More mistakes you make, the more you learn. If you’re not making mistakes, ur not learning.

I'm not fat. I've merely developed powerful muscles that enable me to sit for extended periods of time, without discomfort.

Alright Edison. Lol

@@B0bsUrUncle Ha ha yeah, if you had not brought up Edison I was going to do bring him up.

I've read a similar quote, im paraphrasing a bit, but- "intelligence is learning from your mistakes, wisdom is learning from other peoples mistakes".

Another: ‘Make sure to learn from others mistakes, as you dont have the time to make them all yourself’ I like the snap of the first one though

"Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise; for the wise men shun the mistake of fools, but fools do not imitate the successes of the wise." - Plutarch's Life of Cato

Wow!

Wisdom is the lesson you learn from experience. Not just experiencing it, but taking the lesson forward.

Unfortunately there are those who fail but learn nothing. We often call these people politicians.

Welcome to the club

or intelligent enough to realize that most of them 'Intellectual Pride' posts are quite useless in regards to what Planet Reality is.

Most geniuses think they lack intelligence though, so who knows.

Same

Lol! Me too!!

That is very true, literally everything is a scale like a role playing game. 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. That being said... some boss battles are harder than others.

😆

@@mikethecollectorthis kinda proves that IQ alone is a bullshit metric

@@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.

if they weren't they would be dead. survival of the fittest.

I think it was Mark Twain who reportedly said, "Don't argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."

Yes, it can. My narcissist, erm, mother, destroyed my ability to make music. I got a little of it back when I found a singing voice in church as an adult but other instruments are really beyond me.. EDIT: I thought about this more and changed it below. It doesn't ruin the basic intelligence, it stops you from applying it productively.

Quit pickin' daisies in far left field...

@@jenkathefridge3933 You must be a narcissist to make such a cruel remark. You don't have the whole story, not the least of which is I'm 77 years old so I suggest you step back and be quiet.

Pattern recognition is the way the mind compresses data. You find the pattern in the data, remember the abstracted form and then on recall you use this to reconstruct the individual cases.

I think strong memory is also part of it. The two go together. What is pattern recog if you can't remember any of the patterns.

You sure you don't have Aspergers? They have ADHD.

Dude I feel the exact same.

Adhd + OCD = genius

I, too, relate to ADHD and OCD. My grandmother used to call me "Wiggle mouse" and my dad called me "the instigator." I have 14 of the 15 traits! That explains my weirdness. I just thought I lacked focus! I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none. At age 30 I tried to install a skylight in my garage to lighten my planting area: I was a petite, woman 105 pounds dripping wet. I'm 80 now and continue to amaze myself and others since I still invent, work full time, empathize unending to others' pain, solve problems, in awe over the nighttime sky and the universe. I've produced 200 YT videos on astronomy, the paranormal, social injustice, and self-improvement. After watching this video, I don't feel so much of an "oddball."

Thanks so much and same to you 💝

Once you're proven right, they downplay your victory or dismiss the problem all together. After a lifetime of 90% accuracy, people still ignore your predictions, or focus on the times you were wrong. It's frustrating to say the least! After going to school for engineering I decided that only intelligent people can recognize and validate an intelligent person. Maybe you're not crazy, just surrounded by idiots?

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.

First time realizing you are INTJ?

I really doubt that. You may just have a mind that is better suited for applying information for practical use instead of pragmatics.

You might think you have “imposter syndrome” but you’re probably just smart lol

I literally have the same battle with myself all the time. I hate it so much 😂

Dunning-Kruger syndrome ( fake genius ) can be confused with an Imposter Syndrome ( self doubt ) ; Introverts are prone to suffer IS,, whilst Politicians have a propensity for Dunning-Kruger.

I wish I could afford cocaine

I am like you with that gut feeling yeah or instinct and almost correct about them! I am always quiet about it though!

I used to think it was, "gut instinct" but I began having visions (images and words) that came true. Now I think it is something more than that. I found out that my ancestors (great-grandmother, great-aunt, great-grandfather) were visionary prophets. I have 14 of the 15 traits, so now I feel less of an "outcast." My video about being a visionary is here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y9V_gK6cvcy7mYE.html

This is called a survival skill and humanity has had it since the beginning of time however it has become dull as we don't have to rely on it like we use too. However if you REALLY LISTEN and know what it is more than likely there is good reason for it.

I felt like I was the only one with this gut feeling. My all life was like that, I saw someone and I knew whether she was a good or bad person. And it’s thanks to this instinct that I could avoid, as a 10 years old kid, to be socially outcast because some crazy kid try to stole my friends by playing victim and accusing me of nonsense. This experience may not look important, but it causes me trust-issue, and if you add this “gut instinct” with it. I became really cold, decisive and unforgiving towards human relationship. And the same as you, when I tell my friend to be careful of someone because I got bad vibes, they ignore my warning and get hurt. When it applies to real life people, this “gut instinct” isn’t really something I like. And when it comes to movies, video games or books, I always feel like I got spoil when someone no one thought could be the villain ends up being one.

@@estellelecardonnel6132 I have a lady friend, who got married, I never met the guy before they got married for some reason, when finally met him, I had this strong dislike with the bloke and horrified with myself 'cause I have no reason at all, then less than a year later He divorced her, I learned that he was (I don't want to enumerate here what kind of a person he was to my friend), it was a relief for my friend that he ended up the relationship! you may ask why she didn't quit easily and fast, this has something to do with " the marriage vow, TILL DEATH DO US PART!As a good Christian!

"Nevwr trust what you read on the internet." - Abraham Lincoln

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.

Very well stated. I am in total agreement.

​@@nicktheninja3166 I couldn't agree more, communication is the key to everything! One technique that I've found incredibly useful, is to begin the topic on a very brief and basic level that 99% will understand. Those who want to know more will continue the conversation, ask questions, etc.. One can then elaborate further without raising the bar too high for others, who may not need or want to know every detail. It's less intimidating, or off-putting and demonstrates that one's in touch with the incoming inputs. Communication must be a two way street! All the best to you and yours!

@@Jockeylotforfun thank you for response. I'mma drop a fun perspective. Currently playing the crud out of warframe. My veteran friend is like: Nick wanna help me grind for a rare item, I need to open relics to try and get X for a frame. Ah I see you want me to kill and crack eggs? Also wrong mindset, I get the opportunity to commit mass genocide until they loose the will to give us a shiny for your mech? Also side note, managed to grill a friend of mine, with someone else in voice chat, he was starting to get miffed that we were calling them mechs and not frames, so we spent a good 10 minutes of hinm saying, no it's frames, it's literally called Warframe. And we were like, ah, so it's a powersuit, oh so it's cyborg, ah so it's a robot. Cos yeah it didn't matter to use as newbies.

I don't blame you! You should -- oh look! Something shiny! ✨ Lalalala ~~~ ooo, pretty🦋

I'd say you're pretty smart. You left 2 comments at least. That is a kind of warmth that a lot of people lack. I'm not sure what thoughts constitute a good comment but I'm confident that comments like yours and mine often go unconsidered. It seems like we are more social or ignorant about comments. What do you think? Does the world seem cold sometimes?

No. Intelligence is measurable. There is an IQ factor. You cannot feel that you are intelligent or not.

@@Szklana147 Think of "feel" like perceive. Maybe that's what the comment means. 'There are lots of instances were circumstances reveal' seems a bit long. I prefer feel. I prefer to try to understand what is meant when a stranger leaves a comment. Also, there does seem to be a physical reaction present in the case of epiphanies. Should we not call that a feeling?

@@msb8013 Does it matter do you "feel" or do you "perceive"? Both are subjective. IQ is objective.

@@Szklana147 I thought objective meant measurable, like I could publish my findings in a report. A man with a low IQ invents something and makes himself rich and generations to follow...that man feels pretty smart. He followed his epiphany feeling over to the nightstand and wrote the invention. He had been inventive and looked at car motors all day. He had accumulated a few intelligences which lead to his discovery. Do you see?

Interest and pattern recognition is different but interest can serve you well in your willingness to be industrious in those fields

Trust me, the real ones like to be around avarage people. It kind of gets them back to the ground and they need and enjoy it. Almost none of them like to be admired, but likes to share his thoughts very much - SHARE is the keyword here. To them, everyone has a purpose and none of it is less valuable then the other. Usually smarties think that knowledge should more or less be for everyone to obtain.

​@xxxblackvenomxxx I agree-- Sharing knowledge is one of my "special interests." I love learning from others and I enjoy giving someone else an opportunity to learn something new. As a result, I often get asked if I am a teacher. I am not a teacher by profession nor by college diploma. I am a teacher by nature.

The fact that you hang around people that are perceived as more intelligent than you are speaks volumes. Keep doing that, you are shaping and molding ideas, because you like your thought to be challenged. IQ tests are not the be all, end all to intelligence, and here's the kicker, they can change with both time and mood (at time at taking the test) I will give you a massive boost in toolset as well: ask questions, especially in subjects you are interested in, because intelligent people also like sharing knowledge. I can only speak for myself, however I just like watching seeds I so bloom. And I also appreciate it when others do this to me. It's all about confirmation or denial of ideas anyway. Also I do not hold much merit in I tests, cos my IQ is apparently 128, and I'm like, hold up, no, I'm an fool, all I do is ask questions and try to better the self.

@@nicktheninja3166 Yes I agree with you. I have had some brilliant mentors in my life who actually helped shape my entire worldview into something more meaningful and realjust by sharing knowledge.

I am all of these, and I am the opioid addict in my family.

@@Skoopyghost I promise you that propensity for addiction has no correlation to intelligence. Many smart individuals suffer from addiction and alcoholism.

Tesla said that there's no such thing as a genius. You are still that level you just need to get it back. Think of it as a game you starting at level 1 again.

...or you are challenged to prove them wrong!

@@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.

I not only haven’t seen the box, I doubt it exists.

Kahlil Gibran says imperfection=perfection. If you think on it, you will see. I hope this helps.😇

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!

That was me throughout school, bullied for being gifted, but sought after for group projects.

I feel the same way @Jena Halstead. My interests tend to be esoteric and hardly have anyone to talk to about them. It’s a little lonely. But I do find that KZfaq and other outlets on the internet give me a place to really expand on those interests; even though it may be vicarious.

​@@Longroadtotruth same. I took charge, esp in undergrad bc I was chasing A's! Graduated magna cum laude, which was good enough! For law school, however, I was burnt out & didn't shoot for the top 10%. I got the piece of paper to hang on the wall, & that was enough!

I feel like people who really want to be intelligent will more easily agree with the points in this video. Not saying you're lying but I'm pretty sure you don't have all these traits and you're applying some of them to yourself out of need. Having all 15 is highly exceptional and I don't think even the greatest minds of the world have them all.

I feel this! I never really fit in among my peers. People who know me ask me that kind of questions they'd ask Google. Complete strangers spill their life stories on me and we have a good "happy-tears" cry together and they usually accept when I offer a hug.

It's called internet.
