People with high intelligence behave in a special way.
Many intelligent people are distinguished by such qualities as creativity, a good sense of humor and a desire for solitude.
But there are behavioral characteristics that are not typical of intellectuals.
So, what is something a smart person will most likely never do?
Overestimating your own knowledge
A person with a high level of intelligence is unlikely to overestimate his knowledge and skills.
After all, smart people see and understand their own shortcomings well, and also realize that there is no limit to perfection.
Boast
An intellectual understands that bragging will not give him any advantage.
It is better to be a modest person who is used to acting rather than talking about his successes. Such behavior will be more effective.
And braggarts irritate those around them.
Argue
Smart people understand that arguments are usually pointless. In most cases, quarrels do not help to find the truth, but only worsen relations between people.
And many intellectuals absolutely agree with the following thesis: “Every person has the right to his own opinion.”
To lie brazenly
A person with a high level of intelligence is unlikely to lie brazenly. For one simple reason: sooner or later the lie will be revealed.
Criticize other people
Pointing out the shortcomings of your interlocutor is, in most cases, a stupid and meaningless action.
Criticism of others is only acceptable at work and in other areas where mistakes lead to serious consequences.
But criticizing someone for their appearance, low salary, and “wrong” tastes is definitely not worth it.
