Most often, people who have received a higher education or come from conventionally aristocratic families are considered the most intelligent. But scientists insist that these factors are by no means automatic guarantors of high IQ. Let's find out what science has to say about this and what signs of high intelligence are called by leading researchers.
1. Good ear for music
A connection has long been established between an excellent ear for music from childhood and the ability of a person with it to learn another language or even several languages. But British scientists have found out in the course of research that the presence of a musical ear from early childhood indicates a high IQ!
2. Intolerance of large companies, the presence of a very narrow circle of friends
British scientists have found out in the course of research that highly intelligent people are comfortable and interesting to be alone or in the circle of one close friend or partner (sometimes one or two friends), and the need to constantly communicate with a wide circle of acquaintances of the second and third circle, as well as with relatives at something like a family table during the holiday, tires such people and does not give them pleasure. Also, people with high IQ can talk out loud to themselves - this also indicates a high intelligence, and not at all that they are a little cuckoo.
3. Dislike of talking on the phone
In the 21st century, intelligent people prefer communication through instant messengers, and they simply hate telephone conversations, especially long ones. The answer is simple. A highly intelligent person believes that by calling from he will violate the personal space of another person and will most likely distract him from an important habitual business or work. Therefore, correspondence in the messenger, according to intellectuals, makes it possible for each of the interlocutors to communicate only when there is time and desire for it. Intellectuals only call when there is an urgent and urgent need.
4. Doing sports through "I don't want to"
European scientists in chorus declare that going to the gym, made with an absolutely light heart and generally not delivering psychological discomfort, is a sign of people with average intelligence and below. But people with high intelligence always feel that they could do something more useful, but … SHOULD. Going to sports training, which is made with the overcoming of one's own laziness, is an indicator of high intelligence. This is what, according to scientists, explains the modern boom of the so-called phyto-babies - people with low aikyu who run to the gym eagerly even 6 times a week, because it is during sports training that they should not perform any mental tasks at all, and they have enough just follow the instructions of the coach. Monotonous physical activity does not require the involvement of the mind. But intellectuals during sports, as studies have shown, constantly think about something, as a result of which training seems to them a burden, but at the same time they are grateful for the excellent results that the body receives after training. Such is the hard work!
5. Lack of excess weight
There are statistics in the world showing that for many centuries history practically does not record a single genius with obesity. When a person is fat, he devotes 90 percent of his thought time to thinking about how to get enough. Saturation is incompatible with intellectual activity. Overweight occurs in 80 percent of cases in people with low IQ and the resulting unwillingness to live long (the desire to eat excludes the desire to be active, which leads to early death).
6. Early reading fluency skills
People with the highest IQs report that they could read as early as 4 years old. But the most interesting thing is that the overwhelming majority of them … have no idea how they learned to read. They just don't remember it !!! This skill came to them in the same way as the skill of putting on clothes or eating.
7. Irritation due to repetitive sounds
Top German and Scandinavian scientists recently conducted a study that revealed a sensational link between high intelligence and irritability due to repetitive sounds. These sounds most often include the sounds of eating food, monotonous clicks (neurotic clicking of a fountain pen, computer mouse button, etc.), coughing, creaking floors, noisy breathing of a sick person or a smoker breathing in incense, sucking in a sick person's nose (so opponents of the institution of blowing their nose do, which often earn themselves sinusitis and other serious illnesses), the crunch of junk food packages (from the English junk-food - 'junk food', which includes chips, crackers, etc.) and many others monotonous sounds.
Scientists from the University of Helsinki conducted a study that found strong links between a person's ability to find original solutions to the most non-standard problems, high IQ and the inability to "turn off" extraneous sound stimuli and noises. This phenomenon is called misophonia in medicine. When you crunch crackers or chips, intellectuals near you who have misophonia experience irritation that is equal in strength to clinical depression and cannot do their usual work or relax.

8. High intelligence is characteristic of only children
When you are an only child, all the attention of both or one parent shifts only to you and your development. In addition, there is a certain sociological relationship between the wealth of people and the number of their offspring. The richer a person is, the fewer children he has. And if a person is rich, then this, accordingly, suggests that he has a lot of time for self-development. And intellectually developed people in every possible way contribute to the transfer of intellectual experience to their child. Such is the simple arithmetic.
