Are You Smarter Than the Average?
7. Are you Attractive?
According to the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, on an average, physically more attractive people seems more intelligent than others. The reason they found that hereditarily healthier people are seen as attractive and smart. This association happens as the intelligent and higher status men mostly turn to marry an attractive woman. As intelligence and physical appearance are genetically gifted to one, they will be more attractive and smart.
8. Are you a learner?
Here you have to check whether you have a preset attitude or growth mindsets. Those who have fixed mindsets won’t be able to think out of box but growth mindsets. The intelligent person brings innovative ideas to beat the existence records. Carol Dweck, Professor of Psychology at Stanford University says, Praise for Intelligence and Praise for Effort conveys two distinct messages. Praise for Intelligence is a wrong message which turns people to be inactive due to the fearsome of losing their reputation. But Praise for Effort makes people to be more proactive to try for the best.
