Society Story: Ask yourself these 7 questions to find out if you are really smart

If you love IQ tests, you've definitely passed a lot of them. But our intelligence is not always measured by the amount of knowledge we possess - sometimes it's about out behavior and everyday habits.

#1

Society Story: When was the last time you tried something new?

Trying new things in life not only improves your confidence level, but also makes your brain work. As time goes on, we get used to the things we do regularly – even if you play chess or solve mathematical equations every day, it becomes an easy task for your brain at some point, so you stop improving your cognitive skills. If you want to train your intelligence, you need to gain new experiences on a regular basis.

#2

Society Story: Do you get upset when you make mistakes?

Smart people take mistakes as something that will bring them new knowledge and make them stronger. In other words, "mistakes" don't exist for such people – there are only lessons.

#3

Society Story: Do you love working alongside people smarter than you?

When an intelligent person meets someone smarter and more successful, they are not afraid to communicate and don't feel inferior. On the contrary, a smart person will try to learn something new from their brilliant colleague or interlocutor.

#4

Society Story: Can you prevent problems?

People usually solve problems when they arise, but people who are smarter than average can often predict difficulties. One way or another, everything happens due to some cause, and if you understand it and know how to prevent some problem, you are smarter than you realize.

#5

Society Story: Are you interested in a variety of subjects?

Smart people don't think that some information is not worth knowing. They are interested in everything and won't miss an opportunity to learn something new, even if it has nothing to do with their current work and hobbies.

#6

Society Story: Can you make people laugh?

Being funny and able to laugh on everyday things and problems is also a skill that requites some intelligence. If you often make your friends and family laugh and can take a relaxed approach to life, this means you are quite smart.

#7

Intelligent people understand the world and other people better, which allows them to manage their feelings and do everything to feel happy and content with their life.

Did these questions make you think about something important? Do you agree with the explanations?

Intelligence has nothing to do with ability to achieve happiness if anything less intelligent people get content in life more easily and tend to have happier and more normal lives

This was good I enjoyed it! As long as I am waking up in the morning, on top of the ground and not under it I am Happy!!!

I’m supposed to be very intelligent, and. I was in school, but I have no sense of direction and little mechanical ability. I’m not good at cards or popular games either. I am able to make people laugh though especially those for whom my stories are new.

Nancy Gardner

Great information, and true.

Diane Peparata

Sam Manavi, I couldn't agree more. It's the more intelligent people that usually suffer from depression, anxiety, etc.

Paul Vickers

Well I do make folk laugh in care job which i work

Peggy Layton

The last one ! ,happiness is a fleeting thing ( for me) and contentment is most important .One can be unhappy or happy about something but contented in ones life.Happiness I feel is flaunted too much as feelings alter hour by hour .

There could at least been one question about flexibility or versatility when it comes to admitting that you were wrong, or indeed had to change ones mind about a particular life-long habit!

I'm quite smart but the world changes, younger & faster people/systems come into play. Maybe it's intelligent to step back & catch your breath sometimes. I'm intelligent not relentless

Sam Manavi, I'm going to say true and false, although, I too don't quite understand the correlation. I do agree with the last part of your statement, though.

I did like the questions and explanations. Gave me some things to think about and consider.

stellaclaude

Sam Manavi, that is a very condescending thing to say!

Mary Herold

I love to try new things, make people laugh, and never sweat the small stuff. I don’t like making mistakes but they happen so learn from them and move on.
