10 Things Intelligent People Avoid 

I agree with all the info in this video. Intelligent people are not afraid of criticism or truth.

Valuable points in your video...thanks.

I avoid repeating mistakes.

Excellent expansion on an equally excellent list. Thank you. Merry Christmas Day and the best for the New Year 2024

I still struggle with 2 of these pitfalls, but I won't mention which though 😄. I'll walk away from a situation and immediately question, "Why did I say that?'. Life is a work in progress, and I'm still evolving.

Individuals who value intellectual growth often welcome constructive criticism as an opportunity to learn and improve.

Pretty much describes me. I would add that intelligence has multiple forms and what the mostly covered hhere was emotional intelligence. Very rarely I meet people with high IQ and EQ at same time. I know geniuses with an IQ of 140+ and EQ of a brick. I am loner by choice but can perform perfectly in social situations. How wonderful to have accidentally found this video. Thank you for sharing

Intelligent people get out of their own way!

A good subject video to introduce why intelligent people have own character to learn, to improve, to have self-control ability. Everyone must be learn from each other, so be kind, no hate. this is the best step to teach younger generation to study hard to become the intelligent person.

Intelligence in it's rawest form is commonsense.

Good video thanks 😊👍🏻

Some people use socail media to bully people I actually think this is really sad and unhealthy I’m unaffected by this

I am highly intelligent, my downfall is I’m most motivated by teamwork.

Ok I just learned some good information. Think positive.

Different types of scam artists (and players) avoid intelligent people because intelligent people are difficult to scam.

I suppose I must be (semi)-intelligent, then. Excepting #'s 1, 4, and seven, I fit ll of these to a T. In the case of #1, I engage in all sorts of small talk. #4 -I have a bad habit of taking things personally even when it was not intended to be so taken. #7 -I tend to let emotions get in my way too much. By qualification, I have manic-depression and these are all very typical for this illness. On the other hand, I totally disregard societal values and march to the beat of my own drummer. I am exceptional at thinking outside the box.

The one thing I'd say that would actually be affected by intelligence from this entire video was the last one, unnecessary risks, which is the only one here where the outcome is proportional to your intelligence. Here's why many of the rest either don't correlate at all, or do not cause the outcomes on the list at all; intelligence doesn't correlate with reduced ignorance as intelligence can often be used incorrectly, that is to say, it's easier to rationalise bad positions when you're more intelligent. Reduced conformity also doesn't correlate with intelligence, intelligence is not something that makes you follow truth, be more individualistic, etc. Intelligence may help you develop those positions more often than people who are less intelligent, but it doesn't mean you would hold these positions because you are intelligent, this is a causation/correlation fallacy. For example, disgust is a severe illness of the mind, it causes people to develop moral systems based on fallacies and easily refutable claims. Such feeling is common among all people, regardless of intelligence. Feedback also doesn't correlate, as people who are more intelligent tend to also be more disagreeable. It's as though the author of the video watched a few movies where the protagonist was an intellectual and thought "that's how those people think!" when in reality, they're isolationists who are disagreeable. Pertaining to superseding emotion for better decision making, again, not correlated, as well as "mindless media consumption", sorry, intellectuals do it too, it's not based on intelligence.

Intelligent people know they’re not the center of the universe

Good video and has many inspiring points. Who specifically wrote this? Were any references or sources used to write it?

Intelligent people are the right type of people

I cringe at calling myself "gifted" or intelligent., however I am a "neuro divergent" person that is a fixed divergent/convergent thinker. I constantly have intrusive rational creative thoughts even today. I truly think academics or modern IQ tests are not a good gauge for true intelligence. I mean you can ask a child what there interests are and get a better prediction for intelligence. I know I watched adult themed movies like "Kramer vs Kramer" and "Society" and even the 1988 "The Vanishing" when I was 5 and 6. I sat down and followed every bit of them. I suck at academics too. I am a multi instrumentalist and high level darftsman(Art) too. Maybe that says something.

You are my brainy dose forever

Prefer to engage in deeper conversational topics or thought subjects always; as well as have FUN in general. 😊

I agree with video 100% . One major reason I don't have lots of acquaintances is I don't want to waste time with useless interactions with people . I even eat meals all by myself as too many people think we should all spend 2 hours sitting at a table at every meal .

If you are the smartest person in the room, You are In the wrong room. 🎄

1. Avoiding Meaningless interactions. How can you do this and have a girlfriend? I find girls love to talk. Solutions to their problems are not welcome, often referred to as man-splaning.

As a member and former officer of Mensa, I can say that a lot of intelligent people do not do these things, and a lot of not-so-intelligent people do. You're redefining intelligence, and basically committing a No True Scotsman fallacy (i.e., claiming that no *truly* intelligent person does these things).

thanks, good video

Well said

Merry Christmas and Happy New year to all the intelligent people who watch this video

everything is true about me

I don’t care what my teachers sed. I know for shure I’m reely smart.

The only way for intelligent people to avoid spending too much money for internet is, do only for important things

Our intelligence always misunderstood by ocean of stupid and shallow people. Do we intelligent people have to explain every move we take? Those people do not understand us is not our fault. It is their own shortcomings. I always just avoid and repel those by not responding to their moves. Ignoring is the best. We are not obligated to respond to any moves. If they do not get it, its their problem, not us. I have had enough of nuisance from these people to the point i just ignore them. It reall works 😆

Pop up in my head, now I know where the money goes to...

Yup 👍🏻

New year, we must avoiding social media

Me. (Things intelligent people avoid 😢)

Wish I was not so stupid.

Smart ppl. are always independent thinkers.

I think all the people in the world is intelligent So do only for important things if nothing disconnect from internet,

Yes

I think intelligent people are not afraid of reality and most of the time they are positive

Chanel ki category kaha hai ????

Many of these characteristics require a decent EQ as well as a decent IQ. High IQ and high EQ do not necessarily go together.

True!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They also avoid man hating mushroomm haircuys!

Intelligent people are not courageous, courageous people are courageous

they refuse to admit when their wrong they blame everyone else. they only acknowledge their good points, but what is the difference between smart and arrogance. just because someone has teh gift of talking and manipulation don't make them smart

I'm about 7 of those things 😢

Just naming the 10 things intelligent people avoid is enough. No explanation or examples of what small talk or willful ignorance is, etc. is required.

Intelligent people speak in fewer words to get the point across.

It's okay that I am an imbecile.

So you are describing robotic, boring people. Give me average IQ people anyday. They don't over analyze everything, can tie their own shoes and are just fun to be around.

💯

A lot of intelligent people conform for the sake of it, that’s called pluralistic ignorance.

👍

I R S-M-R-T!

💯💯💯

❤❤❤❤

I am highly intelligent at least i believe that

Either you born intelligent or nature makes you intelligent.

No 11. People with a high IQ.

Intelligent people don't advocate woke ideology. Intelligent people keep their sexuality private. They dont blame their failures on racism

♥️♥️♥️

Based on? No sources cited, this is largely conjecture.

Reflexively talking about racism and transgender issues always trying to be politically correct, parroting things tgey hear on corporate media, these are all very clear examples of the obsession millions of people in this country have with conformity.

Scew you!

You missed the Covid 19 clot shot.

The web

Mindless consumption of media. 😂 isn’t this RU-vid topic mindless ?

You get intelligent person angry and see what you get??🤨👀😒💀😱👀 just saying.

where is the reference for a positive intelligence? first where is the intelligence coming from?

Intelligent people don’t watch RU-vid
