社交：你如何发现人群中的聪明人

What do you notice in people that makes you see them as intelligent?Denis Matei, Aspiring writer, Reads a lot and Thinks a lot.Answered Sep 5Question: What do you notice in people that makes you see them as intelligent?This question is asking for my opinion rather than an objective assessment, therefore these traits may or may not indicate intelligence. With intelligence is indicated raw power, with wisdom is indicated knowing gained by realization.Fast talking indicates to me a fluid working mind.I consider people who share information more intelligent than people who share experience.I consider patient people to be wise.People who can control their emotions are highly intelligent, resulting in not being taken over by them in debate or discussion.People who can explain complex subjects into easy language are smart.A person who can look at many perspectives at the same time and share these is intelligent.People who are good at spotting any type of (subtle) patterns.Wit, sarcasm, irony and jokes indicates to me a fluid mind.People who don’t repeat the same explanation 3 times or more in different variations are highly self-aware and wise.Calm people I consider wise.People who can understand from only being explained a concept once, I consider highly intelligent.People who can contribute to abstract conversations rather than only listen I consider wise. So, it is only true if the person can, therefore variables like introversion and so on are redundant.I consider people who do not try so hard all the time to be wise, the one who do, are annoying.I consider people who can see things from unique and novel perspectives as intelligent e.g. What is it like to be a pigeon?I consider people who can think about thinking, often heard in speech, as intelligent.If you listen enough to someone, let’s say a hour or more, you will eventually know what that person is thinking about all the time, and therefore can asses their level of wisdom.I consider people who easily spot mistakes intelligent.People who are sensitive to associations I also consider intelligent.Great memory is for me always a neat indicator.I consider people who ask a lot of question or say: why, often as intelligent.People who can think in many layers of thought and concepts are in my opinion intelligent.
