6 Signs of High IQ, Do You Already Know?

Dream - Smart and intelligent are things that describe a person's quality. Sometimes these two things are often considered the same by many people. However, the fact is that being smart and intelligent are two different qualities.

Smart vs Wise

Experts say if intelligence is related to how much someone tries to understand or learn something, and someone will be intelligent if they do it with effort. Meanwhile, smartness refers to someone's natural ability and they don't need effort to be smart.

"If you are interested in knowing the extent of your intelligence, Rosemarie Manfredi, a brain and behavior specialist in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, suggests consulting a psychologist and taking an intelligence test. One of them is an IQ test. "IQ tests measure both verbal and non-verbal thinking abilities, as well as how well someone remembers information and how quickly they process it," said Dr. Manfredi."

Dr. Manfredi also mentioned that there are several intelligence tests commonly used for adults, such as the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scales, and Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales. Generally, the average IQ score for each individual ranges from 90 to 109, but it can vary and increase with age.

The result of an IQ test is only one aspect of a person's intelligence, and having a high IQ does not guarantee that a person has never experienced stress or pressure.

Besides IQ tests, Dr. Manfredi and another neuroscientist say there are several signs that indicate someone has high intelligence. Curious what they are?

1. Open minded and high curiosity.

"Someone who has high intelligence tends to be open-minded towards new experiences and ideas," said Joel Frank, PsyD, a psychologist from Sherman Oaks, California.

A study in 2016 that examined more than 5,000 people for almost half a century found that someone with high intelligence is very open-minded towards new ideas and has a higher curiosity. Interestingly, this can help improve their intelligence continuously.

2. Long-term thinking

The following 'Bahasa' text translated to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Psychologists from California also said that someone with high intelligence has the trait of reframing, which means trying to see something from a different perspective. They also adapt their way of seeing things in order to find solutions."

3. Messy Workspace

Perhaps this is one of the quite surprising facts. Several experts have repeatedly conducted research and it turns out that people with high IQ tend to have messier rooms.

4. Good memory

Research also says that someone with high intelligence can store information well over a long period of time.

5. Hobby of solitude

In 2016, a study showed that people with high IQs often enjoy spending time alone or having me time. Those with above-average intelligence levels also tend to feel uncomfortable in crowded places.

6. Reliable

Intelligent people have the ability to judge others well, so they usually choose to be in the circle of people they can trust.

That is the sign that indicates someone has high intelligence, but Dr. Frank emphasizes not to rely too much on intelligence tests alone to assess someone's level of intelligence. "Although there are tools to estimate intelligence, it is better to consult a psychologist to obtain accurate results," said Dr. Frank. Report by Amanda Syavira/ The Healthy.
