"they have discussions and arguments with themselves". This is so true. 🤣

I wish you all the positivity in this negative world!

Fun fact - in the thumbnail it showed that the people who watch T.V are ordinary. But he wants us to see youtube on mobile so that we can be extra- ordinary

The thing wich frustrates me most in life is when I'm just saying something in general and people become very defensive. I'm like oh no I wasnt criticizing you Im just analyzing the situation and looking for a solution.

At age 6 I was already learning Latin and the piano. I hated it all at first but 4 languages and 2 instruments later IM SO GREATFUL SOMEONE GOT MEGOING AT 6 because it’s a BIG BEAUTIFUL WILD WORLD OUT THERE AND I HAD TO SEE IT ALL. THANK U GOD. MY BEST TO YOU ALL.

Strong identity, Lifelong goals, Keeping the peace,

Number 20 also isn't always the case. Very intelligent people might struggle with doing "easy" things. Either because they just dislike doing them or because it's just not their thing. The things we see as "normal" might seem very strange for intelligent people and they might not be able to do the "normal" things in life.

*I will succeed for my parents, for all they have made for me!! I hope you will too!!*

*"you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.”* *If you are reading this, never ever give up, we have potential to accomplish our Goals and will succeed. I am cheering for you.* Have a very good day!.

Signs of high intelligence can vary, but some common traits might include strong problem-solving skills, quick learning abilities, adaptability, critical thinking, and creativity. High intelligence often involves being curious, open-minded, and able to see patterns and connections others might miss. However, intelligence is complex and can manifest differently in individuals, so these traits aren't definitive indicators of high intelligence in all cases.

Diversity of thought and reflection is one of my mantras . . . Thanks for sharing !

This is excellent, great encouragement, for us all out here👍👍👍

I separate emotional and social "intelligence" from intellectual cognitive abilities. Much of this is really about the former.

I love this because I fall under most categories except being a left handed person. I never claim to being a genius except when it came to medicine because its my passion. I can at least claim not being below average ^^ I also was called weird because I'm an introvert and I enjoy my solo dates in restaurants because I really do enjoy it since I have so many things to do while being alone. Reading books on my phone or just watch a romcom on my phone. I feel anxious being surrounded by people because its just too much for me too handle. Quiet places are calm and soothing. I can think better. I also may not be a genius because I love clean places. Chaos and clatter is too distracting :D

Interesting content but I think you forgot to include people with good sense of humor. Extreme level of sarcasm 🤣🤣

Just a couple of quick observations. The key to improving at chess is developing pattern recognition, like learning when the position is ripe for a sacrificial attack on the h7 square. And it's not superstition when there is objective evidence, like the thousands of videos of UFOs, or when you have personally experienced ghost phenomena.

Need to keep working on these traits. 👍

If you see signs that you’re a genius, don’t ignore them!

Of course these kind of people motivate and inspire themselves,they read and understand the emotions of another one,so they find a wise solution to support and always their thinking is out of the box!!!

Thanks for this video mate 🙏🙏👌👌👌

Great compilation, thank you. I have a mild objection to #3 because I often observed (in my 58 years of life) that high-IQ people had difficult time when surrounded by idiots, and reacted undiplomatically to them or failed to keep peace in such environmnent. Thus, would you make a list/compilation of what high-IQ people can't tolerate?

Thankyouuu very beautiful message🔥

A strong sense of identity is more of an emotional, than intellectual trait.

Many of these things ring true, but being exceptionally intelligent creates its own serious problems in terms of fitting into our current global society, which values mediocrity and conformity. Exceptionally intelligent people tend to be marginalized by their peers because they are attempting to communicate on a more philosophical, big-picture level that average people struggle to see. They get bullied because others are jealous of their intellect. They run into huge difficulties in the workplace when they question arbitrary, controlling, stagnating rules and norms. There's a reason why historically, a huge number of exceptionally gifted people either struggled with substance abuse or died at an early age, or both. Being able to see and understand the gestalt when most people around you are only looking at things on a two-dimensional, superficial level leaves you feeling profoundly alone and frustrated. The only solution is to seek out others like yourself. The internet has made this easier, but life is still no cakewalk, especially when you hold yourself to a high standard because you're always pushing for the next challenge. To be profoundly intelligent is to be profoundly lonely, much of the time.

One of my hypothesis was challenged with, “if you’re right the whole world is wrong” to which I replied, “What’s your point?”

I see a problem with number 1. Highly intelligent people will see how their personality changes all the time and will also try to change it for the better all the time. Humans are capable of changing almost everything about themselves and highly intelligent people are very aware of that fact. They might also always think about the things they do and how they act, so I believe a very intelligent person might actually not have a very strong personality because they try to create the very best version of themselves which they might never really find.

Hey guys! You should make an app "Top Think"! Your graphics and aesthetics are so "feelgood"! There are a lot of apps about lists, habits and routines, but if you made one looking like your videos, it would be amazing!

Is it possible that I nailed all 20? 20/20 is clearly genius? Haha. Great video, Top Think has to one of the best channels ever! The narrator needs to do a face reveal, I feel like he's a long time friend. Blessings.

I see my self in all of the signs 😃😃😃. Good video... I recommend...

Top Think Is Awesome! Thank you for this great content!

Thanks for the compliment

These were good. I don’t know if I am intelligent but I am left handed, I write humor, I see patterns. Even though I am not working I am teaching myself Koine Greek. There was a time when I called my sister and told her I disagreed with myself about something and needed to talk it out.

Honestly, i fit a lot into these points, but everything i built in my life is either falling apart or crumbling down.

I call tosh. Intelligence has to be intelligence of something, be it music, narratives or acrostics. It is not like an all-purpose luminosity that penetrates into the dark corners of anything and everything. "Society should not judge anyone with unilateral standards - everyone has different learning levels, hopes, talents, and dreams and we should respect that. " - Kim Unh-Yong (IQ of 200+)

I love connecting the dots. I can relate to this video.

you guys have to acknowledge the fact that our minds work in different ways and these might be just resemblances, not the fact or the must-have traits of highly intelligent people so you can have arguments about some of them. and I like the fact that most people watch this then being totally related. as if in this world there are so many intelligent people

WOW! I DIDNT KNOW THIS. THANK YOU!😎👌💯

to me, looks like these are generic traits that almost all people would have, in this way everyone can say they are extremely intelligent

I love hearing this!

The last one is true. I keep finding myself becoming lazy.

Messy people being smart... I agree. My landlord is something of a hoarder, but always knows where stuff is and very well read and quite intelligent. Love his company.

Every individual is unique. So it does & doesn't apply to every individual.

Sounds like my dad, aside from keeping the peace. He loved a good scrap, and wasn't afraid to speak his mind

Can anyone tell me where he gets his stock animations and the software he uses for these videos please?

Some of these apply to too many...liking games...debating ... The interest in patterns was new to me and I think like that a lot..even in art I make..history..politics..room design..!

10:34 - If there is any connection with it, I think it is mainly because objects, everyday environments and expectations of their use created by people are for the most common needs. Since most people are right-handed, most of these will be designed to provide comfortable operation for right-handed people: for example, driving the right side of the road, the handshake must be done with the right hand, placing buttons on the pad or placing computer equipment on the desk in the school room (the mouse will usually be on the right). This additional creativity of left-handed people, therefore, probably comes from their constant struggle with the environment adapted for right-handed people. They have to spend much more time adapting to specific requirements and finding often unique solutions from the use of everyday objects, which in turn translates into an increase in their creativity (they spend more time thinking about it, especially in childhood).

I'm an INTJ and I approve this message🤓

I have this selective memory issue... I walk out the door, SWEARING that I've got everything; not moments later, I'm rushing back up the stairs and hunting around for the thing or things I'd forgotten. Sometimes it's the most CRUCIAL thing to my plans for that day! So, I've had to learn to create these TO GO BAGS. I have multiple varieties of the same things; because sometimes one to go bag is much like the other with only a crucial difference: When I wound up having too many to go bags; I switched up and made a list of the most crucial things I needed in general and then a list of the more specific items; combined that list and now only use 1-3 to go bags; but have boxes filled with those crucial items; that way I can switch out very quickly. I used to lose the to go bags, my keys, my wallet, my phone, my favorite jacket; so I had to learn to create a SPACE where these things could reliably be found; and then I researched the HABIT CYCLE; that way I could learn to form a habit or switch one out fairly quickly. This habit, would make sure that I always dropped my keys, wallet, and whatever else in the same spot each time. I'm super creative; but I need to blend that with a kind of revolving routine. When I was in the Marines, or at school, that wasn't all that necessary; but I've found that one of the greatest meta skills is the skill of creating your own structure; and then learning how to FLOW in and out of those structures ORGANICALLY. This has profoundly helped me overcome a lot of my own personally and highly vexing challenges. Peace. DM

I have observed that the few people I knew who had high IQs and were chessmasters, needed help just getting through the day with normal activities. Their understanding of social interaction was minimal and frustrations ran high. It makes me wonder what they actually contributed to society beyond mastering a chess game and finishing a crossword puzzle in ten minutes.

Thank you! I love self psychology.

Thank you very much.

Most of these things apply, even being left-handed, hell, I'm even left eye dominant. Some do not, in a big way. I'm notoriously lazy, I rarely self-motivate. I feel I could be a great writer. I buy journals all the time, but never use them. I chalk that up to fear. I'm somew somewhere in between.

I have a go getter mindset!

I have 18/20 of these traits . But i dont think that all these indicate true charisma , cause the most of these traits can be learned and followed by someone who doesnt need extreme intelligence to manage them . Nevertheless all these traits are very usefull at everyday life and can make someone more inteligent than he was . Intelligent lifestyle is something that you can practice with , and change completly the quality and the sense of your life (sorry for bad english ,it is not my native language)

I wasn't looking for this video, but it showed up and I listened (not much to see here). I felt like it was describing me. As much as I would like to settle into the smug sell-realization that I may actually be extremely intelligent, I can't avoid the sensation of smoke being blown......

Everyone right now, I check 18 out of the 20, I must be extremely intelligent.

Wow! you really understand.

I do get into fights but I am excellent at reading body language and emotions

As a psychology master's student and member of mensa I feel qualified to say that this list is bunk. Most of these traits and behaviours are neither required nor necessarily indicative of extreme intelligence.

Great video..✌️🌞🌿

I like this video! Thanks! xo

Great video

@topthink team it would be great ti have a summary at the end of video

Someome explain this to my family.🤯

Patterns for sure ! ❤

So true 🙌

from which source did you get it?

A lot of these things apply to me but my grades in school were straight up terrible. I barely passed high school.

The conclusion of watching this video: All people are intelligent!!

I got all 20 signs. Im right handed but sometimes I write with my left hand to enhance creativity.

I almost have them all!! I use my left hand frequently but not when writing though… I mostly feel I’m weird somehow and some people even think am crazy !! But I don’t give a damn!

This presentation is such a Anglo-saxon Eurocentric view point😇

Dopamine is the reason to interest some activaty. Weather its intelligent work. "Then practice makes perfect"

I think that THIS THE BEST VIDEO THAT YOU EVER DID, I know bc I am old in this channel. And It´s truth the people that use their left hand are most intellegent, I have a friend his name is Omar and he is so bright, and my cousin is so good with math and calculando juegos en dominos, Lo que no entiendo es Why the people who know get solutions to the problems of each day, isn´t intelligent?

4:13 I have an extremely empty minimal work space that is also a super nice private work space for scientists but small amounts of organic mess in my personal work spaces but mostly empty cabinets & closets I do not sit I stand or lay down but I sit when working with others studying my mother was a hoarder so I cannot have to much piles of crap or piles stuff around otherwise it gives me anxiety anxiety I generally never have even in very stressful situations I am okay with a little work mess but I prefer very clinically minimal empty spaces with amazing art & functional objects & items from nature & scientific tools & computers

Yes, a lot on my mind

So you are telling me I'm not extremely intelligent?

Pattern recognition- what pathologists do for a living and I found it came naturally

Excellent video but maybe a tiny bit too dogmatic. My husband is a brilliant man with a PhD in artificial intelligence and he hates games.

Thumbs up !

2:43 I had to update this a few months ago, because of the damage that the covid Pandemic that happened to me. Since this December 2023 I can do this.

Thanks

I equate faith with intelligence... doubt destroys intelligence...

the last word you say perfectly describes me... i dont want easy road.. i want excitement and challenge

Hallelujah brother

Clear and true …

I always enjoy these types of videos, I'm left handed and a hip hop artist who is very competitive, I used to compete in sports and chess tournaments! I'm not perfect, but I've always felt different from the usual crowd all my life.

im confident yet extremely insecure all at the same time.... proly a result of being hated for my genius qualities all my life

As an intelligent individual I agree with most points in this video

I'm not playing chess but I can play all the words we have in our country and until now I cant find any chess genius playing their own languages they have in their own country like mine, this is how you will based the humans for their beings

You just read out a description of me.

I’m only ambidextrous because of the “ruler.” Lol. Right hand is designated for writing and drawing. Everything else is done by the left hand but will use the right hand when needed. I guess getting hit with a ruler and learning how to use your non dominant hand pays off in the long run.

This video fully represents me

Love ❤️ yourself

I see it's like 80% matches but the worst part is I know I cant be one of such intelligent person

I also see a problem with 19. This point gives the impression that left handed people are always more intelligent. It also gives the impression that right handed or ambidextrous people can never be intelligent. I do believe the chance of being more intelligent as a left handed person might be higher, but I think right handed or ambidextrous people can also be as intelligent or even more intelligent than left handed people. Number 19 is also purely based on the percentage of people who were tested and were highly intelligent while all the other points have to do with the personality traits or other traits of intelligent people. Because of the above I think number 19 shouldn't be on this list. I did like the video though, so thank you for making it! Even though I have some criticism I didn't dislike the video and I'd love to see more of this content!

Lol this is so relatable!
