In my experience, smart people never talk about how smart they are, as they are too busy growing their minds. I have made some observations of smart people, and I think that they tend to:
1. Change their mind
2. Read and write more
3. Have great manners
4. Talk less but say more
5. Stay teachable
6. Show gratitude
7. Ask more questions
8. Work on problems longer
9. Anticipate outcomes
10. Seek feedback
The traits that characterise a smart person can vary depending on individual perspectives and definitions of intelligence. However, I think some commonly recognised traits of smart people include:
1. Curiosity: Smart people tend to be curious and have a strong desire to learn and explore new things.
2. Open-mindedness: They are open to new ideas and perspectives and are willing to consider alternative viewpoints.
3. Critical thinking: They have the ability to analyse and evaluate information, and to think logically and creatively.
4. Adaptability: Smart people are able to adapt to changing situations and are flexible in their thinking.
5. Persistence: They are determined and persistent in the face of challenges and setbacks.
6. Emotional intelligence: They have good social skills and are able to empathise with others.
7. Good communication skills: They are able to articulate their thoughts and ideas effectively.
8. A broad range of knowledge: They tend to have a wide range of interests and knowledge in various subjects.
I think it’s important to note that intelligence is not limited to these traits alone, and that everyone has their own unique strengths and abilities.
