6 signs that you’re smarter than you think

Because we could all use a little ego boost - by Laura Barry

6 signs that you’re smarter than you think

We all have those days when we feel a little slower than usual, tasks are harder than they should be and making a decision feels like an impossible task. However, we all have bad days, and many of us are actually smarter than we think! Here are 6 different signs that suggest you’re smarter than you think.

1. Women with a love for a cheeky glass of wine are usually smarter

A British study found that women educated at a college level drank 86 per cent more than less educated women in the same demographic, and the relationship between education and drinking was more prevalent in women than men.

2. If you hit snooze on your alarm, you’re probably a bright button

Another British study called Why Night Owls Are More Intelligenthas found that people who hit their snooze button a couple of times every morning are actually more creative and happier than those who jump out of bed at the first ring.

3. Known to drop a few f-bombs? Then you could be a genius

Researchers at the private research school University of Rochester in New York recently published a new study in the Official Journal of the International Society for the Study of Individual Differences, that found people who are intelligent are more likely to swear a lot.

4. If you like to walk around the house naked, you’re probably the next Einstein

The same American study found that people who enjoy walking around the house naked are also usually highly intelligent – which is an interesting finding in scientific study. How did they even test that?

5. If you like being alone, you’re highly intelligent

A recent study conducted by the researchers at Singapore Management University in conjunction with the London School of Economics has found that intelligent people prefer a little ‘me time’ over large social activities with friends, and feel better for it.

6. If you’re open-minded, you’re probably clever

According to a study from University of Pennsylvania, people who are willing to understand different perspectives and opinions, rather than accepting one viewpoint, are usually intelligent. Furthermore, smart people tend to be more open to new concepts, ideas and are less likely to be manipulated.
