A high level of intelligence directly influences a person's behavior.
Smart people behave differently from stupid people.
Test yourself: if you have the following behavioral traits, then you can safely consider yourself a smart and reasonable person.
Normal attitude to something new
Smart people understand that the world is constantly changing, and there is no point in “closing” oneself off from new phenomena and criticizing them.
A reasonable person is calm about changes in fashion, music and cinema, about the emergence of new words and terms.
Such a person has an understanding that renewal is the path to development.
And a smart person is also ready to learn something new.
The ability to see and admit one's own mistakes
Only a stupid person would deny obvious mistakes.
But a wise person will not only see his own mistakes, but will also ask for forgiveness for his erroneous actions.
A smart person understands that stubbornness and attempts to appear “sinless” are a road to nowhere.
Ability to empathize
And an intelligent person can also put himself in the place of his family, friends, colleagues and even strangers in order to understand their feelings.
The ability to empathize is one of the signs of a high level of intelligence.
