“Signs” of Intelligence . . . That Actually Don’t Mean You’re Smart

There’s a forum online where people are talking about things some people might THINK are a sign of intelligence . . . but they’re actually not.  Here are a few of the good ones:

1.  Being a contrarian.  “Disagreeing with everything is as lazy as believing everything.”

2.  Just having a good memory.  Or knowing a lot of trivia.

3.  Fast talking.

4.  Using “academic jargon” and long-winded terminology.  “Just because you know a couple fancy words doesn’t mean you’re intelligent.”  And you better make sure you’re using the big words appropriately.

5.  Having a YouTube channel.  It doesn’t make you an authority on a subject.

6.  Education.  Good grades or advanced degrees are not automatically a reflection of your intelligence.

7.  Wearing glasses.

8.  Being old.
