Do you ever wonder why some high school or college dropouts make it big out there,

Adverbs of degree

Basic passive voice

Intelligence is something that isn't always easily spotted

it means more than simply getting an A on a test,

There's a difference between being a life-long learner,

and jumping through the academic hoops just to get by in life

Wondering where you fall with your abilities?

Here are five signs you're highly intelligent

Smart people rarely just follow the status quo without questioning it

it's usually those that don't want to think, that they do what they're told

because asking the "why"s requires extra brain power

But if you've got a rebellious streak to you,

and you're curious about the world you live in,

then you might be smarter than you actually think you are!

Unfortunately, not every workplace or classroom nurtures this idea

In fact, some leaders enjoy feeling in control

Don't fall in this trap, and embrace your inquisitive nature

Narcissists like to project their own reality onto others

and don't feel remorse when they lie to others

acknowledge their own faults, flaws, and weaknesses

Instead of trying to impress others with their abilities,

intelligent people can be quite humble and critique themselves,

People who are intelligent, love to keep busy

They rarely call it a day after they clock out from work

and enjoy immersing themselves with fun activities that boost their knowledge

Just like going to the gym for a physical workout,

smart people need their daily brain exercise

Whether it means learning a new language,

intelligent people know how to fill up their schedules and minds

Turns out there's more going on than just clutter

According to a study published in Psychological Science by the University of Minnesota

48 participants were asked to come up with unusual uses for a ping pong ball

So the next time your mom scolds you for not making your bed,

let her know it's hurting your creativity

This is called the Dunning Kruger Effect,

in which people with low level of competence tend to overestimate their ability

Whereas, highly competent individuals tend to sell themselves short

Intelligent people realize just how much room there is to improve

and they're never satisfied with their current knowledge level

their brain appetite grows with each new set of skills they pick up

Remember, intelligence doesn't have to be limited, unless you allow it
