You're smart as hell: 1. You adapt swiftly to change. 2. Unique ideas pour out of you. 3. You're not conscious of yourself. 4. You live in the messy moment. 5. You love rhythm, you can sing, dance, and write songs easily. 6. You can see the pattern & the way 7. You're curious and question everything. 8. You learn fast. 9. Words flow to you automatically. 10. You have a photographic memory. 11. You get inspired by the moment. 12. You're a jack of all trades. 13. People call you wise, sage, etc. 14. You have the gift of discernment. 15. You see the big picture.

There are people with normal IQ's that are extreme experts in their field, and people with IQ's above 180 that cannot function, as well as below average IQ people that are insanely talented in what they are interested in. IQ isn't as important as it's made out to be. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and everyone can alter them just like in a role playing game.

@@mikethecollector IQ doesn't measure intelligence, it measures one's ability to perform academic tasks. Many of those tasks also work beyond just academics, but it's mostly a test to see how well someone would function in the structure of society as it is right now. As of right now there is no way to measure true intelligence. Scanning brain activity is easy, but until we actually have a way to properly decrypt it, it's hard to come up with an objective measure of intelligence. For example, someone could potentially solve an equation in their head very quickly, but in their head only 3 steps happen. Someone else could take twice as long, but in that amount of time he's done a much more thorough job and took like 20 steps to get there. Doing 20 calculations in 2 seconds while doing 3 calculations in 1... it's pretty obvious which of the 2 actually does more. But since we cannot measure what exactly happens in the brain and how it translates to real life, in actuality we'd say the faster person is the more intelligent one. Basically, the way we currently measure intelligence focuses on the results, rather than the entire process it takes to get to the results.

I guess it depends on what "things" you're predicting but I would suggest using this mindset with caution. Depending on the nuances and complexities of these "things" I highly doubt you're 100% correct all the time. If so you may be an alien. I'm 36 and it's been a constant battle in life to know when to follow my instincts and when to recognize I'm probably over-analyzing and the difference between the two. It's a skill I don't think I'll ever fully master and honestly never want to because it does take the fun out of life. I purposely ignore information sometimes so it doesn't stop me from pursuing something and I'm often, in the long run at least, glad I did. It seems like common sense to take the least treacherous route when presented the option but we all know that often times the true reward isn't the goal itself but rather the pursuit of it. It can be a very valuable skill for sure but when, where, why, and how it's applied is debatable. As they say "ignorance is bliss". Also it should be noted that this mindset can make you susceptible to self fulfilling prophecies. So really if your actions can influence whether your prediction is correct or not it's just psuedo-science or speculation at that point.

“Most of us recognize an intelligent person when we meet one.” You don’t have to be too smart to realize this is false. (There’s a sucker born every minute)

That doesn't mean that you can predict something or be absolutely correct about that particular issue but you know when something is either bad or good. You can tell wether someone is good or bad but no idea why, but oftentimes I am normally correct and later find the person was a bad person.

I agree with all the descriptors throughout the video, and have been now for a majority of my life conscious of possessing these, not because I sought them, but rather because acquaintances and teachers early on always have told me this, though I was very loathe to accept the positive criticisms. The problem I have found thus far in my sojourn is that often, because many do not try to develop these things, they either do not know how to support you in your seeking of knowledge or attempt to utilize what knowledge you have found, many ridicule you for being different or looking at things from a different or deeper perspective (in my case, friends, family, work peers, and even my own wife), and I dare say that it can handicap your ability to find a means of expression in work or even in your social life. Circumstances greatly hurt my ability in these areas, yet I am not resigned to give up hope that I will yet find use for the vast amount of information I've gleaned through my many years of self study, and the concepts which have arisen from summations of different domains of knowledge. What I find most useful is the habit of approaching every person and problem from a clean slate without any presupposition.

What does sojourn mean? I think I use the word ethos instead when I'm doing self reflection. Here's a perspective of mine, that may or may not help, either way you can confirm or deny my ideas so that both of us can benefit. The way I see understanding (can use the word intelligence here too) is a ladder/staircase, the higher you get, the more layered it gets, and to communicate with people you attempt to begin at step one/the first rung (think that's what it's called) and you can absolutely go higher. A lot of language is symbolism and/or shorthand, because we need levity in conversation. I personally enjoy taking a complex subject and making it into basic b*tch language, because one, it's fun for me, it helps my brain have the basic idea before it goes deeper, kinda like a pin in thoughts. Because as you can see above I don't hold too much merit in language. Language is simply a tool of expressing expression, not expression itself. There are so many ways of saying things that mean the same thing, and even if you can't go that deep in conversation, the seed is sown, you are making ripples, that most people (including myself) cannot comprehend. Bottom line is, communication is key, the other person you are communicating with has to understand you, and that can take many different forms, so both are you are on the same level.

I think average people cannot recognize brilliance when they see it. On that same coin they tend to think that they’re the brilliant ones

Confidently and competently are two different things.

5 months A little too late I guess I'm sorta like these, I have outbursts of knowledge on occasions (that is what I call it) since I was 10 where I tap into knowledge that sounds crazy but has helped a lot of people out and even weirded them out

So many points seem to be subject to anxiety and environment. In a competitive, large personnel setting I wouldn't expect a recluse to speak up, nor would I think anyone hyperfocused with all answers and ideas to not be a psychopath.

This was excellent 💯💯💯

Such cap

I don’t mean to remember facts, details, places etc. I just do. I don’t mean to find so many things interesting, I just do. I don’t mean to recognise patterns in behaviour, natural patterns, or symmetry, I just do. I am always fascinated when others don’t see it or worse see it but aren’t interested. I learnt to dumb myself down to make myself more socially compatible with my peers. Towards the end of a team meeting at work everyone was drowsy and a tad lethargic, some commented on this, then without thinking I simply stated that the CO2 levels had risen as the room was unventilated probably upwards of 800-1000ppm, once we get outside we’ll all feel better. They looked at me and said who thinks like that?? I smiled and stopped talking, I shrugged my shoulders and returned to the topics at hand. Oops, said too much so many people just don’t care about things like that. Why do I care? My mind gets so bored that I will learn about almost anything to keep myself mentally stimulated. Oh and I love reading. I could read from 3.5yrs of age and read chapter books from 5. Some read even earlier than this but my mother said she can never recall when I started to read - I just could. Also as a child I never stopped talking, much to the annoyance of others. My mother placed me in holiday care at a teaching college in the 80’s when I was 6 and 7 yrs old, as I was too much for her. The thing is I loved it and I still remember the activities, games and fun I had so it was actually a win - win.

going into this video I knew that, no matter what, I was either going to feel really good about myself or feel like I'm really stupid by the end of it.

I always maintain that it can barely be possible to totally measure intelligence. This is because it is something that is so diverse, and different people often express intelligence in various ways. Perhaps this is why it is often said that no one is an island of intelligence!

It is an ego-boosting win, but after explaining how it works entirely it sets people in a different mode of competitive thought, where they genuinely expect that I am going to somehow pull that off again so they are extra cautious, making for a very fun rematch.

Now i understand why all my life I have been told I am brilliant and smarter than most people

I remember I got called to go for testing for a medical job I was interested in which included a typing test. When it was time for the typing test, as usual, my hands panicked and my mind went blank. After that was an IQ test for about 90 minutes on every subject you could think of from earth quakes to commerce to oceanography etc. I remember working through the questions thinking I know a bit about this or I remember something about that until I got through all the questions. I didn't realize that I knew a little bit about so many things. When I got called in to go over my test results, the lady said 'well you failed the typing test so I can't offer you that job'😂. Then she said I'm very surprised at what a high mark you got on the IQ test, we rarely see that high of a score so I would like to invite you to apply for any other jobs that come up here that interest you.

I used to have a near complete/true photographic and videographic memory. I'm not expecting anyone to believe me but i would remember most memories as video clips, with sound, smell etc. It used to drive my partner insane, he was talking to someone else whilst we were dating. He tried denying something so i recited their entire conversation to him months after glancing at it on his computer. He eventually learnt I couldnt be lied to. He called me the human lie detector. I then had an operation under general anesthetic and my memory has been patchy since. Decades long memories gone, thankfully it's kind of coming back. The worst was that I had no other way to store memories but photos and videos so when I lost that ability after my operation I just barely had a long term memory. I lost things constantly it was awful. P.S. I also managed to complete a Neuroscience degree, even though I procrastinated until 4 weeks before my exams. I could successfully cram an entire semesters worth of modules into my head in record time and then write 1st class essays and then memorise them and other papers by taking photos in my head. I came out with a 2.1 😂

So glad that finally someone told me.

According to this, I'm butt average, middle of the road intelligence. Funny thing is, I think I was much more intelligent when I was younger. I've always been shy, marginalized, and told to "hush, go play, not now, we don't care." If no one acknowledges or nurtures intelligence, I believe it dies. Brains atrophy, optimism dwindles, hope fades.

@@sandytaylor8720 Experience tells me you need to have some confidence in your abilities, before you can imagine proving someone wrong. When you're constantly told to "Go play, be quiet," and "don't bother us," by the people who should be encouraging you, listening to you, and affirming you, it sends a certain message of your value and worth. I learned to read at 3. In second grade they wanted to move me up a grade, and my mom wouldn't let them. In fourth grade I was a straight A student. In seventh grade I was a B student, and by high school I earned a 2.5 gpa. I was a poor kid, so the school didn't put me into any college prep classes. I didn't have the prerequisites to go to college, and I couldn't afford the fees for the ACT, SAT, or college applications. I was voted quietest in my graduating class. I learned to be quiet, and not bother anyone--which was valued in my home. Good grades and intelligence didn't matter to a mother who dropped out of school, and a step-father who believed children should be seen and not heard. I stayed in my room, reading. Kids need to be encouraged. They need to be taught, and exposed to things that help their minds grow. They need to be challenged. Opportunities need to be available to them. The brain is a living organ, and it needs exercise. Praising a child does so much to encourage them to learn! I bet the parents of these little geniuses have books available, and puzzles, and learning games. I bet they work with them, and cheer when they succeed. Even average kids will do better in a supportive environment.

According to this video, I'm the smartest person on the planet. I literally do all 15 of these things every single day. I would say my memory isn't perfect by any means, but I'm really good at remembering small details that most people would forget

Photographic memory helps, but mine is more like pictures, & I can't zoom in on text, but can see my notes, & rote memorization helps w/that. It's weird, & there are tricks to learning how. Acronyms help to 'see' what I've written before, & underlining what I read, like reminders. I used to be able to see all my notes cards in my head, too, front & back. That was one of the easiest ways bc I could 'see' each one in my head. Does that make any sense? I've had no need for that in many yrs:) It served me well during my education, & of course, being a Mama, tho, as I'm officially the finder of all lost things lol!

And where can people who meet most of these criteria go to best utilize their skills? Is there a nonprofit organization helping kids to find what they're best at, so they can focus their skillsets on a certain industry? Is there a forum, or group of like-minded individuals (not MENSA) that come together to brainstorm, and try to solve world or local problems?

So, just to note, most intellectual people I meet have trouble remembering names or where the keys & wallet went...

I knew from an early age I was different than other kids. For example, I remember early in first grade, we were told to draw a house. And then the pics were hung up after. All the other kids drew those 1D triangle kid type houses. I drew a 3D type house, going back on a diagonal. No one told me to do it, I just did that on my own. When I looked at all the drawings hanging up, and mine was the only one like that, I knew I was more intelligent.
