The debate between emotional quotient and intelligent quotient has been going on for decades. While scientists believe that EQ is extremely important, IQ is if course a lot more important in the real world. Also it's much easier to measure IQ than EQ. But the quest to identify truly intelligent minds can now end.
A scientific website had concluded that the tell-tale signs of intelligent people can now be identified with some signs. Only truly intelligent people can pass this test. Read on
Did you start identifying alphabets at an earlier stage than your friends? Have your parents told you how you've always tried to understand words as an infant. Science says this is a sign that you are terribly intelligent and sharp. People with the smartest minds start learning at a faster rate than their friends and start identifying colours, shapes, letters and numbers as a kindergartener.

Are you an older sibling? Scientists at Edinburgh University have found out via research that older siblings or first-borns have higher IQs than their younger siblings. Not only are they more intelligent but are also more intuitive, but also a lot more focused. But this doesn't work as a general rule as there are inventors and scientists who are not the older sibling and yet have done remarkably well for themselves, but it's a widely observed case.

It has been proved time and again that affinity to stay alone proves that you have a keener sense of perception. Scientists Norman Li and Satoshi Kanazawa conducted a research study which shows that intelligent people often tend to avoid mingling or group activities and love spending time alone. So, if you prefer staying home on weekends rather than partying or if you need a few minutes to yourself everyday, it’s actually a good sign.

Did you know a Norwegian study found out that the people with longer ring fingers, which is the third finger, in the left hand, are generally fast learners and problem fixers? In fact, there IQs can be higher too. A few months ago, a Cambridge university study concluded the same, that if a person’s ring finger is longer than the index finger, which is the first finger, that person (in most cases, at least) is financially better off and more tech savvy.

Did you know that it has been proved by several studies that smarter people, especially those with a keen sense of perception can be more afflicted by self doubt and anxiety. Several scientists have claimed over the years that people who are more intellectually sound tend to overanalyze their past and the problems of the past, and think about ways of not repeating them. This obviously tends to give any person a case of anxiety and the person also questions his improvement. Thus, if you notice, people with higher IQs are also the ones who are more prone to stress.
