Psychology: 3 things intelligent people simply don't have patience for

What defines an intelligent person? How well they performed in school or university? How much money they earn or how successful they are in their career? Or how happy they are in their life and how well they manage to live in harmony with their values?

Intelligence can manifest itself on many levels

There are countless factors by which intelligence can be measured and estimated. There are tests that aim to demonstrate specific aspects of our intelligence. Classic IQ tests, for example, attempt to determine general intelligence, which covers various areas. Other tests aim to measure our emotional, social, logical-mathematical, linguistic, or spatial intelligence.

Just because someone is overwhelmed by analytical math problems, they can still be very strong in other areas—for example, they might exhibit pronounced emotional or linguistic intelligence. Other people may be socially overwhelmed and not particularly good at interacting with others, but they excel in logical and mathematical skills. None of these examples is therefore more intelligent than the other—they simply have different talents.

Intelligence can be noticeable in these details

As diverse as these various forms of intelligence are, it's difficult to determine how intelligent a person truly is. However, certain habits and behaviors certainly suggest that a person is exceptionally clever. This includes, for example, the fact that intelligent people have absolutely no patience for certain aspects of social interaction. In the video, you'll learn about the quirks and mistakes they find difficult to tolerate in their environment and what this says about their intelligence.
