Do You Have the Traits of a Genius? 

Which trait is at the top of the list when you describe someone as a genius?

This is going to inflate so many egos.

there's a lot of geniuses on RU-vid...If you scroll down to the comments section

My *ego* just committed big expansion.

Do you breathe? Well, you could be a genius.

This is gonna make everyone think they’re a genius

One time I folded a pizza so I could eat it 2x faster

Did you for get your wife's birthday? Is your bedroom covered in garbage? Well, you might just be a genius!

Fun Fact: Everyone who watched this video is an absolute genius.

Me: "i'm a genius." Me after watching the dunning-krueger video: "oh."

Short answer: No Long answer: No.

2 mins in: A genius would know better than to read a book "How to be a Genius".

You forgot #11 watching Rick and morty

The real genius is the person who made this video to validate to many people. ...Giving people hope that they might "secretly" be a genius by listing the most common problems with human beings. Nice easy way to earn money.

People (including me) watch these type of videos and feel like geniuses when in fact they are only as smart as a potato. If you are a genius, you are a genius. You prove it over and over again with what you do, not by staying up till late hours. Lets accept who we are please.

Did you just describe an individual with ADHD?

I don't have any traits mentioned in this video because I am ultra-genius

These are traits common among geniuses, not exclusive to them. Do not assume just because you fit some of these that you are a genius. Sorry if this bursts bubbles

The following comments are a perfect example of the Dunning-Kruger effect...

"You might be a closeted genius." Me: "I guess it's time to come out"

I'm like, really smart. You could say a genius. And a very stable genius at that. ...said no smart person ever.

*so your saying every bad trait i have is because I'm a genuis??* *Nicceeee*

We are all geniuses 💡💡

when so many traits matches you you: dont do that... dont give me hope

I don’t mean to brag, but I do watch Rick and Morty.

Let's be honest, *we all already know the answer*

If always thought it might be true and this proves it!!!! I’m dumb as a bag of rocks!

*Me:* Has all of these traits. *Also me:* Below average grades in school. -_-

I am a genius theres only two things stopping me from achieving what im capable of 1.Procrastination 2.Laziness

This video is pretty genius. "How can we say things that sound specific but are actually pretty general, thus getting everyone to think they are a genius and subscribe to our channel for more self-affirming videos?!"

I guest me is domb

Apparently there's a lot of geniuses in the comment.

I'm sure every one in this comment section thinks they're a genius 😀😀😀😀

Remember people, correlations is not always causation. This video will increase ego... i will always consider myself average or below unless a trusted professional tells me otherwise.

These seem more of the traits you have when you have ADD then the traits of a genious. Especially the hyperfocus. In ADD you have difficulty focusing. But when you are persuing an interestjou can obtain hyperfocus and forget the world arround you. I wonder if many Geniouses just suffered from ADD and knew how to use it

Y'all need to start discounting Einstein. He married his first cousin.

This video is actually describing ADHD. It's nice hearing someone list 'traits' instead of 'symptoms' - and calling it 'genius' rather than a 'disorder.'

I have all these traits, but they really sound more like the traits of 'successful' geniusses, rather than simply being associated with IQ. I think that the important takeaway is that these traits aren't necessarily bad, but instead can help you achieve your dreams.

I accidentally shot my dog, set my house on fire, and washed my phone to clean it. I am now a genius.

Me ): Infographics show: put that frown upside down Me :(

this comment section will be a gold mine to r/iamverysmart

This comment section is a gold mine for r/iamverysmart

After watching this video, I now realize that Penguinz0/Charlie is a true genius. Literally all of these traits are describing him.

I believe you have to do something really impressive and revolutionary, it isn't just having a high IQ or talent. You have to be super skilled with exceptional creativity, photographic memory, build big companies, or publish very important work which would contribute heavily to humanity.

The barnum effect , that's your secret to your viewership hahaha . neat strategy

I once forgot my house

6:18 middle top thats not a genius, thats a thief!!

Being genius is one thing. Making it to greatness is another.

Look, the biggest genius reunion ever is in the comments

I have Jimmy neutron hair so it makes me a genius

LOL I identify with all of those qualities. I found this video encouraging. I have absolutely got a steely-eyed focus on my vision. It has landed me in what could easily be called a bad situation, but I'm still smiling, because I'm making progress, partly by sharing what I'm learning and have learned from my past mistakes. I love the stubborn graphic! LOL

so far today I've discovered I may be a sociopathic genius and an INFJ. Can't wait to discover what I am tomorrow!.

All these qualities match with me perfectly! But isn't this video made just to make socially awkwards like me feel better?

I love the fact that majority of people said they had 9-10 of the attributes.

All these points are very much a part of my pattern...great, I didn't want to be a genius.

All the traits shown is this video : I HAVE My grades : D My identity : Non-Existent My parents/teachers : Unhappy My life : Still hopeless This video helped me a lot. Thanks.

i already know im a genius so i don't need to watch this video, but i'm going to watch it anyways and disagree with it because im clearly a genius.

This video was made to make everyone feel like a genius 😁😁

Most people make themselfes think they have these things when in reality they dont think critical about it and be honest for yourself

this gave me chills, was always bullied growing up for always looking beyond the box, between the lines of everything, always up at night!!

I am genius, and I need a RU-vid video for ratification

iam just a potato

Humor and forgetfulness is my biggest traits. Almost always late to work because i keeping forgetting things or where I put something. But I just laugh or make up a funny way of dealing with each situation.

I share all of the traits above , and indeed I was told my entire life that I was one . Another reason to be happy about today :D

Im either a genius or an indecisive unorganized moody teenager. Seeing as how im a fucking idiot im gonna go with the latter.

I'm left handed does that mean anything John: *no*

*Wait, your confidence is evolving* *Congratulations Your confidence evolved into ego*

I already knew myself, but thank you for reassuring me.

if this is true anybody is a fricking genius 😂

Sometimes I forget how to breath and how to move my body but than I remember.

I fit all traits but I'm no genius. I just love knowledge in general and drifting off into Lala land lol

I have all the traits mentioned but i dont think im a genius just coz ppl don't understand my explanations and i dont have alot of friends nor do i have insomnia and normally play/read/do Homework till 12 🙃🙃🙃

I honestly wish I was smart. I'm ugly and fat, so being smart is my only logical way of succeeding in this life. Wish me luck!

I have watched 69 episodes of Rick and Morty!

Geniuses are not everytime become genius because they have these traits. They are just the traits of people who have become genius but that does not mean that everyone who have these traits become genius. Except the focus even I have all the traits and I am sure every person in the world have these traits. Geniuses are made because of there hardwork and dedication towards their trade whether it is science or art or any other field. It takes lot of sacrifices and hardwork to become a genius so we cannot make fun of them by saying that they we are equally intelligent to them. The ones who have proved that they are deserving of calling genius are true genius.

Infographics show u have great vids and this video is great to give motivation to people bc this is way of manipulting❤️❤️

*Watches Rick and Morty once*

I understand the motives behind this video, which is to inform people about stuff, obviously. But in MY opinion this video is less of 'Traits of a Genius' and more of 'Traits of almost everybody living on this planet'. All this video is doing is catering to people who are doing normal stuff / doing unhealthy stuff and making them feel that they have traits of a genius. Most people who happen to be awake at night, honestly, are just being kept awake by their handy distractions called smartphones - at least mention this because this is obvious. Now you have a bunch of 15-year old thinking that them being awake at night is GREAT because its a trait of a genius. Same goes for the points about Forgetfulness.

Thank you that explains quite alot. Thank you.

I swear Harvard could recruit straight from this comment section

Whilst watching this, I was busy convincing myself in many obscure ways that I have all these traits.

I have all of thsese traits exept for positivity yet i can almost guarantee i am not a genius.

#10 ...looking at half a situation makes me a genius?

2:22 I don't know why I like this line so much. The fact how it is so accurate & it makes me laugh.

You forgot rule #11: A true genius has watched each and every episode of Rick and Morty, and is able to quote any moment from any episode on the spot.

And here come the people suffering from the "Dunning-Kruger effect"

Interesting... A lot of the qualities shown in the video are actually things that have had me in a social-anxiety deadlock for a while. Like even though I know I'm somewhat smart and had this "scientifically" proven to me once (however dubious IQ-tests may be). I was really convinced that other people must have more of a grip on their psyche since they don't have a messy room, messy clothes and chronic forgetfulness. It also felt like that, since these negative traits existed in me, my success in life would ultimately be taken down by them. I even trained myself to stop asking people too many questions because I didn't want to appear nosy. Thanks for this video for letting me rephrase those behaviours in a more positive context, though that might just be self-justification.

Jesus Christ you have so many amazing videos! I'm like 60 seconds in and there's already thre videos to the right I wanna watch immediately! lol

However, this is correlation, not causalation.

Trait #11 watch all 3 seasons of Rick and Morty.

I have all these traits but if I say so to the wrong person I'll get diagnosed and drugged

This will feed so many egos...

As a new channel I really admire how you upload everyday, I struggle with once a week lol. Keep up the hard work! Cheers, from Austria.

The reality is, to think you are a genius defeats the idea of what society considers a 'genius'. To truly learn, you must first realize you know nothing at all, no matter how much you do know. No genius will ponder if they are a genius, because it is nothing more than social status to them. They care about the furthering of humanity as a whole, and bettering their immediate world.

This gave me a huge self confidence boost

a genius would not ask do i have traits of a genius but can have a trait of a genius

me in school after seeing teacher wrote today's date: oh okay ME AFTER 10 SECONDS: what date is it today *that's me not being a genius*

The only channel for which I wait every night 😁😁 Love from India ❤️

Also with a variety of issues surrounding me I have to be able to sort them out before I go to sleep. If I don't spend the time to attend to all these issues, they accumulate in my head and drive me crazy.

I am Sanjana, Soumitra's daughter. Whenever I sing these lyrics, somehow, I feel I can totally make a sublime difference - Every night I lie in bed, the brightest colours fill my head A million dreams are keeping me awake I think of what the world could be, a vision of the one I see A million dreams is all it's gonna take. Please say you are my friend, because friendship and love are huge milestones to a genius work in this rambunctious world.
