hey there's like to go fans welcome to
another thought-provoking package of
information that we put together just
for you you can find any and all
references used in the description box
below for added insight so let's begin
shall we do you ever wonder why others
don't see the easy solutions to a
problem that you do have you ever felt
like you have a slightly different
thought process from your friends
did they ever marvel at the simple ways
you used to solve their dilemmas or
think the high heavens for your
friendship saving their day if so it
could be a possibility that it's a sign
of higher intelligence we encounter
different problems daily varying from
person to person these problems can be
difficult or simple to solve it is in
these moments when we can actually
realize that we are a lot smarter than
we think and it's quite the common
occurrence as different people displayed
different levels of intelligence
quotient IQ and emotional intelligence
quotient EQ here are certain things that
relate to higher levels of IQ and EQ 1
you do not feel smarter than average
according to the dunning-kruger effect
intelligent people tend to underestimate
their own intelligence as they're more
aware of their own weaknesses by knowing
what they lack they constantly strive
for improvement on the other hand people
who are overconfident about their
capabilities often fall short of the
intelligent mark - you are empathetic so
what is empathy simply put it's the
ability to understand the feelings of
other people empathy as a trait has been
proven to be a sign of higher emotional
intelligence in people empathy is
considered a powerful tool of
communication that aligns with the
concept of emotional intelligence
quotient it involves the ability to
assess our own emotions or the emotions
of others being able to understand
another person's perspectives and
feelings is a sign of emotional
intelligence when we have high EQ were
able to relate to their feelings and
provide support 3 your creative being
creative can be applied to many
different things creativity is a sign of
intelligence also because it shows that
an individual is capable of
thinking outside the box and as
different approaches to the problems
that they encounter the ability to adapt
to situations and adjust their thinking
accordingly is a sign of intelligence
creative individuals also perceive
things in many different ways to gain
more perspectives for you our proactive
rather than reactive a sign that you are
an emotionally intelligent individual is
how you receive information in our lives
it is highly common that people tend to
react immediately after receiving
information about something reacting
immediately allows their emotions to
take control over them as well however
an emotionally intelligent individual
would often take some time to process
the information and think about it but
let's not confuse this as having slow
reactions it means that they would
rather respond appropriately to the
situation rather than react impulsively
although it is normal for people to be
more reactive than proactive being able
to slow things down and respond calmly
is a sign of emotional intelligence as
it shows that the individual is in
control of their emotions 5 you are over
minded according to a study openness to
experience was found to have positive
correlations to levels of intelligence
this means being able to think openly
and being open to new experiences our
signs of intelligence being open to the
perspectives of others helps an
individual form their own no experiences
expose an individual to new ideas and
points of view seeing different
viewpoints introduces the individual to
other ways of thinking before the
formation of their own opinion thus if
you find yourself being open to new
perspectives you may be smarter than you
think 6 you practice self-improvement
you just quarreled with your best friend
and you want things to be ok again so
you choose to apologize first
the ill-will evaporates and the two of
you reconcile having the ability to
apologize shows that an individual is
not prideful even though we find
ourselves not entirely at fault
sometimes we practice self checking to
see how we could have handled the
situation better
in doing so were able to apologize no
matter whose fault it was because not
only do we value the relationship more
than our pride but we're also open to
self-improvement being able to put aside
our pride to save a relationship is a
sign of emotional intelligence as we
know what's more important 7 you crave
to keep learning another sign of
intelligence is to know that learning is
a lifelong experience the desire to
learn displays signs of intelligence
because learning contributes to personal
growth wanting to learn more can also be
perceived as being open to new knowledge
and adopting new ways of thinking which
contributes to signs of intelligence the
desire to learn also encourages
creativity in the thought process which
may be due to a drive for
self-improvement and 8 you're
emotionally aware being emotionally
aware is the sign of emotional
intelligence as it allows an individual
to recognize when they're being
manipulated or used
it helps individuals see through
people's actions and evaluate the
intentions behind them as such
emotionally aware people are better able
to protect themselves from emotional
manipulators having that knowledge can
make an individual potentially cunning
as well although it can be a tool of
manipulation it can also be used to
prevent manipulation so how many of
these signs did you feel that you

feel that we're not as clever as other
