How do you judge whether a person is smart? Should I look at his degree, level of income, or talk? In fact, there are often some signals that we think it is a clever logo is just a superficial appearance. Recently, netizens on Reddit have taken stock of ten signs that are often incorrectly linked to smart. Let's see if you have similar feelings.

"Silence. I have been praised as a thoughtful person because I like to stay silent, but in fact, this is just because I don’t know what to say."

Reply: "My girlfriend thinks that I keep silent because I am thinking hard or finding a way to clarify my emotional thoughts, but this is just because I have no other thoughts except I am a fool."

"Using a grand or gorgeous rhetoric to explain a specific question. And the answer of a real smart person is often easy to understand."

Reply: "Our history teacher once asked us to simulate others in the last lesson as a final result. She said to us at the time that if you really understand knowledge, then you must be able to help others and understand them."

"When I first learned that cleverness is not necessarily related to intelligence, I am surprised. I have met a person who is engaged in academic research for life, she almost knows everything about her field. She is like a walking encyclopedia The whole book, but she can't deal with the problem well, or draw conclusions, or apply it to different themes.

For example, she is like a beautiful solid -state hard disk, which stores a lot of information in the hard disk, but she has an unqualified CPU. Since then, I have met many similar people, they are all scholars, but I am not sure whether it is related to this. "

Reply: "Different people's work methods are really interesting. As a person who likes to play RPG type games, this is like intelligent and wisdom in the game often two separate attributes | -specific knowledge and common sense are completely separated.

What I want to say is that as a person who has worked closely with academic experts, many of the smartest people I have ever seen are a bit stupid. I think this is actually very good, especially in research and development and general academic circles. If you encounter a new thing, the flow of information on the horse is your best source of insight into it. Some people may explain everything together and draw conclusions, but asking the incredible "Dr. Google" may be a better choice. "

"Can control everything."

Reply: "Always remember to maintain reasonable doubts about those who claim to be authoritative until they give proofs about their identity."

Reply: "If a person is really an expert in a certain aspect, then it will always be the other people who praise them, not themselves."

"You speak. Those who sound very confident are often regarded as smart people. I have a colleague who often issued wrong instructions to new employees, but she is still convinced by many people because of her voice just because of her voice. It sounds confident. "

"I have fallen for a long time, and I haven't found someone saying this for a long time:

Many people think that age represents wisdom. Obviously, in the school, high -grade students seem to be smarter than young students, but after entering the society, the real wisdom should never be divided by age, but through everyone's own life experience. "

"Read. Anyone who reads a book on the way home will be watched as a smart person. And if I say that I watched three movies, it will be watched as laziness. But in fact, if you spend a week to read The book "Kill a Bird", and I spent only a few hours after watching the movie. The experience we learned is equally valuable. "

"Wearing glasses. This does not mean that my IQ is as high as 200, which can only show that my myopia."

"I have a bachelor's degree. I am currently taking an online course through my university. As part of the course, the professor will let us approve each other. Once, I was randomly assigned to a girl's paper. This girl may be at least more than me than me. 15 years old and have a bachelor's degree in family education.

I was shocked by her writing ability. Not only the error of spelling errors and punctuation, her text is almost incomprehensible. I even doubt how she graduated from high school, let alone enter the university in such words. "
