- Are you truly intelligent? Intelligence is a coveted thing, and we’re encouraged to “fake it til we make it” with things. But some things in life can’t be faked and real intelligence is one of them.
Here is a short list of the subtle signs of genuine intelligence. See if you can identify these traits in yourself.
We also made another video on the signs you're smarter than most people: • 6 Signs You Are Smarte...

I have none of these traits for instance, the closest thing I have to wit is blurting out relevant statements at surprisingly comedic times
Tysm
sarcasm is easy to fake, but the rest are not.
The sad thing is, certain traumas and other factors can damage someone so much that some of the signs won't appear for them until they can overcome it.
Exactly what I was thinking too
Childhood traumas make it harder for the stong self identity; through healing the trauma, one undercovers the identity that has been there all along (screaming to be free!). It can take decades, as it did for me. I'm still in the healing & identifying my true self; journals help. This is just my experience, strength & hope.
Yes. I have BPD and highly struggle with self identity often
This is so sadly true. If you notice this in someone, small kind words of encouragement and reminders or pointing out things about them that makes them happy (their true self) will go so far. It's a lonely world and it's hard to hear but love is loud 💜
But the intelligence comes through in other ways, it's still there and it shows regardless of life circumstances. In fact, I have C-PTSD and it has been repeatedly frustrating that my intelligence is still noticeable at first glance and people immediately think I'm a well composed person that can cope with anything and don't need help.... it sucks (and I'm particularly referring to GP's and mental health professionals). I don't know what their prefabricated mental image of a broken person looks like, but I certainly don't fit in that picture, even though I'm totally broken. I had to therefore adapt the way in which I present myself to those professionals by focusing on the delivery of the message rather than the clarity of the message itself. Bunch of nitwits.
Interesting as always, but I can totally see how trauma can block or hinder some of these traits
Tell me abt it. I faced it through and through. All of my issues bubbled up in grad school. And my phd was ravaged with mental disturbances and existential crises and what not. But what i am grateful for is that, I now understand who I am much clearly. And my love for science will never die.
Mhm, went through it and damn
exactly what I was thinking, I'm curious to know who they tested, mental illnesses/traumas' wise
very true. i used to be very curious being young, but if i asked about something to someone, they would scold me that i talk too much. this has affected my social life and my curiosity because im always scared that ill disappoint them or make them feel that im weird.
That’s exactly what I was thinking throughout this video. I felt that I could possibly relate more to some of these traits if it weren’t for my extremely low-levels of self esteem due to trauma I have faced. Interesting that you noticed that too
Seems like the key to being intelligent is, simply put: being self aware, humble, and witty.
and in perfect mental health, apparently
@kialuvsyoo there's that too of course 🙄
SO IN CONCLUSION :-
"Knowing who you are and continuously learning, while still being a positive force to those around you is the best, truest way to be intelligent."
yes i agree!
Yes!
Well it's not like bad people can't be intelligent.
@@lypros892 yes they are but they use it for their own benefits over the loss of thousands.
This about being GOOD person, who also likes to learn, not being Smart per se.
This is the most ASMR channel that's not an ASMR channel I've ever came across lol. The narrator's voice is so soothing to listen to.
Definitely. There are some other channels for mental health I cannot watch because of the voice. This channel is so soothing.
We're all gonna get tingles 😄
Lol couldn’t have said it better. I love her voice 💛
True
I have a crush on her and I don't even know how she looks and I don't care. Simply because of the voice.
It's lovely to see that we could actually feed intelligence by nourishing traits. Nourish curiosity, self-worth, a sense of personality, freedom to think and do outside the box, etc...
I think part of the point is that the unintelligent are very unlikely to do these things.
@@vorpal22 I don't think that's the point of the video, although it's partially true.
I think the point of the video is that faking these traits is very obvious, and my point is that you can nourish the traits.... although they might be unlikely to work on this, doesn't mean they can't, but maybe they won't or will think it doesn't work. But I've known the people that notice firsthand improvements and start slowly progressing towards unlocking this potential.. and it really is weird how it transforms some people. They start looking like a new human with a lot of authenticity... almost looking like a genius or a prodigy in their own craft, in their own way. But oh damn it takes discipline and of course, it only gets harder, not many endure.
@@thehumanpractice2985 Part 2:
We work around this well because I find it very refreshing that I need to be completely open, honest, and direct with him about how I'm feeling: he needs to be explicitly told in a very straightforward way, as he is completely incapable to simply infer it.
For example with regards to social boundaries, I was shocked to learn that he did not have the realization in the workplace that it is inappropriate to knock on someone's door and disturb them if they have someone else in their office and the door is closed, and I needed to tell him that unless it was an emergency, he should probably go back to his office and send them an email or other message to indicate to them that he needed to talk to them when they were available, or check back with them later.
On the other hand, I am a severe introvert (not because I am shy or lack confidence... I just simply prefer to be alone most of the time and enjoy my own thoughts) and, if you couldn't tell from the fact that I able unable to be concise, have untreated ADHD, and I can understand and pick up on the feelings of others with relative ease, but frankly, at the risk of sounding cold, unless it is someone close to me or that I am involved with professionally, I tend not to care that much. It isn't my responsibility to make people I don't know well feel better, and while I do sometimes still do that, to do so consistently, I would find it very draining.
There is also a huge cultural element to EQ and social cues: I've known some people that I would say are extremely intelligent who just "drop by" my house without calling or otherwise indicating that they will do so, and anyone who knows me and has a shred of EQ should be able to tell how uncomfortable that makes me, not to mention that I've generally made it clear on social media that they read.
I had a friend who was I would consider to be highly intelligent who did this so often despite me asking her to call first that finally, it got to the point where one day when she came over unexpectedly, I deliberately took about two minutes to answer the door and then said to her, "Sorry for the delay, but I was in the middle of having sex." (It was a lie, but boy, did she feel uncomfortable, and that solved the problem.)
I've also known some people who have incredible EQ, but are otherwise clearly not very intelligent. Another very close friend of mine that I've known for 30 years is the most sweet and empathic person I know, and can pick up on the feelings of others with ease and is incredibly supportive and caring, but no matter how hard she has tried (and she has tried hard), she struggles with very basic intellectual concepts.
Personally, while I consider EQ to be an important trait in and of itself, I don't consider it to be a component of or indicator of intelligence, and frankly - in general - I find the points made in this video to be rather weak and vague and poorly explained or quantified and qualified. This desire we currently have to make everyone "feel good" and refine the definitions of words to be more inclusive is just silly. For example, I am shockingly physically uncoordinated to the point where I often accidentally end up mildly hurting myself, and I am terrible at most sports, but I don't need to be made to feel better about this: I simply accept it and move on, and likewise, I think it is important to differentiate between intelligence and empathy. Intelligence is not always an emotionally pleasant trait to have: it can make life very difficult at times (e.g. having to deal with feeling impostor syndrome, and also seeing Dunning-Kruger play out around you, which is a double whammy when you're intelligent, because not only do you realize how much you don't know, but you have to put up with people who are so blatantly uninformed thinking that they are experts in subjects where they are clearly idiots).
I've watched a few videos here after a friend directed me to a depression video which made heavy use of characters of my favourite video game, OMORI, and I think they are generally poorly made and water down and muddy psychological concepts (and I am certainly not an expert in psychology).
Intelligence has traditionally been considered the ability to learn (especially when it comes to math and language), analyze, and piece together existing knowledge in order to derive new information, and these are things that are tested on in most traditional indicators of intelligence, e.g. IQ tests, the SAT, the GRE, etc. (And yes, I understand the value of these are limited because there are cultural elements to them, but I don't think we need to measure and categorize people based on their intelligence.)
One more example: renowned mathematician Paul Erdős seems to have had little EQ based on what I have read and heard about him, but he was undeniably brilliant and one of the people who has made the most contributions to mathematics. His ability to make connections between seemingly completely separate areas of math has seldom been historically paralleled, and the human race is very lucky to have had him as a member.
6. I have terrible insomnia and I do take power naps and prefer to space my sleeping out rather than sleep a long period overnight, and I think this does help with my mental agility. (Fortunately, I work from home and at a job where I am largely able to be independent, so with the exception of the occasional meeting, I can take a nap as needed almost any time.) I don't, however, think that power naps are any indicator of intelligence: they may be something that help people be more mentally agile and productive, but to draw any conclusion between power napping and intelligence is something I see as ridiculous and yet one of example of the reasons why I am being so critical of this channel. The fact that the TV show the Mentalist was brought up here - at least to me - supports my notion that this channel is just watered down pop-psychology made accessible but not in an appropriately rigorous fashion to actually teach much that is factual.
Erdős took amphetamines regularly so he could be higher functioning, and almost certainly did not power nap. As the famous story is told from Wikipedia:
'[Colleague] Ron Graham bet him $500 that he could not stop taking [amphetamines] for a month. Erdős won the bet, but complained that it impacted his performance: "You've showed me I'm not an addict. But I didn't get any work done. I'd get up in the morning and stare at a blank piece of paper. I'd have no ideas, just like an ordinary person. You've set mathematics back a month."'
A little narcissistic, but probably true. (Incidentally, he lived to be 83, so clearly amphetamines did not have a significant deleterious effect on his health. That being said, I nor almost anyone else would suggest that people start taking amphetamines to be able to better access their intelligence, although it probably actually would help. The reward probably doesn't outweigh the risk.)
7. No argument with high creativity levels. They are certainly linked with intelligence.
tl;dr: I just think that it is important to differentiate between different skills, like intelligence, empathy, and physical prowess, and this channel seems like watered-down pop-psychology to me masquerading as being informative. There are much better TH-cam channels if you are genuinely interested in psychology, kind of like how Numberphile explains recreational and formal math in a way that is accessible to most people without watering it down, and how Vsauce explains many intellectual concepts similarly.
Once I asked myself "am I intelligent"
After extensive research and practice IQ tests(didn't have the gut to take a real one)
Sort of got stressed,woke up one morning and forgot the whole idea.
Point being some questions don't have answers that are worth losing your sanity over.
Just try to seek knowledge and collect valuable skills,you'll be set for life.
Btw I think intelligence is over rated. Its potential that ought to be exploited though we all have it to different degrees.
Wisdom however is precious. It comes from experience and looking at life from other peoples point of view(empathy). It comes from making efforts to actually implement and teaching your knowledge.
That is what we all should be striving towards.
With the exceptions of a few edge cases, most people are intelligent to accomplished most realistic goals in life with reasonable effort, time and constructive feedback.
The world without intelligence would be as empty as the one without empathy.
@@gmryabets you do not miss what you were never aware of. So it wouldnt be empty, you just, wouldnt be aware of the lack of both if it never existed.
"The true intelligence isn't simply a test result"
I wish schools and the overachieving world knew this more
me too... this whole test, exams, quizzes thing is so dumb and it gives false value to the student and the student's parents :(
A lot of progress is being made here, but there’s still a long way to go
Actually, modern IQ tests have become a lot more reliable than they used to be. (Stephen Hawking was not a psychometrician.)
I do not exactly disagree with your assertion!!
@@tuele4302 Maybe, but IQ tests only measure one _kind_ of intelligence: logical/mathematical intelligence.
"Intelligence is the ability to take in information from the world and to find patterns in that information that allow you to organize your perceptions and understand the external world." - Brian Greene

@@GetYourLifeBetter thank you☺️
I never comment, but I feel I have to make an exception. This video made me cry (in a good way). I’ve been made to feel very dumb/worthless by some very arrogant/hurt people, so this is how I saw myself. It took this video (plus a whole lot of therapy) to realize that maybe I’m not so dumb/worthless after all. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Do you know what projection is? Any label someone puts on you in a situation of disagreement is self-referential. Even the craziest ones, like a woman calling a man a misogynist. So if they called you a fool, it is still possible that you are, but so are they
People who act smart arent usually very smart it’s simply an act. Don’t let others perceptions of you bleed into your perception of yourself.
@@yungbruhmane8751 ah finally someone use the word perception
I swear this channel keeps making me aware of my bad habits and the other's while also making me feel more intelligent and capable despite my newly diagnosed ADHD
The strong self identity resonates. No need to worry about being valued by a society that values all the wrong things.
What a stupid thing to say.
Good quote- ima write that in my quote book in notes lmao 😂
"society that values all the wrong things" - and here you failed the open mindedness and sensitivity part. Welcome to the "unintelligent" club, we have cookies :)
@@kabo2246 what are you even saying? What they’re saying is true. Society puts so much value on beauty, the amount of followers you have, etc. Obviously this isn’t true in every case but there’s no doubt that some of these factors dominate society.. also the fact that people feel like they need to “fit in” and be like everyone else in order to be accepted.. just the mindset in general of society is messed up.. but that’s life, all you can do is continue to grow and try to work around it
@@relevant207 It’s not wrong to value beauty and popularity. It can lead to a dangerously obsessive pursuit, perhaps, but it’s not wrong. Fitting in is not taught either. It’s a human desire to want belonging from other people. In fact, it’s normal that you want to fit in than hoping you don’t. It’s not “messed up” for a society to want acceptance.
Fact:Being only optimistic or only realist is dangerous but one needs to have a combination of both optimism and realism 🙂🙂🙂
"Realism" is the term for having the right Balance of optimism and pessimesm, you know that things can go good or bad and you look at thibgs logically.
Pessimesm is the term you are looking for i believe.
Expect the worst, hope for the best is my mindset.
Yeah I’m normally a realist that occasionally flips to optimistic or pessimistic and when I’m optimistic things always go wrong.
Truth!

That would be my life, I like being wrong more than being right so I can always learn more^•^ For the second part, a example for me is in math, I always will find a different way that is not the way I am taught. But it also can lead to not showing work from my internal whiteboard that stores things.

I am happy that I came across this video, because the last few weeks or months I've been asking myself if I'm just faking my knowledge or intelligence. But this video told me otherwise and I'm glad and happy. Thank uuuuuuu
I love how helpful this community is. That being said, I do wonder how these signs of intelligence present differently in people with things like anxiety, depression, OCD, or really any mental illness that doesn't directly impact intelligence.
Ew
@@Fucklifedeadshit ?
@@BlueDragon7100 Everyone who talks incessantly about their mental illness needs to exercise, eat better, get a job and stop using their “anxiety” as an identity. That was the implied meaning of my ew.
@@Fucklifedeadshit okay, and while your entitled to that opinion, I do wonder who you're talking about? I was just curious about how these illnesses, that do exist, affect these signs.
I don't want this comment to at all be about how people with those illnesses live their life. If you're not interested in learning, which is what I'm trying to do, I'm not sure why you'd be on this video in the first place.
All that said, excuse me while I continue trying to be supportive and learn about signs that can be used to help people. You do you tho stranger on the internet shitting on people who need psych help. On a psych TH-cam channel. It's your time to waste.
@@BlueDragon7100 And while you continue to blame magical illnesses and look for bandaids, I’ll finish this workout, go outside and interact with society, eat a healthy meal and then head off to work to support myself. I offered you the solutions to your problems, but you want some girl with an over modulated microphone to calmly tell you that everything is okay and none of it is your fault.
Your vids have really helped me out a lot in life, esspecially with my constant depression,insomnia, and anxiety battle. Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰this is my favorite psychological channel, and also, the voice is soooooo soothing ☺i love your videos so much
The worse thing is you're considered intelligent based upon how many people agree with you, being with such people for example family drains motivation and mental energy.
I’m not intelligent - finally after years of questioning I can finally say I am not. Now I am free to question everything. Thank you for freeing me of the shackles of wondering if I am a intelligent I’m insanely jealous of those who are, but life isn’t fair 🤷🏻♀️
dont let that discouraged you bro
Intelligence is not predetermined!
Everyone can be intelligent in their own way
Doesn’t matter. The mind constantly evolves. Whatever is your interest, go for it.
We all have the capacity, all it comes down to is a constructive mindset in life which anyone can build in themselves
Thank you for continuously sharing us these kind of things.
I actually don't want to take an IQ test because I have a strong feeling I'd score average or below and that would take a hit to my self-esteem considering how much effort I put into trying to learn as much as possible. I can identify strongly and provide personal examples to all these points, however in a formal setting like a test I usually don't perform well.
For example I can go someplace in a new city once and memorize the route to get back, however I can barely name off the street names in my city. I can tutor and achieve the highest grades in my calculus courses but I still don't have my multiplication tables memorized. Even on English papers I seem to always interpret fiction novels way differently than what the teacher suggests the author is aiming for. Even though I provide evidence for my interpretation I still score badly because it's not the obvious one which bothered me and put me off English. It's almost like you're getting penalized for not sharing the same point of view which is kind of silly.
I'm pretty convinced that your last example is just a flaw of the way we get taught such topics in .
I too got pretty bad scores whenever I had to analyze novels, for the same reason you did.
I've taken different IQ tests throughout my youth and early 20's but I see them merely as a score for how well you can notice mathematical patterns. I still don't see a point to the tests.
I can see why such an ability was necesssary back when computers weren't a thing, and we had to strategize well during war times. Even gathering intel and cracking the enemies encryptions of secret messages.
Idk how important such a test is anymore, sure there might still be some advantage in the military section, but even if you had an average score, I'm sure you'd fare well, seeing you can think for yourself.
yes, i've experienced this too.......
I bet you'll score 120+

Intelligent people learn to curb the urge to be sarcastic. Sarcasm can be hurtful. Moreover, it can be damaging.
@@Psych2go simp pushing children :) hows that wit and sarcasm for you ?
I see these more often in children than I do in adults, especially the self-identity, curiosity and creativity.
That's before some parents knowingly or unknowingly stomp on their self-identify to conform to their beliefs of how they want their children to be. Some parents don't support their children's creativity and stunts their growth. Some parents don't acknowledge their children, at all.
Interesting! Why do you think that is?
Don't forget the wit... my cousin, is absolutely demolishing that game. And every single child has some way to properly roast you, regardless of what you say:)
Children do have that. My little sister (7) has way more emotional intelligence in her age than I did. I had intelligence but that was in reading, speaking and understanding mathematics, science etc.
I developed my emotional intelligence way later. My little sister is more emotionally intelligent and perceptive. Her humor and sarcasm is always on point. The only thing she struggles with is focus. She can't sit still for one minute, don't wait until others finish their sentences and quickly gets bored. I think she might have ADHD but parents think ADHD is bullshit 😑
I think you are right in reference to those people who can have a high intelligence within the average but what is explained is not always true since people with high intellectual capacities known as "gifted" are highly intelligent people that in many cases they have characteristics such as: Not accepting their mistakes (even if they make few), questioning everything, showing that they are highly intelligent, bragging about their understanding and knowledges…
”Just because your grade is lower than the next person next to you doesn't it mean that you are smarter than them”
Even though they got a higher score doesn't mean that you are worse. It means you learned of your failures. And learning about them is the best way to learn something then to just get straight A's
I love unwinding at the end of the day by watching one of these videos. Your voice is so calming and you’re always giving hope and clarity even for the most difficult mental road blocks and conditions. Thanks Psych2go 💛
🌷🌷🌷
One of the most emotional mature people I know usually gets pretty bad grades but I swear they are so smart in a way no one could see
that happens quite often i think
EQ and IQ definitely can be drastically different!
this is super off topic but i love your art style because it’s so simple 😭 ❤
can i just say that i really loved the animation for this video? it's so cute and vibey and just so so good!!
Thanks for your efforts in producing regular , thought provoking content. Greatly appreciated.
Much appreciated!
I like that this can open people to acknowledging strengths they didn't fully understand or at all that they had. But as someone who's been thru plenty of traumas, I know I'm intelligent, but I know it's been hard for me to think I'm a smart or worthy person. And ik this channel focuses on things like that too. So, it's just underwhelming, I guess? To see that there's not a "disclaimer" of some kind, since these kind of individualistic ideals and self worth (esp at a young age) is built upon a lense of the world and the people around you, esp your parents and family. And the world is happy to force those kinds of positives out of people, esp minorities and women.
Not to shit on the video or the channel!! I'm a subscriber and I like their videos. I just wanted to point out traumas can warp our view of the world and ourselves, and it might be hard for some who are intelligent to appreciate the truths of this video, as they could apply to them.
Really good points to ponder!
Thats right.
Thank you for sharing this!
i dont think so. I think intelligent people identify their traumas and fix them. I dont think intelligent people victimize them self and excuse bad behavior because of traumas, which is what most of the people do.
im so glad we're back to this. was a better time
It isn't about how intelligent it is. it's about how much contribution were made to the community using that intelligence. That's what people really admire about someone who is intelligent.

thanks for this video I realized some of my faults and I will try to improve myself your channel helps me a lot
I think being intelligent is knowing yourself that you are intelligent. From all the solved problems that you've done alone to your own ideas and experiments that suceeded, even others probably don't care or people just told you to stop. You just don't talk about it,even though some people said it to you, but still, you don't boast about and just smiles at them as an appreciation, you just know yourself that you are smarter than most peoples.
"Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change." - Stephen Hawking
We need to remind our politicians and media about this quote. For progression to happen, change must start. Intelligent people want growth (change).
Yes!
i feel like the current version of "intelligence" has completely swayed from the true meaning of what being intelligent is
Or maybe what we valued as intelligence changed. We live in an era that had never existed before a digital, globalization world. There are just more ways to demonstrate intelligence.
@@NYC_KID92 that's true! i wish all intelligence was valued equally though
@@fluxinspired no that's not possible
All types of intelligences,which is a myth btw. Can't be equally treated because EQ doesn't make a scientist,an artist, a philosopher,a creater. It just makes you an empath which can't be valued over a revolutionary equation
Do you think intelligence is objective or subjective?
@@Psych2go subjective, there's no one set way of being intelligent in my opinion

I think that there are two kinds of intelligence, (1) generalised intelligence based on the processes of accumulative learning (i.e. “book smart”), and (2) dialectical intelligence based on more complex social mechanisms (i.e. “street smart”). Dialectical intelligence invents the tools that the general intelligence uses. Social conditioning is infinitely more complex than classical and operant, it’s one thing to observe and repeat, but it’s another to observe and invent. By being able to capture, emulate and recognise patterns in social dialects we can meaningfully adapt to novel conditions.
Anthropologically specific conditions or traits like political beliefs or contemporarily relevant ideals should never be factored into any definition of intelligence, otherwise they're only useful for a couple decades at most.
The only unique thing that separates us as large chemical structures and the individual atoms that compose them is that we can be inefficient. If you are following the shortest path with the least resistance (limbic autonomic stimulus-response to attain homeostasis just falling down chemical gradients) then you’re probably not displaying intelligence. Altruism is an aspect intelligence because it is inefficient, atoms on their own can’t forgo interactions through will or have longterm investments. A major problem however in psychology is that particular behaviours are considered altruistic depending on the era or location. Like for example, in contemporary west coast America it is considered altruistic to have a vegan lifestyle, and in some states it’s a position with very few obstacles and is very accessible. A German choosing to be vegan in the 1700s is not the same as an American choosing to be vegan in 2020, one encounters innumerable obstacles and the other is following a short path with minimal resistance. My point is that we can’t define intelligence with contemporary ideals in mind, it must be relevant to inefficiency, for how else can novelty be measured or exercised without ecological resistance?
theres actually 9 types of intelligence
@@kyawoue you think so? To me it seems like pop science to increase the number, like the premise of a buzzfeed quiz. “Which of the 23 types of intelligence are you if you were a Disney Princess?” Or something to this effect LMAO. The evolutionary application of intelligence is simply an accessory to autonomic functions, cognisance exists exclusively in the presence of planning and problem solving, or in other words, if you have met all of your needs, there is a tendency to not plan or problem solve. Intelligence resolves problems encountered in the environment when autonomic processes cannot resolve them. It can be argued that there is only one kind of intelligence, the one that permits novel adaptation to changing or unfamiliar conditions. There are animals who encounter chronic exposure to unusual stressors, whose mesolimbic and immediate monoamine pathways incessantly invoke fear treating their fornix like a slippery dip and Mike Tysoning their ventral amygdala like a punching bag, so the outermost layers of their cerebrum allocate additional metabolic resources, anchoring mesocortical pathways where monoamines don’t suffice the workload and amino acids reign, and ironically, back home to the ancient hypothalamus, where the most complex messages permit the most novel of behaviour in the expressions of neuropeptides. It asks “did you solve the problem?” And punishes the animal for encountering it, and the animals peers punish it for solving it, but they like the easier path to homeostasis so they compensate and mimic the inventors behaviours.
Imagine if our intelligence and all we are is the culmination of an extant war between nervous tissue and glandular epithelium. LMAO.
@@Lily-yf2rx can you make it easier to understand? english is not my first language sorry
@@kyawoue Sorry, basically what I was saying was that the main reason why intelligence exists is because it helps animals deal with problems that are new to them. When we learn something and master the skill, it becomes second nature, like for example, driving, riding a bike, reading a book, etc. these things become so easy and familiar to us. The main function of intelligence is to effectively deal with an obstacle that we don’t yet have the skills to deal with. It’s the ability to adapt. Social animals have a lot of obstacles that they must navigate, and so they tend to be the more intelligent ones with a wide array of skills.
In psychology, there’s this tendency to make things more complex than necessary, like for example, by adding more kinds of intelligence. If a theory is to last longer than a few decades, it must be simplified and observable regardless of era. I think a better way of looking at it, is that there is only one kind of intelligence, but there are many kinds of social animals living in many kinds of places. So it’s not that people have different intelligences, but rather that the cognitions associated with intelligence encounters many different kinds of people.
@@Lily-yf2rx okay thankss
3:34 The animation is so adorable here I absolutely melted!
Haven't seen ur videos in a while. The animations are really good, little buddy is still cute and I'm always learning something new
This is applicable in soooo many contexts 😊
My “power naps” are overpowered. 👀
Stumbled into this video, stayed for the chill narration.
I often joke that I’m smarter than other people because of my IQ but sometimes people don’t get my joke and think I’m just full of myself.
Self praise is not usually a good joke.
@@Tidbit0123 I have a sarcastic sense of humour
@@bear8778 I don’t I’m actually really stupid in the sense that I have zero common sense and that I fail to basic tasks I don’t actually think I’m smarter than most people because you can’t base it off one test score. I say that to mock people who do think that because they have a high iq it makes them some kind of genius
"True wisdom is acknowledging that you know nothing"
I used to think I was the smart kid. Until I realized I wasn't, then I became the smart kid by knowing I'm not.
I used to have those signs but life has changed it.
I am not honest with people anymore because I started to believe that people around me can't be trusted and that made me independent. And I am not sensitive with other people's emotions. When, I was young, I used to think like, *how could they be so cruel and heartless.It must be so difficult to embrace such kind of negative energy. * But now, it's the opposite. It is so difficult to be nice to such kind of people. It's difficult to be nice to people. But I'm still enthusiastic about learning new things and developing myself day by day. I have egos and reputations but that doesn't stop me from learning new activities and acknowledges my fault.
And I think my creativity has developed better as I started to see everything in different possible point of view.
I've got an unusually high IQ, or at least I did when I was a child (I assume 20 year of crippling depression lowered it significantly), but I totally failed school anyway. lol
Let me guess, your parents made you chase perfection instead of focusing on yourself?
@@curtismcpsycho8212 Yes, at the same time as constantly telling me I'm too stupid to ever achieve anything, funnily enough
@@joban4963 kinda the same thing here, my mom wanted C's to A's and we had a lot of family problems and my dad was too much of a douchebag to care and he was the source for atleast half of my family's problems.
Also high IQ, also failed school (passing grades though). No negative influence from parents, just an inability to do stupid, poorly defined shit work for hours to prove I understand something which I understood immediately.
Things were just too slow and boring for me to care.
Her voice is too calming. Makes me want to watch more
me too! hey btw, i recently started my own channel if u wanna check it out, i talk a lot about well-being and self growth there
I love your voice :D, so deep and meaningfull in your content.
Thanks for this video!
For everyone of us who love her voice she is Amanda Silvera
Really love your vids. Even if I don’t apply to some of these thing, (I have not watched it yet) it is still really cool

yeah, i’m and i’m not going to doubt it ever again
Love that you cited the mentalist.😊😎
If you suffer from trauma, you can still be intelligent, but not exhibit some of these characteristics due to the effects of trauma.
Totally agree
I am quite intelligent! The signs have described me since I was 11 years old and they still do. Thank you for the video!
Does that apply to the point at 0:10 ?
@@TheMathias95 hahaha
The last sentence before the outro was heartwearming ^^
Beautiful video, thank you.
I think I'm very sensitive to other people's feelings, it makes me feel like I overthink stuff.
oh i feel the saame! hey btw, i recently started my own channel if u wanna check it out, i talk a lot about well-being, self growth and nutrition there
what I love about this is that all these things can be practiced by anyone who's willing to try. So anyone who is willing can be intelligent. ✨
you cant become intelligent, you can be intelligent. what you can train for is being smart
Renuka ..you'd better sit down for this.....
@@victorgengler695 You should learn the difference between intellect and intelligence.
@@foreverseethe LMFAO
I read somewhere autism, schizohrenia, dyslexia, ADHD havers, ETC. You are more likely to be intelligent.
I appreciate your assessment of true intelligent. 100% correct.
i just love those little leafs used as they hair 😭
I love your videos and you how teach us about stuff like this i wish people can be taught this in school
right they should! hey btw, i recently started my own channel if u wanna check it out, i talk a lot about well-being and self growth there
Since i felt to depression these past 3 years i've noted how my will and intellect has declined, it's really sad, learning has become as hard as climbing a mountain, feeling so tired after, i sometimes remember the parts that i liked of me, i used to consider myself to be not the most, but yes intelligent, i miss my life.
Definitively will try those power naps!
Hi!
Just wanted to say it gets better. It will never seem like it though of course. As everyDay may seem more difficult and over bearing. But I just want to tell you it really does get better.
I will pray for you and I truly hope you have a good support system but that you also support and care for yourself too. That there are plenty of things through your days that will make you smile and bring you joy. Even when it’s almost seemingly impossible to in this state. God loves you as you are and I truly hope you have a blessed day💖
@@anyone1111 Ty so much 💓 💗 💖 feels good to hear/read kind words from time to time 😀

Yayyy I’m so happy that this made you feel a lil better! I enjoy seeing kind comments too so I love being kind to others and hopefully making them feel happier, even if it’s just a little bit. I hope you have a lovely, blessed day🥰
I have trouble with self identity, mostly because of past traumas, but I've been working hard to understand and know myself better
5:40 this is so true. My entire life i've never been one to get A* in anything, it seems I'm always so distracted, trying to grasp questions or subjects completely unrelated to my studies. I've surprisingly finished my education with a Bachelor of Arts degree, no way my younger self could've thought that was ever possible.
Many times I've interacted with people getting great grades and uncontrollably boasting about how well they did, it seemed so arrogant and silly to base one piece on someones entire value. Being book smart is amazing but being street smart is very underestimated, its an entire game unexplainable to someone not experienced. I'm severely dyslexic with a difficult and troubled background, to anyone who feels they aren't good enough: trust me you are, no matter what any human says it shouldn't impact your self belonging and happiness. Stay strong kings and queens, no matter what anyone says, laugh in the face of adversity while keeping calm and carrying on.
+Psych2go *A major subset of the autism spectrum, including myself, are unable to read others' faces or body language.* Training to mitigate the inherent insensitivity to others' emotions is therefore vital.
I think the questions that people asks are also a sign of inteligent. There's one time in Science class I came across something I didn't know so I just asked my teacher. "Teacher what is a (insert thing here) And then after I asked the question and got the answer, Another person asked a question: "Teacher why can't we just place the (random thing) down and why do we need something to hold it?" It was at that moment, i know that person was VERY observant, that person observe things carefully and she SEE things that other's don't!
Right after class I thought about the difference between the questions ask by me and her, and i learned that I'm not that smart like other people, but that's okay! The whole point is to just improve and improve.
You can't judge someone by one question they asked
@@N____er yep,you’re right!
I have a friend who may only get average grades, but she is one of the most creative people I know. Give her any concept and she will twist it to make it the most insane thing I could never imagine even if given my whole life to think. I’ve always been impressed and wowed about people like that deep down. The ability to make up ideas on the go is probably one of the most underrated superpowers I can only dream of.
I love this channel sm!

Finally (sorry, third comment) people within the gifted range (130+) do actually show perfectionist tendencies, meaning they really do care about making mistakes, as well worry about disappointing people. It’s not uncommon for them to feel develop sort of imposter syndrome, and so this point as well is quite inaccurate.
Oh wow, I like this drawing style!
me too!
Video is quite helpful. Helps in denoting whether you're really intelligent past exam marks but do you mind sharing where you get such wonderful graphics? I'm simply so impressed by them.
Years ago I worked with a chap that was a science PHD. His specialist field was LIGHT. He wrote computer programs, designed pieces of equipment and when you asked him a basic question related to the job he would draw this massive explanation on the white board which would blow your mind. However he would sit in the staff room and we would do the times crossword together. More often than not I would solve more of the puzzle than him, then I’d tease him by saying “ call yourself a phd, ha “. His response was priceless. quote “ we are all gifted, talented , clever or however you want to put it. We just know different things “. Brilliant man.👍👍
Are these signs of intelligence or high, healthy self-esteem? I know genuinely intelligent people who are insecure, a bit lost, and too nervous around others to be witty.
I think being witty and being insecure doesn't really need to cancel each other out.
Sure, there are a lot of different people, but I'm sure even nervous and insecure people could have some people around them, where they are confident enough to show their wit (or maybe they have their own conversations in their head?). :)
I have diagnosed autism (never did a real IQ test, but some sort of testing where doctors said they think I could be above 140-150IQ) and I'm normally reeeeaaallyyyyy weird and insecure around people, ending in me usually being really quiet, sometimes not saying a word the whole day/evening (or a lot of stuttering and stumbling over words). I'm like this even with friends I know for years (it ended in panic attacks too) and know I could talk the dumbest shit I can imagine without it getting weird, but I just can't get over this problem.
But sometimes there are moments with a few of them (and I mean like max 3-5 people, even tho a lot more are really lovely), where I just say/answer/blurt something and realize that was actually quite witty without thinking (and I have a lot of conversations in my head, where I think it would be funny but don't say it aloud).
I wouldn't say I'm the funny type, but I heard from people they think I'm funny/witty. Can't wrap my head around it, but I guess I come off as it?
So yeah.. I don't think being both is a contradiction, they maybe just don't show what's actually going on in their head.
@@izal4625I agree with you. But I wasn't saying that someone is either witty OR insecure. I was saying that insecurity, nervousness, or social anxiety can exist along with high intelligence. This video assigns traits to "having high intelligence" that seem more like attributes of having "high self esteem AND intelligence.
The point on strong self-identity is interesting to me, since I recall there being a strong correlation between high intelligence and high levels of openness and, likewise, that people who are highly open often have difficulty developing a strong sense of self....
Yes you can be too open to all influences. At some point you have to prioritise what Yr attention is on ie which books you read what shows and films you watch because a single person only has so much time and energy
Jordan 🇯🇴Peterson mentions this that this can be a problem for creatively inclines people
@@citizensnid3490 That is true - but the intelligent person knows what they do NOT read or prioritise.. Intelligence is the ability to read between the lines, read the room, the society, opinions, motives etc..
Yes. It is so. Being intelligent is both a blessing and a curse. You see a lot of things, which is amazing, but it's so hard to find someone to share them with. Being different from others simply means living life more alone.
I love your animations ✨
