We will meet all kinds of people around us, so how should we identify the smart people around us?

Smart people are generally more humorous. A study conducted by the University of New Mexico found that people who can make up their own jokes and humorous jokes and explain comics more humorously have higher scores on verbal intelligence tests. Although smart people People may not necessarily be humorous, but humorous people may be smarter. If you want to look smarter, you may try humorous expressions. However, not every humor style is beneficial. Another study from the University of New Mexico Experiments have examined the relationship between comedians' humor styles and intelligence, which they use to hide negative emotions about themselves and attacks on others, and to gain approval from others by using harmful humor toward themselves to please others.

1. Therefore, the humor of smart people is often friendly to themselves. For example, comedians make good use of friendly humor, tell jokes in a kind and self-accepting state, and share you from the heart. Think things that are funny, or use self-enhancement humor to poke fun at yourself and your surroundings in a constructive and harmless way. This kind of humor can help us magnify the good sides of difficult situations and maintain a positive attitude.

Openness is a type of personality that includes active imagination, aesthetic sensitivity, attention to inner emotions, preference for diversity, and curiosity about knowledge. In other words, people with high openness People also have a more positive attitude towards new things and challenges. If you have people with high openness around you, maybe they have higher IQs. Because openness is related to two factors of intelligence at the same time: fluid intelligence.

2. They are both the ability to understand language and deduct and summarize texts. The difference is that fluid intelligence is based on physiology and will decline with age; while crystallized intelligence It continues to develop throughout a person's life. Although it enters a plateau at the age of 25, it can still improve to a certain extent. Research shows that people with high openness perform better in both fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence tests. In other words, people who have a more positive attitude towards new things may have an advantage in their acquired intelligence development.

3. People with higher openness also have higher learning ability, which is also a manifestation of high IQ. Curiosity They are more likely to be interested in new things. Interest is the intrinsic motivation for learning. It helps people use some strategies and techniques in the learning process to achieve higher efficiency. For example, when reading an article, people who are interested in the content not only read the meaning of the text, but also use associations to integrate new knowledge into their original knowledge system.
