00:00:06,220 --> 00:00:07,140
- [Instructor] Hey Psych2goers,
3
00:00:07,140 --> 00:00:09,110
welcome back to another video.
4
00:00:09,110 --> 00:00:11,750
Sometimes, it can be easy to underestimate
5
00:00:11,750 --> 00:00:13,710
your own skills and capabilities.
6
00:00:13,710 --> 00:00:16,460
But it's important to
realize your true worth.
7
00:00:16,460 --> 00:00:18,930
Only then can you confidently act
8
00:00:18,930 --> 00:00:20,130
towards reaching your goals
9
00:00:20,130 --> 00:00:22,140
and be the best version of yourself.
10
00:00:22,140 --> 00:00:24,480
So to help you feel more
confident in yourself,
11
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:25,990
we'll be talking about signs
12
00:00:25,990 --> 00:00:29,150
that you may be more
intelligent than you realize.
13
00:00:29,150 --> 00:00:32,590
Number one, you're constantly curious.
14
00:00:32,590 --> 00:00:34,690
Do you question a lot of things.
15
00:00:34,690 --> 00:00:36,330
Numerous studies have shown that people
16
00:00:36,330 --> 00:00:39,570
who are very curious are
likely to be smarter.
17
00:00:39,570 --> 00:00:41,680
This is because curious
people are always striving
18
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:42,720
to learn new things
19
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,480
and to expand their knowledge.
20
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:45,860
Being curious will also help
21
00:00:45,860 --> 00:00:48,260
you develop a more
refined form of thinking,
22
00:00:48,260 --> 00:00:50,260
as a direct result of
expanding your knowledge
23
00:00:50,260 --> 00:00:53,220
and being able to account
for more possibilities.
24
00:00:53,220 --> 00:00:54,320
Number two,
25
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,480
you know there are many
things that you don't know.
26
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,080
There's a misconception that people
27
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:00,940
who say they know more than they do
28
00:01:00,940 --> 00:01:03,140
come across as someone who is smart.
29
00:01:03,140 --> 00:01:05,450
However, studies have shown
30
00:01:05,450 --> 00:01:08,020
that this occurs due to an overestimation
31
00:01:08,020 --> 00:01:09,990
of their cognitive abilities.
32
00:01:09,990 --> 00:01:12,940
Instead, people who are more
intelligent are not afraid
33
00:01:12,940 --> 00:01:15,160
to admit that they don't know some things
34
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,060
since they have more accurate estimates
35
00:01:17,060 --> 00:01:18,130
of their own knowledge.
36
00:01:18,130 --> 00:01:20,480
This awareness will result in a motivation
37
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,910
to learn and try new things.
38
00:01:22,910 --> 00:01:25,870
Number three, you can be funny.
39
00:01:25,870 --> 00:01:28,080
Can you make a lot of people laugh?
40
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,430
A study by The University of New Mexico
41
00:01:30,430 --> 00:01:33,110
found that funny people
tend to be smarter.
42
00:01:33,110 --> 00:01:34,560
This is attributed to the fact
43
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,410
that both cognitive and
emotional ability is required
44
00:01:37,410 --> 00:01:39,880
to process and produce humor.
45
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,930
Additionally, funny people
not only make others laugh,
46
00:01:42,930 --> 00:01:44,970
but they also laugh more themselves.
47
00:01:44,970 --> 00:01:47,970
These positive emotions increase
the production of dopamine,
48
00:01:47,970 --> 00:01:50,790
which opens up the learning
centers of the brain.
49
00:01:50,790 --> 00:01:54,500
Number four, you have high self-control.
50
00:01:54,500 --> 00:01:56,700
Do you make a lot of impulsive choices?
51
00:01:56,700 --> 00:01:59,720
A study conducted by
Yale university in 2009
52
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,350
supports the claim that
intelligent people are better
53
00:02:02,350 --> 00:02:03,430
at controlling themselves
54
00:02:03,430 --> 00:02:05,840
to resist taking impulsive actions.
55
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,710
The study consisted of giving
participants the choice
56
00:02:08,710 --> 00:02:10,500
of receiving money immediately
57
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:12,640
or more at a later time.
58
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:13,790
The results found that people
59
00:02:13,790 --> 00:02:15,750
who scored higher in the IQ test,
60
00:02:15,750 --> 00:02:17,110
are more willing to wait
61
00:02:17,110 --> 00:02:19,140
and receive more money later.
62
00:02:19,140 --> 00:02:21,880
Number five, you're messy.
63
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,380
Did you know that Albert
Einstein was known to be messy?
64
00:02:25,380 --> 00:02:28,400
People generally link
messiness with laziness.
65
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,150
However, a study in 2013 by Kathleen Vohs
66
00:02:32,150 --> 00:02:35,670
showed that disorderly spaces
can incentivize creativity,
67
00:02:35,670 --> 00:02:37,470
as opposed to clean and tidy spaces
68
00:02:37,470 --> 00:02:40,130
that incentivize playing it safe.
69
00:02:40,130 --> 00:02:43,410
Also since messy people are
used to disorderly environments,
70
00:02:43,410 --> 00:02:44,630
they benefit from being able
71
00:02:44,630 --> 00:02:46,650
to focus under different circumstances,
72
00:02:46,650 --> 00:02:48,830
as opposed to people who
can only be productive
73
00:02:48,830 --> 00:02:50,410
in neat spaces.
74
00:02:50,410 --> 00:02:54,060
Number six, you're fine being by yourself.
75
00:02:54,060 --> 00:02:56,210
Do you enjoy spending time on your own?
76
00:02:56,210 --> 00:02:57,500
According to a study published
77
00:02:57,500 --> 00:02:59,470
by the British Journal of Psychology,
78
00:02:59,470 --> 00:03:00,670
there's a strong correlation
79
00:03:00,670 --> 00:03:03,530
between intelligence and independence.
80
00:03:03,530 --> 00:03:06,280
Being alone gives you time
to think and meditate on how
81
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,540
to approach your problems,
82
00:03:07,540 --> 00:03:08,410
and what you would need
83
00:03:08,410 --> 00:03:11,070
to complete the task most effectively.
84
00:03:11,070 --> 00:03:13,303
Number seven, you procrastinate.
85
00:03:14,180 --> 00:03:17,010
Do you always put things
off until the last minute?
86
00:03:17,010 --> 00:03:19,070
As opposed to what most people may think
87
00:03:19,070 --> 00:03:21,670
those who procrastinate may
actually be more intelligent
88
00:03:21,670 --> 00:03:22,980
than you realize.
89
00:03:22,980 --> 00:03:25,000
The time you spent stalling a task
90
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,230
allows for creative
and innovative thinking
91
00:03:27,230 --> 00:03:29,520
that may lead to more productive ideas.
92
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,010
By not jumping straight
into completing a task,
93
00:03:32,010 --> 00:03:35,410
procrastinators let more
divergent ideas come forward,
94
00:03:35,410 --> 00:03:38,760
so as to have a wider variety
of options to choose from.
95
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,530
Number eight, you stay up late.
96
00:03:41,530 --> 00:03:44,400
Do you often stay up late into the night?
97
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,650
Several studies have
shown a direct correlation
98
00:03:46,650 --> 00:03:48,713
between certain sleeping habits and IQ.
99
00:03:49,570 --> 00:03:51,800
A study published in 2009 in the journal
100
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,120
of Personality and Individual Differences
101
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,520
showed that young adults
who slept and woke up later,
102
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,710
had a higher IQ than those
who slept and woke up earlier.
103
00:03:59,710 --> 00:04:01,030
People who sleep late
104
00:04:01,030 --> 00:04:03,080
tend to get bursts of inspiration
105
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,550
due to the quiet environment
106
00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:06,850
where there are no
distractions or obstacles
107
00:04:06,850 --> 00:04:08,600
to their creative thinking.
108
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,210
Number nine, you took
music lessons as a child.
109
00:04:12,210 --> 00:04:13,670
Music lessons are believed
110
00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:15,930
to help with children's
mental development.
111
00:04:15,930 --> 00:04:18,260
Since music is known to
stimulate the left side
112
00:04:18,260 --> 00:04:19,140
of the brain,
113
00:04:19,140 --> 00:04:21,839
which helps with the
development of language skills.
114
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,980
A study made by Glenn Schellenberg
115
00:04:23,980 --> 00:04:26,010
consisted of comparing the IQ of children
116
00:04:26,010 --> 00:04:28,030
who had nine months of music lessons
117
00:04:28,030 --> 00:04:30,290
with children who did not
take any music lessons.
118
00:04:30,290 --> 00:04:32,700
And found that those
who took music lessons
119
00:04:32,700 --> 00:04:34,570
had a relevant IQ boost
120
00:04:34,570 --> 00:04:36,910
as compared to the
other group of children.
121
00:04:36,910 --> 00:04:39,630
And number 10, you're left-handed.
122
00:04:39,630 --> 00:04:40,770
Do you write with your left
123
00:04:40,770 --> 00:04:42,210
or your right hand?
124
00:04:42,210 --> 00:04:44,510
Research indicates that left-handed people
125
00:04:44,510 --> 00:04:46,470
have a divergent way of thinking,
126
00:04:46,470 --> 00:04:48,140
which allows them to solve problems
127
00:04:48,140 --> 00:04:50,260
and tasks more creatively.
128
00:04:50,260 --> 00:04:52,040
This is supported by a study conducted
129
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,840
by The University of Athens
130
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:54,840
who concluded,
131
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:57,890
left-handed people have high
scores in divergent thinking
132
00:04:57,890 --> 00:04:59,700
and cognitive ability.
133
00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:02,020
