The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the
stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt. - Bertrand Russell
Russell hit the right chord when he talked about the paradox of wise men
and fools. Although it is not a mighty task to sift the wise men from the
crowd, science says that there are ways of telling intelligent people from
the no-so-intelligent ones. Researches and surveys across the world have

This has more to do with evolution. "Sleep researchers tend to divide

people into two groups, based on whether they exhibit 'morningness' or
'eveningness.' A recent study claims that eveningness is an evolutionary
advancement that marks out 'more intelligent individuals,' while those with
lower IQs tend to restrict their activities primarily to daytime" explains
zoologist Robert Alison in the Winnipeg Free Press.
4.
As a study commissioned by Hewlett Packard says, infomania is turning

out to be a grave problem for adult workers. It is a form of distraction
caused by the constant urge to check mails or text messages and in return
makes a person neglect almost everything from family to duties.
5.
As a report in PsychCentral suggests, "There is growing evidence that

musicians have structurally and functionally different brains compared with
non-musicians. In particular, the areas of the brain used to process music
are larger or more active in musicians. Even just starting to learn a musical
instrument can change the neurophysiology of the brain. The brain regions
involved in music processing are also required for other tasks, such as
memory or language skills."
6.
It is in the nature of intellectually sharper people to indulge in evolutionary

novel behaviour. Does that mean that it is healthy? You can pick your side
but it must be mentioned here that intelligent people do not necessarily
indulge in healthy habits. As pointed out by Psychology Today, "more
intelligent individuals are more likely to consume all types of psychoactive
drugs than less intelligent individuals."
7.
As mentioned in the Encyclopedia Britannica "For the most part,

adaptation involves making a change in oneself in order to cope more
effectively with the environment, but it can also mean changing the
environment or finding an entirely new one." Intelligent people are thus,
quick to adapt.
8.
Not only the will to adapt, but the resistance to just about anything and
everything is one trait of an intelligent mind. Although both these traits
might seem to be at loggerheads, smart people have the ability to
accommodate both the traits. They only believe when presented with
ample facts.
9.
Even the most mundane thing seems fascinating to the intelligent mind.
The good news is curiosity is something that can be cultivated. If one
researches on everything new they see or read about, they will form the
habit of curiousness.
10.
This one might be a simple one. Intelligent people ask all the right
questions. It just goes to show how fast and well their brain processes and
accepts information. It also indicates that they have a working knowledge
of a lot of things and are highly observant.
11.
This is just a smart and effective way of coping with things. Not for nothing
have people stated over and over again that instead of letting your
mistakes get to you and make the voice in your head louder, it is fruitful
and valuable to learn from them and move on.
12.
Intelligent people seem to have a working knowledge of just about

everything. Resourcefulness is also a sign of evolution. Mankind has not
reached so far without putting available resources to use.
13.
This is to understand that not knowing something does not make one
stupid. Intelligent people see it as an opportunity to learn more about
things that they may not be familiar with.
14.
This has more to do with their skepticism. Unless and until they are
presented with hard facts, they do not take things on face value.
15.
Empathy is a core element of emotional intelligence. Emotionally intelligent

are not only interested in learning about experiences of others, they also
understand the need and feelings of others very intimately.
