12 Undeniable Signs of Real Intelligence

9 You have a very keen sense of humor

Another fascinating study at the University of New Mexico observed 400 students who took tests to see how well they could talk about certain things. After the students passed the tests, they were asked to write captions for cartoon pictures. Estimators from outside the company looked at these titles. It looked like 86% of the more intelligent students who got the most points on the test chose funny captions for the pictures.

Later, the same research was done on comedians, who all did better than average on the verbal intelligence test. Scientists say that humor makes you smarter, keeps your brain and nervous system healthy, and is one of the most common signs of real intelligence.

According to a statistical study conducted by American scientists, people who live in pedestrian-oriented cities exhibit signs of real intelligence more than those who live in cities where transportation is mainly used. When people looked into the pedestrian areas of big cities, they found the same things.

11 You are aware of how much you still don’t know

The Dunning-Kruger effect is the result of a study by Justin Kruger and David Dunning that has become a classic in the field of social psychology. They concluded that the smarter someone is, the more he doubts himself. In other words, smart people aren’t afraid to say, “I don’t know.” They can learn something new if they don’t know something. If you always have questions and aren’t afraid to ask them, you are probably smarter than many others.

12 You worry a lot, even about little things

In one study, scientists asked 126 elementary school students to fill out questionnaires about how often they worry about something, hear rumors, or think about things that make them sad.

It seemed like kids who worried more than others did better on the next test that didn’t involve words. Scientists think it has to do with the fact that people who worry a lot tend to do better work.
