13 SIGNS OF INTELLIGENCE IN A PERSON:
1. Change
Intelligent people know exactly what to do when the tides of change come.
To cope with change, you need 2 things:
1) Flexibility
2) Spontaneity
Normal people react poorly to average in changing situations.
Intelligent people perform at their best.
2. Originality
Highly intellectual people can synthesise new ideas faster.
This means they can connect patterns in their brain in unique ways.
They end up being able to spot unique solutions to problems.
They also tend to be abundantly creative.

3. Self-awareness
We often think of intelligent people as introverted or reclusive.
This couldn’t be further from the truth.
Intelligent people think about the needs of others and focus on improving themselves.
They’re aware of their shortcomings and their need to evolve.
4. Music
If you can spot rhythm, melody and pattern in music, this is a sign of high intelligence.
When analysing music, our brain uses processes of:
– Pattern Recognition
– Metaphorical Thinking
– Auditory Perception
These will seep into other areas of life.
5. Predictions
If you can identify hidden patterns, you can create predictions.
Of course, these won’t be correct all the time, as is the entropic nature of life.
But you will be right more often than not.
6. Thirst for knowledge
Curiosity.
Intelligent people desire answers like a hungry animal desires food.
They will ask questions, even at the risk of looking stupid.
Coming across as idiotic doesn’t bother intelligent people – there’s no time to waste caring about that.

7. Concepts
Intelligent people can be presented with a new topic and unravel it with ease.
Have you ever met someone who learnt a language in 6 months?
Or someone who writes book after book after book?
New topics aren’t intimidating – they’re refreshing.
8. Memory
Recall is a common trait of intelligence.
If you can recall large quantities of information or specific pieces of information, you’re intelligent.
9. Inspiration
Anyone can create a plan and follow it.
Intelligent people go further. They become derailed from the project due to inspiration. But they cannot ignore the call of following it.
Sometimes, it leads to nothing.
Sometimes, it leads to an unventured path.
10. Diversity
Intellectuals are diverse in their knowledge.
They won’t be experts in each realm, but they will have fascinating insights on a multitude of problems, such as:
– Math
– Sport
– Music
– Politics
– History
– Literature
– Economics
and more…
11. Wisdom
Do others approach you for advice?
If people seek your suggestions, it’s because you offer a varied and rational outlook on a situation.
You will help others identify weaknesses and strengths of their projects.
12. Perception
Most people fail to notice the world around them.
Intelligent people are ultra-perceptive.
They are aware of the details of life.
Sometimes, the smallest details give the biggest clue.
13. Zoom Out
Intelligent people think about the bigger picture.
They are ruthless in their progress and are able to look from a birds eye view on any situation.
This allows them to plan their next steps accordingly, not randomly.
