Cursing a lot<br /><br />The results of a study in the United States show that people who could think of more curse words within a predetermined time also performed better in intelligent tests than other participants. The researchers concluded that knowledge of a larger number of curse words indicated that the speaker had a larger vocabulary, not that they were using curse words because they lacked more sophisticated ways to express themselves.<br /><br />2. Going to bed late<br /><br />Doesn't the early bird catch the worm? Possibly not. Another US-based study performed on young people proved that the later you go to bed, the higher your IQ is. Those late to bed are later risers too.<br /><br />3. Being lazy<br /><br />Good news for all those who don't like doing very much: researchers at Gulf Coast University in Florida have found out that intelligent people apparently take more time to consider things and therefore end up doing less.<br /><br />4. Staying calm<br /><br />Of course, smarter people show their emotions too, but when this happens, it's less likely to end in an argument.<br /><br />5. Being untidy<br /><br />A messy environment seems to have a positive effect on our creativity. That's the reason why creative people appear to aim for chaos in certain ways and why, for example, the desk looks like a bomb has hit it.<br /><br />6. They don't consider themselves better than others<br /><br />Intelligent people tend to be less homophobic and racist. Researchers agree that the expansion of a person's own social environment, and independent, progressive thinking, require a certain level of intelligence.<br /><br />7. They admit their mistakes<br /><br />Smart people also find it easier to admit their mistakes. What's more, they see it as a chance to learn and improve. This ability is also part of emotional intelligence. It determines how important we perceive are emotions to be and how we deal with them.<br /><br />8. They can see things from someone else's point of view<br /><br />This point, also known as empathy, is also part of emotional intelligence. In a discussion, for example, people that lack this ability try desperately to persuade the other person to adopt their opinion and don't include their views in the conversation.<br /><br />9. They don't suffer fools gladly<br /><br />Intelligent people can be more impatient and more pedantic and in general, they are more likely to be solitary with fewer, but instead longer-lasting, social contacts.<br /><br />10. Hitting the snooze button<br /><br />And finally, to finish with the highlight: intelligent and creative people hit the snooze button more often in the morning when the alarm goes off, and generally consider it to be less important.<br /><br />Now you have a wonderful excuse to ignore the alarm in the morning and calmly roll over again to sleep.<br /><br />For more tips like this, don't forget to check out our health hacks website: http://www.healthhacks.me/smart-people-characteristics/
