefer to have to apologize for what I say. The answer to the question, for me anyway is that all of the knowledge that ever could exist, did exist in advance of everything else existing that it was in regards to. Since nothing occurs in a vacuum, sometthing always existed, from whence everything else came, including knowledge. The details of the actual passing events is merely a formality, lost in the periphery of everything that could've ever happened or that will happen. As for people, many don't want to talk about something they know nothing about. In there minds, it shows how little they know and it makes them feel lesser than someone who knows more. IT is sad really that so many would rather know everything about nothing, so they can appear smart in the presence of others, in their own opinion. Lol. I wouldn't worry about those that ignore you or your ideas. They are doing you a favor really. I wouldn't want someone pretending to be interested in what I had to say, for some ulterior motive. Some people call it bad grammar, but I look at turning a word from one part of speech, into another part of speech as a colloquialism. Some people don't have much imagination. After all, what was ever so proper about English, if everyone always felt the need to change it through the centuries from ole, middle, modern, and slangily the entire time. The bible says a man will have few true friends. I find that ironic considering that most people will find that too true in their own lives, down at the end, especially from a book that most believe is hogwash. I certainly am in no hurry to go hang out with complete strangers or even my coworkers, and I actually like some of them reasonably well. Maybe i am anti-social and maybe that isn't an indictment of my character? Lol I have owned several dogs and they all clearly demonstrate that they are omnivorous, with a preference for meat above all else. So, sound does travel in waves through surrounding matter. The frequency at which it travels and also the pitch of the sound is denoted in hertz. The resonant frequency and the volume in decibels is what will determine whether or not a sound could move a penny or shatter glass. The energy in sound can be determined in a few different ways. One is it can be calculated in electrical energy. A calorie is the amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree. This can be calculated in electrical terms also. So, in a sense you could figure out how much energy is in a sound and how much weight it carries, but relating this back to quality, in reference to computer hardware and the OS on the machine, the weight of an idea is generally compelling when trying to see it from the perspective of quality over the energy of its volume. As for how you are inspired in your thought life or how you link your ideas, I wouldn't take it too personally if some people are a bit slower to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Some people clearly demonstrate an ability to see where the patterns are matching for two adjacent pieces, while others are two busy looking at life like it is a rerun of Jerry Springer. As for the ability of cells to be healed or put into their most lively state, certainly the chemical composition of food will do them more favors than pesticides or pharmaceuticals, but money and apathy alike are quite destructive. Do I think certain types of sounds, at certain volumes could possibly have a positive effect on living tissues? Absolutely, or when we hear certain things at certain volumes, we wouldn't feel pain or pleasure. Pain lets us know something is harming us. Pleasure lets us know that our body and spirit have a positive response. However, I think in this case, too much of something might be bad, even if it is generally good.
@@Susan-gc5mg , if I successfully made a good video, then where are the people to see it? If I post my thoughts at an established channel, they may have an audience. This is apart from having the ideal equipment to do so, the time it takes to record and edit, etc. I even question as I sit here, if I would need some special software to upload files that large to RUclips. Then there are my less than social tendencies to contend with. If I make a video, since I have little interest in addressing the world face to face, I have to come up with reference materials that are interesting and educational. It translates into a lot of work for someone who already works hard. I also don't want to neglect my family in the meantime. A 5-10 min post vs a day's long or weekend long process, it is a no-brainer for me.
Yes, I believe I’m smarter than average possibly because of growing up very poor and always striving to rise above the pitfalls. Now,at over age 85, I know I was successful in my life, even though I was was unable to finish a college education. I sincerely believe I’ve exceeded many who continued to get degrees. Mine was the school of “hard knocks” and allowed me to succeed in the business world even to managing a company of almost 1,000 people as Chairman of the Board after my husband died. And he had started that company with an 8th grade education! Formal education is not everything. Interesting observations in your RUclips!
Idk what I am... I feel like there's so much to learn from others around me, but I am not so well equipped myself. Making music, social skills, writing etc.
I probably would consider myself smarter than some people, yet there are times when I can do some of the dumbest things. Over all .. laugh through life, take it in stride and generally look at the bright side of things especially when one is having a difficult time. Many times things just work out in a different way than one expects them to.
Yeah I hear you there. Sometimes I do the dumbest things. However I do hit on most of these points. I just think outside the box. For example all advertising is totally stupid (who believes entities blowing their own horn?). My Great Granddaughter thinks I'm hilarious she says the things you come up with my peers just do NOT know wtf to make of you!
Wanting and desiring to learn and solve the puzzle of life or whatever you're facing in the moment is a sign of intelligence. Mania is a sign of intelligence.
I think you missed one that's always been very important to me: you recognize the intelligence someone has in general or in task-specific areas and you maximize your time with them so as to improve yourself in those areas.
I wanted to watch this because I have problems at school. One time somebody in class yelled out ‘(me) is too smart’ and I’m always called a know-it-all
Who told you that 100 is the average or median IQ? Only in 7 countries 100 is the average IQ of its population. US is not one of them. Average in US is only 97.
@@andersnielsen6044 Makes sense for America to lower expectations I guess. From what I heared in interviews over the years they been doing that witth school exams too ever since the 90s. Lowering the standards to make sure more people pass is not a good development I believe. Over here in the Netherlands 100 is the average IQ too.
I talk to myself all the time, but in many cases it's to criticism myself for not working harder or putting those contrary to these axioms in their proper place, "Guilt Ridden'. As I mentioned in a comment to an earlier response, I only regret the time I did not fight back hard enough - which I believe hampers my intellectual growth. My 19th sign is a willingness to fight for what is honorable and right.
Except for not being the oldest child I have all these chacteristics. This means I am smarter than most people. Before watching this I thought I was not very smart but now that I think I am smarter than most people and that proves that I was correct in the first place and I now know that I am not very smart. But now that I have come full circle and no longer think that I am smart that makes me smart. Rinse and repeat.
Also, smart people can rapidly apply a new idea to solve a long-standing problem. A smart person is one who adapts to a new situation or environment quickly. Smart people can solve complex real world problems with simple solutions.
I relieved a 139 the last three times I took those tests (shy by one point for achieving the genius designation) - all tree spread over 30 years. Now I know it's just a number, which I recently read that having that awareness affords a person another 25 to 30 points.
It's interesting that very few people are saying how many of the 18 applied to them. I got 14. One of them was totally out of my hands: 10:58 I'm not the oldest sibling. I wish there was a chart indicating how many answers means this or that???😊
This is not necessarily true for all intelligent people. I think it also depends on upbringing from ones Parents, and the environment they have been raised in.
When my son went to college, he discovered that we were really poor but he had an upper middle class upbringing. Me, having indulged anything he was interested in. Buying books, etc. I did that because I grew up poor and the only books I had access to was libraries. But if my class had to write a report on a subject, even those were hard to come by. I did not want my kids to have the same problem. We hit every library and used book stores, etc.
I love how most signs show that it is likely that you are above average not that you definitely are. Also I realized I am smart since I haven't had to use a textbook in half of my subjects. Although I might just be lazy.
Being the first born doesn't make you more intelligent. Being born somewhere in the middle forces you to work harder on being smarter because you are competing with your older siblings and as a result of that, you become more intelligent.
19, you feel that most people are stupid/ignorant. 20, you feel most of the time you don't fit in but you are actually happy about that. 21. You feel that most people are easily brainwashed.
interesting ❤ I see myself in most of the suggested traits. It strikes me that many apparently basic simple personalities are healthier than what the video can consider « smart ». If I have these traits and hence can be considered smart, I can also wonder whether being smart is not playing against one’s health state. Anyway, great video 😊
I missed the one for being the middle child. I am close to almost all displayed. I always thought I wasn't smart enough in my actions. I'm alone most of the time, conversing among myself. I love painting and playing guitar. I know there are more people more brilliant than I am in this scenario. I'm happy to think I'm average and waiting to learn more because of my curiosity and thrive on learning. I still believe I have an average intelligent person. My intelligence, while I'm amusing myself to consider that I'm horrible at math and my communication is off because no one can understand me. I have a sense of humor because I love to see people smile and laugh.
The first one baffled me. Intelligence isn't the same as knowledge. You can be extremely intelligent and not have much knowledge of a topic, and you can be well versed in a topic and be below average intelligence. Saying that if you think you know a lot about something equates with intelligence or non-intelligence.....well...it just doesn't. Both an intelligent and non-intelligent person can claim to know a lot about a topic and be completely correct. I think this video is absurd.
no, there is a level of intelligence beyond rote memorization and regurgitation. you require comprehension at deep level for every subject the deeper you delve into it.
The first one says that smart people are more aware of their mental limits, knowledge etc. Less smart people often think they go it all figured out. They have typically more difficulty learning more advanced concepts. Like thinking that depression can't be a real physical (brain) issue, that the depressed are just lazy. If you tell them it's science, they don't believe in science etc
@@donl3130 I guess what I meant was often intelligent people DO know they are smart. They've been tested, put in accelerated programs, etc. That has nothing to do with thinking they know everything. That is a completely separate thing. (If an intelligent person happens to know they are smart, it isn't a sign that they aren't) People in Mensa certainly know they are smart. Intelligence (IQ) indicates capacity for knowledge not a measurement of that knowledge. It would seem obvious that an very intelligent person would under estimate their intelligence and an unintelligent person would over estimate as they both strive to be somewhat 'normal' in the eyes of others.
You could have been watching it while consuming your second evening cocktail (as I did). Then you can provide some very interesting responses to comments (as I just did) 🙂
How many of these signs have you recognized in yourself?
Think you are not smarter than others; are empathetic, have remarkable concentration, are aware of consequences of actions, talk to myself, always ask questions, prefer to be alone, LOVE art, eager to explore and learn. Hmmm...only 50%...maybe not that smart!

a. Being 'smart' is relative.
b. All life on and from this Earth is going to die one day from something, will forget everything they ever knew and experienced, and will all be forgotten one day in future eternity as if they never ever existed at all in the first place.
c. Life itself is ultimately meaningless in the grand scheme of things and life itself is a waste of space time in this universal existence, (at least life itself on and from this Earth).
d. (Subject to revision as new information might dictate).

@@brb__bathroom You're not dumb Weegan & you would do best to push that kind of negative self talk out of your thinking & replace it with an attitude of "I feel like I'm dumb at the moment but I'm a work in progress & I'm willing to invest in myself to improve from here on". Just like any of us you have your strengths & weakness's. The brain & human spirit is a marvellous thing, with commitment & effort you can become smarter in area's that you originally felt that you were weak.
Sign that you're not as smart as you think: Watching videos for signs you are smarter than most people for some sort of validation.
Hahaha this showed up in my feed. I had to check ✔️
You're so funny 🤣
@sludgerat3715 heck no it doesn't. I like being validated once in a while. Especially someone I don't even know.
Here you are
I did not search for the vid, it appeard before me, and curiosity got the better of me
What are u doing here then Albert Ffing Einstein 😀 if others dont flatter or understand us we need to do it ourselves. trying to outsmart the smart people 😀
nice try , We eat guys like u for breakfast
Being smart is knowing u know nothing
I scored on 16 of 18. But it seems in this day and time, anyone with Common Sense is smarter than a LOT of people.
Lol, sure feels like that's the case.
How about NO. Go take an I.Q. Test and post your results. I bet you are average at best. Never watch a RUclips video on I.Q. and think you meet the requirements to be smart. It’s a lie and clickbait.
A lot of times I think I'm just cognizant and aware, i.e., awake. The rest of the world seems like it is sleepwalking most of the time.
Common sense is not as common as you might think it is.
Every one is dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb LALALA . Common sense is actully rare sense
It has its downsides, because they’ll look at you and still treat you like you’re insane
This changing in times definitely turns people fucking stupid and undoubtedly just insane because they argue rights and freedoms when in fact! They don’t even know neither of these? Because Intelligence plays a huge factor in character development and they pass it down onto their children and further decline, why? Because obviously Reading and Learning goes out the Window after 25
Okay? Well I tell them straight off and explain maybe they should back the fuck off because they clearly! Do not know everyone and everything! They give up on the idea of Intelligence and Learning and Gathering Information about others
Sheerly sad independent miserable sadness until they get hurt, or possibly die
I’m definitely not advocating for Aggression or Assault or Abuse, this is how they see life because they were brainwashed by their parents and complete absurdity and ignorance
I’m stuck where I am and nobody gives a shit and I’ll see myself just running away
Learning new things is smart, never to stop learning is intelligence.
Sharper people are also better at picking up accurate information from body language .
I doubted my intelligence for decades, and always deferred to others - until experience proved that others were unworthy of my deference.
Most of the time it's a hazard.
Good way to move on the topic, the more certain you are of your intelligence, virtue and such the less likely you are to possess these qualities. Problem with this video is the ego masturbation it offers, can thus be self defeating.
(I of course am an exception, now entitled to be very proud of my humility./s)
@@bhatkat These virtues should produce observable results such as, for example, making public spaces safer, but yes, it can have opposite effects where people wear virtue as a mask in public as to disguise their grandiose/prideful complex.
@@Andresseus AKA narcissists, which are everywhere.
I had the same experience as Dark Times. I doubted my intelligence for decades. As a lifelong learner, I eventually HAD to realize that my "out of the box" thinking was much more valid than the yahoos' thinking to which I deferred. (A side note: I seldom was able to use this "out of the box" thinking successfully in my personal life or regarding the people I love. I made many garbage decisions, drastically misjudged my family members, and made SO many errors of judgement, trust, etc.) However, with regards to other people, I can cut straight to the heart of their garbage thinking, and I point out their errors or the "truths" of the situations. Some people don't like it, but most come back to me for advice because they realize my advice is well thought out and mostly right.
So many of these factors help us to rise above circumstances.
I'm the first born to a 15 year old girl and 16 year old boy. I was put into a foster care situation because my parents were considered immature to be raising a child. Both sets of grandparents were having marital difficulties and were incapable of helping. My parents ran off to Maryland to get married two years after my birth.. She was already pregnant. Pregnancies' loom large in my life. I have 7 siblings. I had to grow up on my own.
My father was mentally ill and was committed to a psychiatric hospital a few times. I grew up in severe poverty. I learned to hustle for money, delivering groceries, helping clean out a cellar, running errands. I didn't associate with other kids, too busy. I spent my time at the laundromat and running errands for my mother. I did all the grocery shopping.
I was considered a very intelligent child. I was selected for a special school program New York City had called the SPE program. Completing the whole program 7th grade through high school graduation guaranteed me a college placement with a scholarship. My personal life made it impossible to continue. I spent all but two weeks on the street because I was expelled from school in the 5th grade. Other parents complained about my situation and I was allowed to attend school but at a different elementary school. I was tested and put into the sixth grade. In my free time ( I had to escape early before my mother found things for me to do.) went to the library a few blocks away. I read anything that looked interesting as well as the newspapers. In school I was always cited for not paying attention. I didn't need to. I was usually chapters ahead of the rest of the class and wasn't really there. The structured educational environment bored me.
At 13 we moved to South Florida. If ever there was a cultural wasteland that was it. I was lost because I couldn't go anywhere. The city transportation system was terrible plus I didn't have the money to pay for a bus ride. I got a job washing dishes in an Italian restaurant off and on. An Argentine political refugee running an illegal machine shop from his house two doors down hired me to run the lathes and clean up. He set up the machines and I did pretty well at it. He taught me trigonometry and other math needed to design the tools and set ups. He went back to Argentina after Peron was back in power. I then worked in a sheet metal shop running projects on punch presses. At 18 I talked an HR person at Ma Bell's shop to hire me if I could test high enough. I did and got the job. I quit after a year and went to New York City and worked on the World Trade Center site for Ma Bell there. I liked the work at Ma Bell's. It was interesting and I got to meet interesting people.
Then I got drafted. I'd known a few people who'd spent two years as a grunt and left after two years with few marketable skills so I joined the Navy. I was sent to a public works department. In four years I learned skills necessary to run a maintenance shop. I also worked in the telephone exchange and the power plant.
I met a girl. I had never been on a date and never had a girl friend. She was in college and visiting my supervisor's wife for Christmas break. I dropped her a note to thank her for spending the three days with me and she wrote back. We wrote every day from then on. In April I went on leave for my Uncle's wedding and took her as my guest. I proposed to her and she accepted. She graduated in September and we married two weeks later. To this day I really don't know what she saw in me. I was in the Navy, a high school dropout and came from a very dysfunctional family. She was the oldest child and the only girl in her family and a college graduate. We've been married almost 51 years. We have one son who graduated with honors with two Civil Engineering degrees. He's married and has two children.
I was laid off two years after the AT&T break up. I started a business and retired after 32 years running it. She worked mostly part time splitting a full time position with a woman she'd graduated with that had moved to North Carolina and was living a block away. They alternated weeks and provided child care for each other. It was a great arrangement and satisfied their desire to work part time and saved money on child care expenses. We are both sensible about spending money and enjoy a peaceful life doing gardening and working around the house. We own rental properties and those are our pensions as well as Social Security. I'm still not a very sociable person and she is. She does what she wants with her friends me do what I want.
I regret having to work so much. I used to play violin and was in the New York City schools orchestra. I was considered a talented player. My parent's decision to move to Florida took away a lot of the things I'd liked doing. Looking back I wonder why no one wondered why I was having so many problems at school. No one considered that my home life was a major disruption to my school life. I could have used some help. I managed to survive and become somewhat successful.
I did and still do most of the things on the list. I confer with myself before making decisions. While everyone calls me Bob when I have these conversations with myself I call myself Robert. I don't know when I became "Bob". I don't sleep much, usually about 4 hours a night. I go up around 1-2 AM and am back up between 4-5 AM. I do my learning on my laptop. There's so much I don't know and I won't live long enough to learn it all.
You are a survivor. Thanks for sharing!
I salute you for literally surviving any of this. I would die very quickly 🫡
@robertcuminale1212 My husband was a highly intelligent only child from a loving family. BUT, he did the same thing that you did, when it came to the military; he joined the US Navy!
He was working (using his degree) in a lab in San Francisco when he got his draft notice (many decades ago). He had no desire to become cannon-fodder so he immediately went to the Naval recruiter. They considered his degree, tested him, and sent him to OCS at NAS Pensacola, where he also qualified as a Naval Aviator. It changed his life!
This is a wonderful country IF you can get into a program, institution, educational facility, military installation or hired by a company that can give you the necessary training and solid structure which is necessary for young people to succeed. With 350+ million people, this is no place to "go it alone." Young people need direction and structure to succeed. It does not matter which one, just any group that can provide the direction that young people need to succeed.
On point #13 you very diplomatically stated the real reason why smarter than average people prefer to be alone very briefly at the end. The unvarnished truth is that smarter people find the banter of less smart people to be boring, annoying and even draining. Did I just say that to myself out loud, lol?
Yes, you did. And I'm glad that someone decided to share it. It's nice when you share suh things. I know people who drain me in a matter of minutes and it's very exhausting and this is why I keep ignorring them.
Love this! Thanks for saying this out loud! So true.
Speak clearly into the microphone. We need to shout it out. Intelligence is a gift, knowledge is an learned behavior! Toodles
I agree totally.

They are actively dumbing us down and fattening us up....anyone born in the 50s-70s can easily see this. We remember what it was like back then (we were FREE and nobody was obese). They are putting things in the food to make us fat and sick. They took away the good, mild amphetimines (appetite suppressants that WORKED) and gave us marijuana and Delta 8 instead (makes you dumb and gives you the MUNCHIES). Tyrants want dumbed down, weak peasants. They want the men to be like women.

Geez ! I’m not as dumb as I thought lol..also discernment plays a large part among all these attributes..the world needs more “smart” people to speak out and help this planet overcome the over abundance of stupidity 😱🙏🏻
Not going to happen. The stupid breed far more than the intelligent. However, in an increasingly technological and digitally connected world, leaders may be able to come together and enact eugenics and breeding policies that peacefully extinguish the dumb over a few generations.
I agree but tyrants don't like smart people. They want them only smart enough to go to work for their corporations and pay taxes and jump through their various orwellian slave hoops. They also don't like fit people. That's why they took away all the good, appetite destroying, energizing speed (Chinese ma huang ephedra and mild amphetemines such as the old Fastins by Glaxo Smith Kline). You could buy the ephedra over the counter just a couple decades ago and it was easy to get a doctor's prescription for the fastins. Good clean euphoric energy and zero appetite all day long when you needed to lose weight. They want everyone fat and dumbed down.
What is considered stupid to some may be considered creative to others.
@@rogerrowden7229 always a possibility
Don't take everything that this video says into account. There's always people who, when they see the video title, instantly try to relate as much as possible with everything to seem smart, even if it's just for a split second that they acted that way. However, this may be true.
True and very challenging to be above others, it sucks as you struggle to find your matches.
John Lennon once said, “They hate you if you are clever and they despise a fool.”
Talking to yourself is an excellent way of clarifying your thoughts.
I find these videos interesting. Also helps develop my social awareness.
I am the baby in the family. I have two older sisters and one older brother. I recognize all the other signs in myself. As a child I would entertain myself and was well known as a dreamer. I still do for that matter. I'm a musician and learn, write and play guitar a lot. In music school I learned that if you wanted to be a virtuoso on any instrument you would need to practice for 10,000 hours so I set out to do 20,000 hours and I believe I've done it. I also have strong math skills and a degree in electronics. I believe in God and know that the Lord is smarter than me. This grounds me and reminds me of how much I still need to learn. Keep the Faith...James.
Question, are you smart?

There is another trait that was not mentioned: Tending to see 'simple' problems as more complex than everyone else. If you need more information to solve a problem with many possible solutions, then you are probably more intelligent because the average person only sees a few or only one obvious solution.
All of them❤. Great assessment. Have a wonderful day
...resisting clicking at these kinds of videos and know your own worth without need for validation
I would like to add that "smart" people often are rebels and will buck popular conventions, rules or processes. In the workplace, a smart employee may often appear to be the troublemaker, as they see rigid protocol as a barrier, that restricts their path to progress and improvement.
So happy I found you. Love your channel. I really needed this today

Dammit I'm none of those things. I'm uniquely unique or I'm a dream, oh no stay asleep whoever you are I'm having fun!
My question, are you smart?
Being happy is a state of being, granted to us by the Great Mother, and the benevolent playful being who made the dogs and cats and all manner of sentient beings from where all life springs eternal.
Smart persons generally have the ability to spot other smart persons.
It took me past the age of 40 to realize that I was likely smarter then most.
I subscribed the fact that I seemed to get better result in life, then others whith equal means, to fortuity.
So basically humility reflects intelligence…

All of these traits except for one I find in myself. I'm an avid reader and my television choices consist of History, Science, and Discovery channels. I'm a portrait artist and obsessed crafter. I was a singer in my twenties and traveled with a band. I've lived alone almost all my life. I'm a social justice warrior. My family is constantly saying that I always take up for the underdog, a trait they find dangerous. The one trait that I find myself lacking in is self control. I'm not sure why, but I have a tendency to give in to vices that are not at all smart.
While watching this video and seeing all of the signs mentioned I've been experiencing alot of them except for being alone it's nice to be with others at times so you don't get lonely
alone = set apart . not of this world.. but in the Word ..
I have always said, despite common wisdom, that may people say, that 'They would rather be with their worse enemy than alone," I am the opposite of that. I think my worse enemy would try and do away with me, so I would resort to the training I received surviving my childhood, and as a cadet in a U.S. Service Academy, by preparing my defense and ultimately prevailing. I should say however, that I grew up in Bedford Stuyvesant Brooklyn in the 1970's and saw some of my friends not get out of that alive (Google that to see what I mean).
#13 I would add that indirect communication is even worse as I have to use my mental energy to try and figure out what you are saying instead of doing what I want to do.
18 on 18!.... Now, I can only hope this video portrays reality.
Congratulations 😊 I struggle with dealing with those who are the opposite of those attributes.
If there is one thing on this list that I would disagree with the most, I would have to say it is the oldest child thing. The youngest child tends to have to figure things out on his or her own more often. I believe that this allows them to find a deeper understanding of things and teaches them to problem solve.
I don't agree there. I'm the oldest and I definitely think a lot more outside the box than my 3 younger siblings. I mean they just do NOT think!
@thomascraig3533 The problem is that what YOU BELIEVE is irrelevant to the factual empirical numbers that have been assembled over decades.
The "fact" that you disagree with "facts" would indicate a basic problem with your interpretation of intelligence.
You know you're old when your personal growth ain't as important as avoiding your personal death.

I would counter that by saying, 'It is not important that I survive, as much as it is my descendants survive'

I have always been fascinated by this subject for a number of reasons. For example, when you often feel different or misunderstood, it goes hand in hand with realizing relationships are a burden for you and you end up giving of yourself and getting so little in return or feeling drained in every way. It in fact isn't so far-fetched for someone to come to the conclusion that the reason they are misunderstood and feel like that so many people and their ideas, or interests are so disappointing is that it is because, they reflect the level of intellect of the people they come from. I simply want to point out that I think it is a stereotype that if someone thinks they are more intelligent than most people or that they rarely meet someone on their own level, that they are less intelligent or only average. Let's consider the idea that if someone has an IQ far above everyone else, they will certainly be aware of it.? That individual will also realize the futility in seeking validation in the opinions of others. I realized this after taking some IQ tests and coming to the conclusion that a team of people with an IQ of 160-180 isn't necessarily capable of creating a sufficient test to isolate and measure the intellect of someone whose IQ is 210. I also realized that you could be the most intelligent person on Earth and be so misunderstood that everyone literally thinks you are dumb, but does their opinion truly define you?
Something else I realized was that people and computers are perhaps more similar than they realize. It is often said that when a computer is both faster and has a larger capacity to store or calculate data, and it never loses any of it or has an error in the process, that it is great. Humans are said to be a genius if they have a photographic memory. Humans are said to be a genius if they can solve or create complex puzzles for others to solve. Humans are also said to be genius if they can figure out everything faster than everyone else.
I learned from playing chess for over a decade that the best players memorize hundreds or even 1000s of historic games between great players, key principles in the mechanics of certain types of positions and how to find and exploit weaknesses of their opponent's positions, without ever giving an opponent those same opportunities. The best of the best had an impeccable memory and could create or solve the most complex of problems, never before seen and they could do it at an amazing speed. What tended to separate them from one another was the quality of their programming/training. Just like a computer whose operating system is flawed, and people call junk, regardless of the hardware specifications; the principles taught to a human can limit their raw ability's fruit in their life. You could argue the absolutely most intelligent people avoid accepting what someone attempts to teach them as fact, but why, especially when we are young and impressionable, when many geniuses are discovered? At some point intuition apparently comes into play perhaps, regarding how the genius picks and chooses what to accept as fact, from amid the garbage heap of ideas they find around them. So, then the $64,000 dollar question is, from where do humans get ideas that no other person taught them? Some people will tell me I have my opinion on the subject, and I keep asking them, what if I am not wrong?
It is my observation and opinion is that, less intelligent people spend more time enjoying how everything feels and truly intelligent people make a science and an art out of learning and by the time they have mastered the art, their struggle becomes trying to remember it all. You could make the argument that they were just smart enough to not waste their time and got right to enjoying their life, while on the contrary, you could argue that the more intelligent person put more effort into learning how to properly enjoy their life instead.
@UBME&IBU , Eisenhower was in a wheel chair, but from a stroke or heart attack. FDR was the one in the wheelchair with polio.
@UBME&IBU , I found all of your comments. Here is my reply.
The question was, what if I am not wrong about where ideas come from, that no one ever had before. I didn't state it verbatim. It was implied. I am an apologetic speaker in advance because, I never prefer to have to apologize for what I say. The answer to the question, for me anyway is that all of the knowledge that ever could exist, did exist in advance of everything else existing that it was in regards to. Since nothing occurs in a vacuum, sometthing always existed, from whence everything else came, including knowledge. The details of the actual passing events is merely a formality, lost in the periphery of everything that could've ever happened or that will happen.
As for people, many don't want to talk about something they know nothing about. In there minds, it shows how little they know and it makes them feel lesser than someone who knows more. IT is sad really that so many would rather know everything about nothing, so they can appear smart in the presence of others, in their own opinion. Lol. I wouldn't worry about those that ignore you or your ideas. They are doing you a favor really. I wouldn't want someone pretending to be interested in what I had to say, for some ulterior motive.
Some people call it bad grammar, but I look at turning a word from one part of speech, into another part of speech as a colloquialism. Some people don't have much imagination. After all, what was ever so proper about English, if everyone always felt the need to change it through the centuries from ole, middle, modern, and slangily the entire time.
The bible says a man will have few true friends. I find that ironic considering that most people will find that too true in their own lives, down at the end, especially from a book that most believe is hogwash. I certainly am in no hurry to go hang out with complete strangers or even my coworkers, and I actually like some of them reasonably well. Maybe i am anti-social and maybe that isn't an indictment of my character? Lol
I have owned several dogs and they all clearly demonstrate that they are omnivorous, with a preference for meat above all else.
So, sound does travel in waves through surrounding matter. The frequency at which it travels and also the pitch of the sound is denoted in hertz. The resonant frequency and the volume in decibels is what will determine whether or not a sound could move a penny or shatter glass. The energy in sound can be determined in a few different ways. One is it can be calculated in electrical energy. A calorie is the amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree. This can be calculated in electrical terms also. So, in a sense you could figure out how much energy is in a sound and how much weight it carries, but relating this back to quality, in reference to computer hardware and the OS on the machine, the weight of an idea is generally compelling when trying to see it from the perspective of quality over the energy of its volume.
As for how you are inspired in your thought life or how you link your ideas, I wouldn't take it too personally if some people are a bit slower to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Some people clearly demonstrate an ability to see where the patterns are matching for two adjacent pieces, while others are two busy looking at life like it is a rerun of Jerry Springer.
As for the ability of cells to be healed or put into their most lively state, certainly the chemical composition of food will do them more favors than pesticides or pharmaceuticals, but money and apathy alike are quite destructive. Do I think certain types of sounds, at certain volumes could possibly have a positive effect on living tissues? Absolutely, or when we hear certain things at certain volumes, we wouldn't feel pain or pleasure. Pain lets us know something is harming us. Pleasure lets us know that our body and spirit have a positive response. However, I think in this case, too much of something might be bad, even if it is generally good.
A lot to put in comment, should have just put it in a you tube video, if you were smart.
@@Susan-gc5mg , if I successfully made a good video, then where are the people to see it? If I post my thoughts at an established channel, they may have an audience. This is apart from having the ideal equipment to do so, the time it takes to record and edit, etc. I even question as I sit here, if I would need some special software to upload files that large to RUclips.
Then there are my less than social tendencies to contend with. If I make a video, since I have little interest in addressing the world face to face, I have to come up with reference materials that are interesting and educational. It translates into a lot of work for someone who already works hard. I also don't want to neglect my family in the meantime. A 5-10 min post vs a day's long or weekend long process, it is a no-brainer for me.
@UBME&IBU , you can boil water with sound waves. It could be used to kill cancer cells possibly.
All this video taught me is that I'm dumb as a rock. Lol
Hi i recognised that i have 16 signs out of your listed 18 signs
almost all, but some are refecing and new it was nice thank you for a good info never thourd of it like that. great job
Glad you liked it!
Yes, I believe I’m smarter than average possibly because of growing up very poor and always striving to rise above the pitfalls. Now,at over age 85, I know I was successful in my life, even though I was was unable to finish a college education. I sincerely believe I’ve exceeded many who continued to get degrees. Mine was the school of “hard knocks” and allowed me to succeed in the business world even to managing a company of almost 1,000 people as Chairman of the Board after my husband died. And he had started that company with an 8th grade education! Formal education is not everything. Interesting observations in your RUclips!
Well said! You sound awesome.
I attended the same school😂
Idk what I am... I feel like there's so much to learn from others around me, but I am not so well equipped myself. Making music, social skills, writing etc.
Are you depressed? Genuine question.
Only a couple of these things i dont have. The rest of them are me.
Amen. Dunning and Krugger would agree 😊
❤soulcomfy....peaceful, melloncholly and sentimentally energizing!!
Very reminiscent of Kristin Hersch n Tonya Donnelly, 90's style :)
I probably would consider myself smarter than some people, yet there are times when I can do some of the dumbest things. Over all .. laugh through life, take it in stride and generally look at the bright side of things especially when one is having a difficult time. Many times things just work out in a different way than one expects them to.
Yeah I hear you there. Sometimes I do the dumbest things. However I do hit on most of these points. I just think outside the box. For example all advertising is totally stupid (who believes entities blowing their own horn?). My Great Granddaughter thinks I'm hilarious she says the things you come up with my peers just do NOT know wtf to make of you!
“Because I have a little knowledge, some are filled with jealousy; others find me secretive and crazy”. -Medea, Euripides
number 14: you love art... what you are talking about is creativity. You can love art and go to museums or theaters too.
Wanting and desiring to learn and solve the puzzle of life or whatever you're facing in the moment is a sign of intelligence. Mania is a sign of intelligence.
Yes, I can relate to all of these!
I think you missed one that's always been very important to me: you recognize the intelligence someone has in general or in task-specific areas and you maximize your time with them so as to improve yourself in those areas.
I wanted to watch this because I have problems at school. One time somebody in class yelled out ‘(me) is too smart’ and I’m always called a know-it-all
One sign might be that you score above 100 in an IQ test.
Tongue of fire

Who told you that 100 is the average or median IQ? Only in 7 countries 100 is the average IQ of its population. US is not one of them. Average in US is only 97.
@@andersnielsen6044 Makes sense for America to lower expectations I guess. From what I heared in interviews over the years they been doing that witth school exams too ever since the 90s.
Lowering the standards to make sure more people pass is not a good development I believe.
Over here in the Netherlands 100 is the average IQ too.
@@andersnielsen6044 That's frightening. Mine was 140 in grade school. I'm a loner, people are not trustworthy.
"If someone gets angry at you and you don’t react in the same way, it means that you are smarter than them."
Excuse me? 🤣🤣🤣
Don't know if all that said in the video is true, but surely I recognize myself in almost all 18 signs. 🤔
👍 THUMBS UP 😎👍.
Thanks 👍
I relate to everything except talk to myself... and dance. mean, I even like dancing, but It's not to my strong suit. hahaha
I talk to myself all the time, but in many cases it's to criticism myself for not working harder or putting those contrary to these axioms in their proper place, "Guilt Ridden'. As I mentioned in a comment to an earlier response, I only regret the time I did not fight back hard enough - which I believe hampers my intellectual growth. My 19th sign is a willingness to fight for what is honorable and right.
Ok…first born : check! Daydream: check! Uuuuuuuu…well I got two…..am I a geneeass?!?!
Except for not being the oldest child I have all these chacteristics. This means I am smarter than most people. Before watching this I thought I was not very smart but now that I think I am smarter than most people and that proves that I was correct in the first place and I now know that I am not very smart. But now that I have come full circle and no longer think that I am smart that makes me smart. Rinse and repeat.
Hahaha so true 😂
Also, smart people can rapidly apply a new idea to solve a long-standing problem. A smart person is one who adapts to a new situation or environment quickly. Smart people can solve complex real world problems with simple solutions.
Does self awareness correlate with higher intelligence? Is there a reliable metric for awareness? What is the ratio between them, if any?
You are probably getting paid way more than you are really worth.
I've learned that if you are smart, you don't have to tell people you are, they will know. subbed.
People that are less intelligent than you(120iq>100)think that your ideas are insane.(Aristoteles the Ancient Greek philosopher)😅
I relieved a 139 the last three times I took those tests (shy by one point for achieving the genius designation) - all tree spread over 30 years. Now I know it's just a number, which I recently read that having that awareness affords a person another 25 to 30 points.
Many of these attributes describe me thank you for verifying that I'm not kookoo for cocoa puffs in reference to talking to myself alot lol.
My wife asks "what did you say?" I was talking to myself. Now how do I tell her that?
'Studies have shown...'
when you don't have source or you just made up the point
All , After 10 years this will be shown to everyone in the world 0:51 I'm 16 now !
It's interesting that very few people are saying how many of the 18 applied to them. I got 14. One of them was totally out of my hands: 10:58 I'm not the oldest sibling. I wish there was a chart indicating how many answers means this or that???😊
I got 17, impulse control is not the best.
I was expecting the masterworks ad when you said you love art :)
I said yes to all 18 and I'm still the dumbest person I know
I consider myself to be VERY intelligent.
That being said - everything I have ever done in my life turned out bad.
Wrong way Joe.
This is not necessarily true for all intelligent people. I think it also depends on upbringing from ones Parents, and the environment they have been raised in.
When my son went to college, he discovered that we were really poor but he had an upper middle class upbringing. Me, having indulged anything he was interested in. Buying books, etc. I did that because I grew up poor and the only books I had access to was libraries. But if my class had to write a report on a subject, even those were hard to come by. I did not want my kids to have the same problem. We hit every library and used book stores, etc.
Neither of my parents graduated High School, but they supported me in everything I was willing to work hard to achieve.
I love how most signs show that it is likely that you are above average not that you definitely are.
Also I realized I am smart since I haven't had to use a textbook in half of my subjects. Although I might just be lazy.
I honestly experience all of the signs
Then you’re smart 👍🏻😉
I used to think i was smart, until realizing I really didn't know anything.
I'm creative
Just making sure ....😊 ❤
🤗
Being the first born doesn't make you more intelligent. Being born somewhere in the middle forces you to work harder on being smarter because you are competing with your older siblings and as a result of that, you become more intelligent.
Hmm, got me! I could care less about personal gain and wealth. I, however, am into helping others deal with their issues whenever possible.
19, you feel that most people are stupid/ignorant.
20, you feel most of the time you don't fit in but you are actually happy about that.
21. You feel that most people are easily brainwashed.
Well said! 😊 Thank you for saying what I think, but what I don't want to say.
YOU NAILED IT!!!!
interesting ❤ I see myself in most of the suggested traits. It strikes me that many apparently basic simple personalities are healthier than what the video can consider « smart ». If I have these traits and hence can be considered smart, I can also wonder whether being smart is not playing against one’s health state. Anyway, great video 😊
Yes. Being smart is not easy, but being stupid is far harder. Being wise, however, helps one's health state, and many smart people are not yet wise.
I’ve known since age 5 that I was a genius and everyone telling me so only fueled that fire. Had to over prove myself then
I missed the one for being the middle child. I am close to almost all displayed. I always thought I wasn't smart enough in my actions. I'm alone most of the time, conversing among myself. I love painting and playing guitar. I know there are more people more brilliant than I am in this scenario. I'm happy to think I'm average and waiting to learn more because of my curiosity and thrive on learning. I still believe I have an average intelligent person. My intelligence, while I'm amusing myself to consider that I'm horrible at math and my communication is off because no one can understand me. I have a sense of humor because I love to see people smile and laugh.
Thank you I recognize all of these signs within myself
You're welcome
The first one baffled me. Intelligence isn't the same as knowledge. You can be extremely intelligent and not have much knowledge of a topic, and you can be well versed in a topic and be below average intelligence. Saying that if you think you know a lot about something equates with intelligence or non-intelligence.....well...it just doesn't. Both an intelligent and non-intelligent person can claim to know a lot about a topic and be completely correct. I think this video is absurd.
no, there is a level of intelligence beyond rote memorization and regurgitation. you require comprehension at deep level for every subject the deeper you delve into it.
@@samlah2319 Which pretty much supports what I said......
@@l.5832 ops, then I mean yes, :😜
The first one says that smart people are more aware of their mental limits, knowledge etc.
Less smart people often think they go it all figured out.
They have typically more difficulty learning more advanced concepts. Like thinking that depression can't be a real physical (brain) issue, that the depressed are just lazy.
If you tell them it's science, they don't believe in science etc
@@donl3130 I guess what I meant was often intelligent people DO know they are smart. They've been tested, put in accelerated programs, etc. That has nothing to do with thinking they know everything. That is a completely separate thing. (If an intelligent person happens to know they are smart, it isn't a sign that they aren't) People in Mensa certainly know they are smart. Intelligence (IQ) indicates capacity for knowledge not a measurement of that knowledge. It would seem obvious that an very intelligent person would under estimate their intelligence and an unintelligent person would over estimate as they both strive to be somewhat 'normal' in the eyes of others.
Funny, watching this at 3AM working on a dedicative project with a solid amount of sleep ahead
You could have been watching it while consuming your second evening cocktail (as I did). Then you can provide some very interesting responses to comments (as I just did) 🙂
I'm smarter than the 81million people who voted for Joe Biden....
Correction! = Day dreaming makes aperson's self esteem a lot more aweful / feeling rutted, and much more failers made by such person!
You're right, these videos are dead boring.
I don't know about all that but you made it clear with things I could approve on to make things better ❤
#1 You never watch a video where the title invites you onto a pedestal ;-)
