Oh well, I’m a genius, me…
Some of the greatest minds, such as Albert Einstein and Charles Darwin, exhibited strange behaviors like solitude and burning the midnight oil.
And while the world may have found those habits as odd, numerous studies have linked them to having high IQs.
That is because our daily practices have a big impact on our intelligence – and can even change the way we think.
And psychologists have pinpointed at least seven strange behaviors that they believe are signs of a genius.
Six out of seven, easily. The staying up late at night, not so much. However, I would rather stay up than rise early. It’s having to get up for work that gets me to bed early. I’m an owl rather than a lark, so seven ish, I guess…
My current paramour is less than impressed by my penchant for clutter, but that’s another matter.
That said, it might all be bollocks.
I’m not introverted and I’m a morning person rather than a night owl. The other five are spot on. Since I’ve so far failed to make a major scientific discovery or win a Nobel prize, I think that this study might be bollox.
A great many people are like that. Not too surprising really that some of them are geniuses. So yes, bollox.
That said, they say great minds think alike …
Geniuses (genii?) do this, this, this and this. I do this, this, this and this, therefore I’m a genius. Hooray!
There is absolutely no logical fallacy involved there at all. 🙂
I have made several major scientific discoveries and I have won several Nobel Prizes, so I can say categorically that there are eight characteristics rather than seven.
They’ve missed out pathological liar…
“our daily practices have a big impact on our intelligence”
How do they know which is cause and which is effect?
