Have you ever doubted your intelligence or ever thought that you have incompetent brain power? Well, do not lose hope because here are 6 signs that you are more intelligent than you think.

1. You are a straight A student

Ok this is pretty obvious, if you get straight A’s in every subject you take, then you are probably more intelligent than the average person around you. This is because straight A students are usually very analytical and use more brain power than the average person.

2. You are a night owl

Recent studies and observations have noticed that people with high IQ levels are usually associated with insomnia. This is due to the fact that their brains are usually filled with so many ideas and thoughts most of the time and their brains are the most active at night causing them to not be able to sleep at night. That is why most of the creative intelligent people do their work at night.

3. You are introverted

Have you ever wondered why that smart friend of yours is always so quiet. Well, its probably because of their high IQ. It has been observed that the smarter you are, the more introspective you are. This is due to the fact that when you have a highly active brain you tend to be in your head most of the time thinking about those never ending ideas. It is also no surprise that introverted people talk less because they almost always think before they talk, which ends up in less words coming out of their mouths.

4. You are disorganized

If you are that person who always forgets where they put their keys, room is usually a mess, is very spontaneous and unpredictable. Well, then you are probably more intelligent than you think. When your brain is overcrowded with ideas and thoughts you tend to get out of touch with the outside present world, causing you to be oblivious to reality which leads to disorganization. Even the famous Albert Einstein's work table was always a mess.

5. You are open minded

The most open minded people in the world are usually the most curious and we all know that curiosity is the wood to the fire of intelligence. If you are open minded, you are more willing to accept new ideas and thoughts, which simply means that you will be the one responsible to experiment on the world and push it’s boundaries which most intelligent people do.

6. You have a bad handwriting

Believe it or not, most intelligent people have the worst handwritings you could ever find in the world. This is caused by the fact that their brains work at a very much more faster rate than they can write, causing their work to look very sloppy. A perfect example of such people are doctors. If you have been to the hospital or clinic you have probably noticed that doctors handwritings are usually very bad.

If you have most of these signs, then congrats! You are probably more intelligent than you think. If you do not, well there are many other traits smart people posses but those are for another article. By the way, having above average intelligence is not everything because every good thing has a bad side. Therefore, even if you are not that intelligent, you obviously have some other cool strengths that intelligent people would kill to have.

So lets all be happy with what we have and use our strengths to our full potential while working on our weaknesses.
