Do you guys like this new animation?

Another thing: you can do difficult things but the easy ones confuse you.

0:30 Being messy. 1:08 Cursing a lot. 1:42 Being a night owl. 2:02 Taking cold showers. 2:34 Talking to yourself. 2:58 Criticizing yourself. 3:32 Doodling a lot. 4:10 Daydreaming. 4:46 Wanting to be alone.

Weirdly enough, almost all of these describe me, except for the cold showers thing, I CANT STAND cold showers. The introverted thing I'm on the fence about. It really depends on what mood I and the people around me are in. I would say that it's about a 50/50 shot, but besides that, everything but the cold showers describe my habits perfectly.

I somehow relate to all of the signs, no wonder I was getting shouted at my parents for being so messy, especially when I doodle on my notebook. I tend to daydream and talk to myself for no reason and my family just stares at me weirdly. I was starting to criticize myself for being the weird one or whatever. Turns out I was actually a highly intelligent person?! I can finally understand myself thanks to this video!

"The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination." - Albert Einstein

In conclusion, being smart is being weird, but that's okay because you're smart.

Most of these describe me, but the social introversion thing depends on my mood, and who I'm around/where I am. Also, I don't do cold showers unless I don't have another option. I would also like to add that these things are very broad and can apply to a lot of people, intelligent, or not. I've known intelligent people with these traits, but also people that I wouldn't exactly classify as mensa members by any stretch of the imagination.

I love the anime references! A few of these hit home, but I don't really see myself as intelligent. Just overly curious when something actually catches my interest. 😬

Having a high intelligence can be something of a curse/burden, especially when the general public is involved with its stereotypes and expectations. The struggle is VERY REAL.

I thought I was just a weirdo and an introvert but I do almost all of these, the outlier being cold showers. I know it doesn’t immediately mean I’m intelligent but I’d like to think of myself as a person above average intelligence wise.

For the daydreaming, I don’t daydream necessarily, but I do like imagining little situations with half of my brain’s processing. I often carry a string or flexible stick around with me because I can flick it a little quickly if I want to get a clearer picture of what I’m imagining. I also like talking out loud, and often go into a mumble when I lose confidence in what I’m saying mid-sentence to really think about it. It’s also really easy for me to go on tangents because I have so much to say and no immediate way to write it down, and oftentimes if I’m excited about something I’ll just talking to them without addressing them ( I don’t do this in public) because I feel comfortable in that space and so I forget some formalities. Also for the thing about more extensive vocabulary, I hate potty humor and people saying poop, I much prefer saying feces due to its rhythmic and fancier nature. I often like watching combat but avoid actual fights at all costs, even if I could take someone. If it’s both nonfiction and someone could get greatly injured, I don’t want to inflict that or have it inflicted on me. I also find it extremely easy to continue conversations even from a single prompt, but starting them is pretty darn difficult for me. I also love compromise, hating both people’s total opinions but loving to find the silver lining within. On a similar note, I’ll always start coming up with a different version of a game or system if it bores me or seems wrong, theory crafting mechanics, fixes, etc.

Messy could also mean lazy... and that being a perfectionist may also relate to OCD... daydreaming might mean empty~headedness... keeping alone can also be misanthropy and xenophobia... so all or some of the above could apply to some people but it doesn't mean that they are highly intelligent. So, what you shared was quite fun and I may fool myself for awhile that I am intelligent. Live Long and Prosper!

Man, I don’t just daydream, I have a full on paracosm with lore, a complete timeline and character development.

So many of the videos on your channel are relatable. Various topics too all relatable. One of my favorite channels to date

people who stay up late watching tiktok and doing nothing: "wow im intellegent because i stay up late!" depression anxiety and death: *sits there menacingly*

As someone who is interested in philosophy; another sign of being highly intelligent is challenging people's perspective. By asking why they think that way about a certain subject, you gain insight into their point of view. Not only that, but you could also give your point of view and exchange perspectives. Unfortunately, 60% of this turns into a right vs wrong competition 😕 However, the thing about philosophy is that there is no one answer. That's why I enjoy challenging others way of seeing something.

“This does not kill people” I laughed my ass off 😂

Aight so: Messy, check Curse alot, check criticize myself and is open to admitting mistakes and learning new things, check Talk to myself alot (Usually 1-hour long talks about my current view of the world and sometimes about politics), check Likes and desire to be alone, check Yeah I don't feel smart at all maybe I'm just really weird

I talk to my self a lot and my replay to everyone who asks me what I'm doing is ''Talking to my self, becouse you need to talk with someone smart once in a while''

I think the creator of this video is highly intelligent. She managed to trick everyone who watched this video into thinking they're "highly intelligent" by choosing common habits (especially among teenagers) and presenting them in a way that makes them seem unique. Of course, that isnt to say that she isn't correct or that there are no highly intelligent people watching this video, but the video itself is bs. It's just people pleasing for views instead of providing decent information.

"Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change." - Stephen Hawking

I can handle short cold showers, and instead of doodling, I read everything. The first thing I see, the hazard sticker on the side of a water heater, anything. Also, I curse a ton, but only in my head or when I'm alone, never in front of people. Great video, I loved it!!

you just animated my whole life i was surprised when i saw all the things i do, but there's a problem in my class i'm known as an average boy instead of a highly intelligent person

the daydreaming one just defines me.

•Talking to myself •Staying alone •Criticising myself

Love the Death Note reference. 😁 A few of these habits in me were not something I could develop even when I wanted to do so bc my parents and teachers were quite particular about things like doodling in books, talking to myself out loud. I do talk to myself in my own head all day long though. I'm thinking of developing doodling as a hobby now. Also, I only take cold showers when I'm emotionally exhausted and overwhelmed.

Oh man... I'm a complete moron, I'm not gonna have a single one of these. "First on the list is a tendency to be messy." I'M A GENIUS!

As an introverted psychopathic sadistic maniac with schizophrenia and coffee addiction, ie a fucked up sleep cycle, I see this as an absolute win!

The thing about being messy, my personal space is very messy. But my work space, is as organized as it could possibly get.

A lot of these habits describe me. As a kid I did daydream, I am a messy person, I am a night owl, I talk to myself and I prefer to work alone. But...lot of people associated that with my mental handicap of being mildly autistic and a lot of them thought of me as retarded and not able to take care of myself. If my parents were still alive they would see right now just how wrong they are.

"Highly Intelligent Person" also known as ADHD for a lot of us. That's why I love learning about Albert Einstein, he's extremely suspected to have had ADHD and his assistant berated him for it. he had no sleep schedule, constantly worked through the nights, and his office was messy af. Goals.

Yes! Everything in this video applies to me, except the cold showers. The loneliness thing is such an extreme for me and I love it. I get told all the time by my friends and family that I’m weird for that, and that at this age I should be pursuing relationships, and to that I say NO. Whoever out there (that means you, reader) if you read this, you’re the GOAT, and I hope you have a great day.

Your voice is just so calming, I could listen to you for hours

"Talking to yourself" - there's actually a very simple reason for this. Have you ever noticed that sometimes while you're asking someone a question you figure out an answer to it? Personally I noticed that while trying to compose a precise question, asking for help with a problem, I often figured out the answer myself. So I just started doing exactly that without bothering anyone first: ask myself the question. Saying it out loud just helps put it into actual words.

As if I wasn't already convinced that my son was very smart, he and I both share most if not all of these traits. Except doodling. I did back in jr high and high school, but not as an adult. My son loves to create mythical type creatures with different abilities and can tell you all about them. He prefers creative type games and loves to come up with ideas for new ones as well. He's 8

Somehow I have almost all these habits,daydreaming,being messy,cursing a lot,being a night owl,talking to myself,criticising myself,doodle a TON, and wanting to be alone, yet I always score average on tests but I thing my deductive skills cancel it out,I’ve solved many riddles in 5 mins or less and I feel like I should be proud of that,but other than that I don’t really have any other talents so I guess I’m a mid

This list described me very well. Thank you! :D

HELL YEAH, STEINS:GATE REFERENCES! Dude in all seriousness this was SCARILY accurate to my usual behaviors. Except the one about the cold showers.

I'm a writer and when I daydream scenes or dialogue in my head, I find myself giggling to myself... I'm worried people think I'm a psycho 😅

BEST OF: 1:42 Being a night owl. 2:02 Taking cold showers. 2:34 Talking to yourself. 2:58 Criticizing yourself.

"ONLY Smart people have" No, some "Smart People" actually go to sleep early because it helps their brain rest, Albert Einstein got 8-10 hours of sleep every night, sleep also helps memory too, love your videos Psych2Go!

I can relate 8 out the 9 things mentioned in this video and it generally shocked me. I don't see my self to being smart because I only score averagely on tests, but my problem solving skills, my general knowledge on random things, and how I react to problems probably why I might be an intelligent person.

I love researching topics of interest. I can spend hours focusing my attention on one subject. The challenge for me is to know everything about the subject so that I can effectively present my case in a discussion, or use the knowledge to better myself. It’s always a challenge finding other deep thinkers, so prefer the freedom of being alone with my thoughts.

All of these habits totally shows myself. The cursing a lot and wanted to be alone really explains me.

This is fascinating! Where did you get your information?

As an weird introvert and a smart kid, this is all true for me and Soo accurate.i do all of this almost everyday...yep normal.

Outside of taking cold showers, I have done all of these things throughout my life. I've been told I'm rather intelligent, just lack the formal education. 💁

OMG I am now convinced that sharing only two of these traits places me squarely in the unicellular realm 😊

Yes, I do, it Adds to the presentation, and engages More of our senses, too make it a longer kept- lesson... Thank You. 🤠

I know someone who fits all of these stereotypes besides cold shower. She’s incredibly smart yet never feels like it 😭

Absolutely ADORED the S;G and Death Note references. As for how much of the vid applies to me, basically everything except the cold showers

Voted most profane in my senior class, a messy night owl who talks to myself but refuses to listen, humble to a virtue, doodling to good enough, daydreaming in cold showers, tend to be alone at the demand of those around me, I am often thought to be highly intelligent by those who don't know me very well. Those who do know me also think me highly intelligent, but wonder why it so rarely shows.

Cold Showers don't work for those of us that have temperature issues for some reason (example, prematurity or med-related low temperature regulation). I have everything but that, though it's b/c im ALWAYS cold, so no cold showers. I think a lot of people can't, but more for body-temp reasons than brain-related ones (those w/cancer have troubles regulating internal temp too; many reasons may cause someone to).

Something I find interesting is that Leonardo da Vinci, who was extremely smart seems to have a lot of these characteristics

I remember when I first started at university, the people (especially the professors) I met had different behaviors than regular people. I would describe it as; Focused, reserved, humble, intellectual sharpness and self-driving inertia to learn more about their specialized field. If I had to describe it, it was like changing from kindergarten to high school, the environment was more pure and less uncontrolled emotions, it is like growing up a second time, so to speak. I really loved to ask them to show me their passionate work; I loved to peak into new fields of knowledge I could hardly comprehend.

I think everyone here doesn't realize that the definition of smart isn't always in the context of being good at calculating, analyzing, memorizing, or something academic like that, but it is also non-academic. Everyone is smart in their own way.

128. Your videos has helped me alot. Thank you.🙏🏻

I relate to all of these.. people thought the part about taking long cold showers in a really cold season was weird but now I feel justified. I also talk to myself a whole lot, doodle in almost all classes, and day dream. Solitude is also really nice a lot of times. It allows for deep work Thanks, psych2go for explaining these.

I can relate to most of these but I'd never consider myself smart😅

I have all of these but problem is when you tell anyone that you like to talk to yourself they think the person is mad but actually not

I would add that intelligent people don't enjoy engaging in meaningless conversations, although it might just be a personal trait of mine as an introvert :)

Wow, this animation really brightened the way of how I see myself. I was thinking that I could be a highly(not that much) intelligent person before watching this one. After watching and analysing those habits which were defined in this video; now, I am %100 sure that I am neither a highly intelligent nor intelligent person. Thanks for your help @Psych2Go. Please keep making videos like this

If school didn't exist, I'd be a night owl. My brain is just more active at night, but because school needs me to wake up at 7:00AM, I CAN'T. :(

Me: "yes i am messy, yes i do curse, yes i am a night owl, yes i do take cold showers, yes i talk to myself, yes i do criticize myself, yes i do doodling, yes i do daydream, YES I'M ALWAYS WANTING TO BE ALONE"

The moment when every single point is true But you know that YOU can not be intelligent

Wow, I have everything they mentioned except for cold showers. I just hate cold showers, showering is just my way to be warm, relaxed, and get clean. Also fun fact: hot water cleans better than cold water.

1 - mostly 2 - everyday 3 - just watch enjoy my night on the internet or have random thoughts of problem that needs to be solved 4 - no 5 - everyday 6 - mostly 7 - no but i am spaced out day dreaming 8 - yes just as i said earlier 9 - people force me to not be alone while i want to Conclusion: Still is bad at school but just lacks attention

I definitely connect with this in some ways as I talk to myself sooo much, like I have a habit of echolalia or Re explaining things to myself or saying the order of things out loud or being like "should I say that" out loud, not to mention I always have this feeling of not being able to talk to people how I want and having to dumb down my vocabulary and random daydreaming thought processes just to feel normal, also helps I've had a college grade reading level since I was in 4th grade, but I hate calling myself smart or intelligent as it makes me feel narcissistic and I often make stupid mistakes so I tend to refrain from using those terminologies

YES. Working alone at night is literally the best. I cannot do any work in school unless I’m blasting music to the point I can’t hear anything because too many distractions. Even the lights flickering and small whoosh of a breeze make me loose focus. It’s a double-edged sword though. Broken ears and having to motivate myself

I relate to all the habits. Never thought I was smart tho 😅 glad to know I could be one

I like how you asked if we feel like we're intelligent but one of the facts you said says they criticize themselves a lot

i can relate my self with 4/9 habits 1) i cursing a lot 2) being a night owl 3) i am doodling a lot 4) being alone

I think that with me growing up being in gifted tests and not worrying about tests all throughout middle school, especially when I took math a grade ahead of me, I never struggled. But at the start of high school I had terrible habits and started to fail classes since I couldn't take notes or study, and in my classes that taught that, was one of the hardest classes. While people that struggled in middle school, had higher grades on tests and more assignments turned in.

I loved the Steins;Gate and Death Note references! You got a wonderful voice and your videos are always so good. I recognize myself into 7 of these 9 habits xD

doodling a lot, cursing, being messy, talking to yourself, taking cold showers all the things i normally do..

I got 6/9 Oh lord. The habits I don't have are wanting to be alone, daydreaming and cold showers, tho, I love getting drenched in heavy rain when it happens.

I do all outside of the cold showers depending on the situation. Though, I do like to switch from hot to cold at times while showering. I daydream way too much though. My sleep dreams are also incredibly vivid and amazing as well, but they do help me get things done or express new ways to show off my inner world when I combine them with music and shop on Etsy to help find things that match what I'm going for. I also cuss so much, I forget that my boss is my boss when I'm speaking to him with 0 filter lmao! I'm watching this at night since I'm a lot more productive at this time, so I work from home from 12am-8am. The peace at night is quite soothing when it's undisturbed by others that are incredibly talkative when the sun is up. I know a lot of things and tend to be a very deep thinker, but I'm no genius. As stated, there are different types of intellect. I know what I know and love to learn more if it's something I'm fascinated with.

Well most of the people are here to check if they are smart lol

I thought i was crazy whenever i talk to myself

My family considers me deranged cause I talk to myself as if there was somebody to speak with. Yet this is the time I usualy have the best ideas and find solutions.

Doodling on my homework was actually due to my ADHD. Teachers always tried to catch me not paying attention, but dividing my focus made it so I could actually concentrate so I always had the answer. They always left me alone after awhile

I do literally all of these with an EXCEPTION of cold showers, but everything else fits me like a lot

I relate to most of this. Also, I talk to myself, but I do it in my head. Sometimes I even make up conversations in my mind, explain things to myself even though I already understand it, and repeat the things in my head that I’ve already said, usually to perfect it, even though I’m not even saying it to anyone, it’s all to myself. Also it can get really annoying, and give me problems with sleep and focus. I just can’t keep my mind quiet, and I keep thinking about random stuff, even if it’s not important. I just want peace from thinking, but no matter how hard I try, my brain is gonna do something to mess it up, like creating a noise, showing an image, or speaking a word, I can’t make it stop. The best way to get rid of it, is distractions, but that occasionally doesn’t work either, and my mind just distracts me from the distraction. I typically have minor headaches as well, but that might be more because of my sleep, and also lack of drinking, because I don’t drink much. Sometimes I don’t even drink a bottle’s worth of liquid each day.

I once made an entire calculator in Desmos for a single math problem. Probably my only great mathematic achievement, but still I was a very proud gal that day.

0:35 makes sense, why clean if it technically doesn't do anything besides make the area look better, plus if you have stuff to do like einstein or something, you prob have more important stuff to do

4:50 I screamed "that's definitely L" then she showed light in the next clip hehe

I LOVED THE STEINS;GATE REFERENCE SO MUCHHHHHHH

Great video! And the death note characters in 9 were so cute fr! ❤️

9 of 9, I always have an issue with lists like this because they feel like they're designed to be an ego boost. I wish they offered more answers to the problems that come with these signs. I struggle with jobs because I value purpose and motivation greatly. I also don't like being a stress relief outlet for managers that a stressed. My work is stressful too, but instead of taking that out on other people I choose to make them laugh and feel less stressed. Perfectionist: I've had a saying for as long as I remember "there is no such thing as perfection, only the drive to achieve it is possible." I'm a perfectionist that doesn't believe in perfection. That just adds to my depression.

Yes, Steins; Gate and Death Note references. This is the superior video. "this Does not kill people" is literally Death Note in a nutshell. That's like the whole show.

- I'm messy and apparently creative - I curse a lot when I create or program stuff - I like working at night - I talk a lot to myself (essentially swearing and cursing) - I can't help myself; when I see an imperfection (like me), I correct it (except correcting idiots is hard) - I doodle a lot - I daydreamed a lot in high school Conclusion; F*ck, I still have the right to believe that I'm stupid.

Here's another one, that is very important in my opinion: highly intelligent people usually know that they're highly intelligent. It's that sort of "I'm smart enough to know I'm smart" logic.

2:27 Thank you for showing me this scientific diagram of human anatomy. I now have a medical Ph.D

That's a nice reference to Steins;Gate, IM A MAD SCIENTIST!, Hououin Kyouma! 😎

The way that all of this is so relatable… and also describes a lot of INTPs

i'm all of these things, except for the drawing part, i can't do it on paper, i have to picture it in my head, you might call it "spacing out", i call it "thinking of new ways to do things"

1:11 Is that a Gordon Ramsay reference LMAO

The fact that I do/am all these things BUT the cold showers just says that I’m not a monster. My friends may describe me as crazy, but I’m not crazy enough to take a _LONG_ and _COLD_ shower, that’s for sure.

Each of these describes me accurately, but this gives me the impression that these habits that usually pass unnoticed outside our private sphere, could be more common than we think. Couldn't that be so?
