"After this video went viral, random kids across the world started talking to themselves " while reading a book and asking passers-by personal questions and forgetting the answers.
Charlton Lepkofker lololol I was thinking the same thing. Every single one of us can probably identify with each one of these "signs" in some way or another :). I've always thought, like beauty, genius is somewhat subjective and circumstantial :)
The people who say IQ is based on memory or that being smart doesn't matter are obviously the ones who aren't genius. They hate us just bc im smarter and tell me IQ is invalid
Skeptic, do you feel better? I really hope you feel better about yourself at some point in time. Maybe one day you gave give up this Trolling crusade and get a real, fulfilling life :) wish you all the success you can possibility receive.
Abby M technically, an IQ doesn't matter. there are different ones. all of them have different scaling (obviously) but the one people usually take is the academics. And academics doesn't prove worldly intelligence.
TOP FIVE SIGNS YOU *MIGHT NOT* BE A GENIUS... - you called someone to get their phone number - you tried to separate the "W"s from a bag of M&M's - you stared at an orange juice carton because it said "concentrate". - you posted a comment that said "TOP FIVE SIGNS YOU *MIGHT NOT* BE A GENIUS", and could only think of three(ok, I guess that was four).
All of these. I know that I'm very smart, but I'm probably the laziest person I know. The only reason why my grades are horrible is because I think schoolwork is completely pointless and the classes go sooooo slow. I end up daydreaming or working on my own projects. I really wish that school was about learning instead of showing the students how to pass the tests and get the school money. Also I can seriously relate to the last one because I'm a maladaptive daydreamer (basically makes me look insane but I'm not I promise XD).
WE ARE WATCHING IT BECAUSE ITS IN FEED. ALSO WE WANT TO ANALYZE HOW THIS TEST IS?. WHAT DOES IT HAVE ACCURATE AND WHATS NOT. WHAT LACKS ALSO A PART OF DISCUSSION
Gabreilla Onallus It is the human tendency to forget things, this is something more biological rather than intellectual. Some people have more tendency to forget than others, because they have things preoccupied in their minds. A genius is a one who knows about this and takes alternative measures to remind him about those things which he might forget! otherwise he is just foolish ;-) :-) .... right?
Well, their definition was actually pretty vague. Everyone is forgetfull. As an example, some people barely remember what they ate last week, what their combination code was of their locker back at high school, their first kiss or where they left their keys. In fact, forgetfullness is nessairy. Human brains have a limited storage capacity and constantly throws/filters the things away which aren't of any importance. Not only 'importance' plays a role, time can also make us forget. Given enough of it and we'll eventually forget our yought, which the brain then unconsciously reconstructs out of scrap. Pretty neat huh?
But I have a really short term memory. Like when I place my wallet on a table in our house, after a minute of doing something I somehow forget where I place it again, taking up almost a half hour of my time looking for it.
me too ..... not for myself ..... i have all the five traits...... but that is something common to have probably half of the population is Genius by this reconing
Everyone will say that they have several of these attributes because of a few things: 1. Most people who clicked on this video did so because they had hope that they were geniuses already, therefore viewers are more likely to be so. 2. These characteristics aren't necessary for being a genius, they just happen to always be present in geniuses. 3. People overestimate themselves when given something to compare to (i.e. the descriptions in this video) while they underestimate themselves when asked to evaluate without comparing to anything/anyone else. 4. People lie to themselves if they want to be seen as something, and will gladly lie to others in the same manner.
Well weirdly enough intelligent people are often more aware of their limitations than let's say the less intelligent ones. The more you learn, the more you realize how little you know.
a real genius doesn't wait for someone's approval of their behavior, he's just born curious and indifference when it comes to reasoning, even these signs are not enough description of a true genius
i'm with you on that one I would prefer to be figuring out exactly what i would do in a zombie apocalypse based off climate population and farmable land maps as well as statistics related to blood borne viruses than actually doing work (No joke i did that during biology)
Actually not everyone does those things. My mother rarely curious about things, even things she knows nothing about. My sister hates being proved wrong.
It is technically reading, but I don't think it necessarily means you're a genius. But it also doesn't prove the opposite, too many people think that fanfiction is something for lonely, stupid fifteen year old girl that are in love with Harry Styles. Even people that are in love with Harry Styles or read Phanfiction all the day can be geniuses. (I actually don't even know who exactly Harry Styles is or how to spell him, it's just an example.)
Anything you read through your eyes makes you a genius. The letters you're reading are little drawings in sequential order. For instance, once you read the Chinese words, they look like drawings, don't they? Reading and looking are so identical in meaning.
I think I've read more fanfictions than books. It unfortunately takes a lot to keep my attention. Fanfiction is surprisingly good at it. JRR Tolkien? Not so much. His writing is so damn dry to me.
a lot of the points are the classic a follows from b so b follows from a mistake zb forgetting things can be associated with high intelligence but that does not mean that if you tend to forget things that you are intelligent... there are some more logic mistakes in there and I'm also not sure about some of the facts that he bases his argument on. and even so there's still a different between above average intelligent and genius.
+scar cookie don't put yourself down. The moment you tell yourself anything, it becomes true. We all have ups and downs, but don worry, it'll get better.
I know one thing you have... Pessimism. So if you think you have nothing, at least get rid of that thought. I have similar problems but some people (not trying to brag about myself) say im kinda smart
The problem with how you're considered smart is mostly your common knowledge and how you perform in school when that is incredibly incorrect in my opinion. Everyone has a different brain and the school system doesn't suit everyone yet everyone is being taught the same thing, the same way and given the same system when everyone should be taught differently depending of how they process and how they think and the way they look at different problems. There was also a test online that determined how smart you are by asking you common questions that have to do with history and similar subjects and I've never really gave much attention to history because I know it won't help me in life and knowing when something was invented and by who and knowing who started a specific war and when seems like a complete waste of time and complete useless information that won't help you in any way in the future. Having said that, i still think that I'm not really a genius like this video says and I just decided to share this comment because I've faced a challenge like this where an online test said I was below average for not knowing something specific and I just want to know if anyone relates.
I talk to my self a lot, i forgot thing fast, i always like to discover thing about the universe and study them, and i love mental challenge. i hate reading but when i read books i can never stop reading it unless i found something else to do. so i'm a GENIUS.
desi pool a genius isn't someone who's good at maths, it can be different subjects such as literature and science that prove your *geniusness*, woah...i must be a genius, I invented a new word!
Bannoffee Pie People often have been mistaken for intelectuals or people with high IQ . Just because you're good at maths doesn't mean you're a genius . You're good at following orders and making shit work together with formulas that already have been given to you . Being a genius is being creative . When i start drawing people say they see a penis , then they see a cat , then dragon . Being genius is more of being observant , open minded , curious and the most important CREATIVE ( creating things with no data or information given ) That's why A . Einstein was a genius ( he was creative abd curious )
desi pool cause school has nothing to do with intelligence. According to my IQ test I am technically considered a genius but the whole careless memory comes into place I usually can't remember what I ate for dinner the night before let alone the periodic table for example
Sanfawn Yeap.. school just helps you get social skills and improve your skills to manipulate other peoole. Srsly, geniuses are always trying to get controll, understand, make/create and breake every single rule.... Just so they don't need to be sad and hated.. In my school there are only 2 "smart/genius" people.. or I mean openly. I have already tought my self to mask up and control others. He.. not so much
First: Yeah I'm really always curious Second: You don't have to tell me you learn from reading, I know that. One of the reasons I LOVE books. Third: yup challenges are always fun Fourth: Seriously my whole family makes fun of my forgetfulness… Fifth: Great! I'm sometimes really worried to get kind of insane bc I talk SO MUCH to myself both loud and silent. But I really don't feel like a genius… more like a weird potato. cause I'm weird. And I look like a potato. But as least a skinny potato… maybe I'm a fry… or a chip? A crazy chip... sounds kinda cool, right?
We are the next generation of chips!!Seriously I like to talk to myself about everything and like to read and search some random stuff and I talk to myself a lot XD it's cool and sometimes I get 10 below in my mid-year exams I got no.3 XD
I'M I GENIUS. 1: I FORGET MY HOMEWORK EVERY SINGLE TIME (SOMETIMES I DONT FORGET IT) 2: I LOVE READING 3: I WILL SINK INTO ANY CONVERSATION OR ANY TOPIC 4: I TALK TO MYSELF... I now know that I'm a genius
Sam D YOU ARE SO MEAN.... YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE STARTED IT THAT WAY WITH HER... PLEASE RESPECT.... WE ARE HUMANS... WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES... JUST FOR A SPELLING?...
1.) I have an unhealthy obsession with wanting to learn everything there is to know about the world. Especially people and phycology. 2.) Reading has become an addiction to me. I also love to write. Over eye past couple years I stopped because I was bullied for liking books and writing, but I'm hoping to get back into it. 3.) I will constantly challenge my friends and other people to basically a knowledge battle. I love to discuss random things about people from favourite animals to veganism to space and the possibility of time travel. And when I'm proven wrong, I love it because then I know more! 4.) I don't really forget things so much as I just zone out and go to my own world. But since I'm in my own world I forget where I am and what I'm doing so I guess I do forget... 5.) Talking to myself is considered normal. One time well walking home, I saw a baseball cap on the ground outside an apartment and had an entire conversation in my head where I ended up becoming a world famous--
+Skylord500 I know how you feel 'yes, we do' shut up 'you should shut up' you first! 'no you!'... excuse me I have something annoying to deal with 'me too 😎' argh!
but if talking to oneself helps boost memory and it's a common trait of smart people then how come another trait of smart people is forgetfulness? wouldn't the previously stated trait eliminate the latter stated trait?
f S I started when i was 3 and im still doing it . My mom even told a psychologist when i was little . The doctor said im not mentally i'll . I learned to speak multiple languages at age of 7 ( English , Bulgarian , Turkish ) . My English is not the worst , but im still trying to improve . I tested my IQ 3 times total 1st time 104 2nd time 110 3rd time 123 . Im currently 8th grade (14 years old) . But i have problems with memorising non useful data . Like grocery list , homework , school events etc . Im not at multitasking too , but im a beast if i concentrate .
^^^ me when I was age 10-12, stopped doing that cause ya know, school...... I should have taken my own advice to leave school and nurture my capabilities more.... really miss my old self right now...
im all of these but my worst one is number 4. it happens almost every day i can forget what i was doing or getting from just walking to another room. i usually pace the floors till i remember what i came in there for cause my mind is always thinking about something.
That's because when you enter a new room the brain gets the signal that it has reached a new surrounding and ths it erases the previous temporary memory. Nothing to do with geniusness. It's pretty common with everyone. :/
If you match all five signs and still doubt you're a genius why not check out ➥ ua-cam.com/video/E_eL6bmjr_w/v-deo.html for seven more unexpected signs you might be a genius.
Im actually a genius myself so i know what they mean and what they mean is that if you like to learn a lot of things in a short time or go on a "marathon" of learning then it still applies to you, i dont like reading that much either but i love going on marathons through numberphiles videos to learn a lot.
Tye not telling who Dude, stop trying to make yourself feel better by calling yourself a genius, none of these "signs" have any merit, you can do all these things, have all these traits and still not be a genius. Don't get ahead of yourself kid, and fix your capitalization and punctuation when you're trying to act as if you're smart next time.
I don't know why, but this video really helped with a little self-esteem boost. Normally, I feel like I'm never good enough, never smart enough. My entire life I've needed things explained to me multiple times, in multiple different ways, because I kept forgetting what I needed to do. People also ridiculed me for asking too many questions in class. Like, yes, I know that you were just giving a basic example of how something happens, but WHY? Why does it happen? When did it start happening, and where? Since I relate to all of these things(although i do believe that the forgetfulness if just my ADHD XD), it really helped me feel smarter. And that fact that it didn't actually focus on an IQ number helped as well. I mean, I know that my IQ is 118, which is above average, but I've never really been convinced of that. So this video really helped with my self-esteem, especially since school for me is starting this week. Thanks :)
Yes, EVERY SINGLE person is curious. EVERY SINGLE person enjoys reading. EVERYTHING SINGLE person enjoys mental challenges. EVERY SINGLE person forgets things (that's true actually), and EVERY SINGLE person talks to themselves.
Im all of these and I'm 14 but I could never compare myself to actual geniuses like Nikola Tesla and Einstein just because I posses similar traits with them
People with a high iq tend to underestimate their intelligence. Personally, I am striving to complete a PhD in the field of mathematics. I have read many math books and textbooks and am many years ahead of my grade. I still feel that it this is not enough however, and that I am not naturally gifted in these abilities.
You aren't like actual geniuses like Tesla or Einstein, that is true. but realize that you have earned the potential to raise yourself to become like them. you may not be as good as they are now, but they were also not as smart in their teenage years compared to when they're in their prime either. work hard, study hard, and yield results.
+Anton Shakov The Dunning-Kruger effect is what you are reffering to. By the way, I wish you succes with your PhD in mathematics, an excellent choice of study.
Joseph Crespo you deny that you aren't a genius yet you call famous geniuses and say that you possess similar traits to them. Do you really have a low self esteem or do you just want to get praised ?
C'mon people... The video shared traits that most geniuses have based on numerous studies. It did not say you are for sure a genius if you have all 5 traits... If you have all 5 traits, you have something in common with geniuses and/or may be a genius (not conclusive). If you are a genius, it is likely you will have these traits. Genius also means different things to different people :)
It is grammatically correct to use 'persons' when referring to the plural of 'person', although, 'people' is now more often used as the plural of 'person'.
X ŁěğîţMøđê X Bâňţěř X Well you're a real genius maybe😲 my congratulation ☆-☆ !!!!for me people think that im smart just caus i wear a glasses []~[] as well as yu i talk too much to myself but sometimes this boring me much as i can tell when i can't stop the thoughts ... then my hobbys are reading ,drawing and my only nightmer is studing 😫💚
I... am... a... GENIUS!!! Thank you. All five are totally me! I love reading, I tend to forget things, I talk to myself, I'm curious about stuff, and what was the last one? I... yeah. The last one too, the one I forgot. :P
Nah, most geniuses realize they are geniuses because the fastest way to tell if you're gifted is being around other people. For example: when in class they teach something new and you get it right away and think it's relatively easy, only to find out everybody else is utterly confused and struggling to get the content, leaving you confused as to why other people don't get it when it's so damn simple.
Though in general that may be correct but what if you're average surrounded by under average. Or a super genius surrounded by geniuses. (Also if you're willing to just do what your teacher says it's evident.) Keep in mind though that this only works with advanced forms of education. I've seen people who were like that, that the moment they left school to go onto higher education they lost that trait and became average. (I've seen people like this, straight A's during school with minimal then barely scrape C's with a lot of effort at college.) True genius would be the guy in the corner staring out the window or something barely paying attention to the tutor that somehow manages to do it without any issues and a lot faster than the others. Or those that act as additional teachers during class if the teacher can't help everyone.
i never considered myself a genius bc of that, do you know just how many people find it understandable? I just consider anyone who finds hard to be either an idiot or super lazy, no offense
temporarily not here yeah, but then when the vast majority of people you ever meet are like that, then you have to question if most of the population on earth are idiots or you are a bit smarter than the rest. I think the latter one is more probable
Most people are not auditory learners, so most people don't learn well in a class because most things are verbally explained. Me personally I think that all people have the potential to be geniuses they just need a teacher who can actually teach them the way they learn, but there are too many people to teach to just focus on the individual, though I wish we could.
Talking to yourself is a sign of genius? Well, I've always said it's better to talk to yourself than converse with an idiot, though sometimes I feel I am when I do talk to myself sometimes. PS: the background graphics were very distracting.
well talking to yourself and can mean your a genius or that you're psychotic soo... I'm going to be the richest person on the planet or in a mental Asylum sooooooo ya
They said in the beginning that most geniuses underestimate their own intelligence. You might have the brains, but the right opportunity for you just hasn't shown up yet. It's funny, but most people picture mathematicians and chemists when they think of 'geniuses'. The truth of the matter is that you can be a 'genius' of just about any subject. Maybe you just haven't found your inspiration yet.
There are many levels of eidetic memory. Most that have a very high level of eidetic memory can't function well in society. Can you remember the moment you started to walk ? I remember that moment extremely well. I can see my older sister telling my mother "he's walking". My mother turning her head from washing dishes and looking at me. My older sister with her cat eyed glasses smiling as she's telling my mother. Lol so clearly I'm right there again.
This is called having photographic memory, doesn't necessarily mean you are intelligent in a variety of ways or correlate to your IQ very much. Lol so clearly you're wrong.
I don't know if you've ever taken an IQ test, but they test for multiple different types of intelligence, not just memory. Memory is only one way that you can have a high IQ, but it's entirely possible for a person to have mediocre memory and still score high intelligence for other things like communicative intelligence, inter/intrapersonal intelligence, spatial intelligence, etc.
According to modern terminology IQ does mean memory because it's based off of modernised schooling which is literally memorizing things until you get an A Einstein was a genius yes, but that doesn't mean that his modern IQ would be high, those tests are made for morons
A good majority of the people I know match all if not some of those signs. This is not how you check for genius. Sure many real geniuses might match those signs, but that doesn't mean you are one just because you do.
Yah, I match all of them and I doubt it means I'm a genius, but for someone with a very active imagination, it's fun to see where this goes. I just came from The Ellen Show where we took this quiz and it turns out I'm the smartest person alive! (That they know of... Ellen thinks the government is hiding something). See? I just like to make up stories and this is just giving me more ideas to do that!
+Bella Blackmist hmmm interesting. I have watched a video, haven't done my own research on it, from thoughty2's channel about how genetics do play a role on our minds physicality and mentality. If you were born into a genius family, chances are you are also going to be smarter than the average joe, and not because of how they were brought up, but because of genetics. This would make more things clear about relationships and how kids receive their knowledge. To be fair my own mother is not too sharp.. I don't know where I get my imagination from in my family or my constant curiosity to try and understand things.. That also could be the result of a more modern upbringing. Who knows for sure.
I have all these but I have learning disorders. It especially effects my ability to understand basic math problems so I am the opposite of a genius. This test was flawed.
Desiree Wolf the thing is i have ADHD only but i have no problems with learning but i have problems with finding out to many ways of doing thing bcz of my curiosity
lot's of smart people have learning disorders, I know some people who are like that. It doesn't mean you're not intelligent. You just have to find your niche
+Dawan Nongkynrih I am only good at things involving science and biology, also some ancient history. But the fact that it takes forever for me to read or tie my shoes kind of ruins that.
I talk to myself because I like intelligent conservation, it's refered to as thinking out loud, a lot of people simply don't think out loud or think at all for that matter..the # 1 sign of intelligence is when people tell you that you are and when they do tell you that ,always fell flattered and say thank you very much for such a nice complement, modesty is also a sign of intellect..
I hate reading with a burning passion. This is because the school system that I'm in has, since the formative elementary school years, made reading a homework assignment, and you would be punished if you didn't read. It was therefore forced upon me, and I don't enjoy any longer. Now, I've been told that I'm a phenomenal writer, I can read at 1200 wpm on paper, and I love learning other languages. It's just that I don't like reading. I don't know why, and frankly, I wish I did like reading.
Firstly, I've heard the whole "Find the right book" stuff. No matter what genre, no matter what book I try, I still hate reading. This isn't to say that I don't enjoy a good story, and I love hearing stories, and I'll even read shorter articles or creepypastas. It's the act of reading. Also, when I heard my little sister describe the plot against Of Mice and Men, I didn't like it, and "nothing" is worse than going into something with a negative attitude.
i talk to myself because i debate with my mind it's like this me1:i wonder how can we make holograms????? me2:I think we can do it by tansforming the partycles around it so the partycles can act like the board. me1:well yyes i think we an do that but how can we program something to do that????? me:well yes you have a point........hmmmmmmmmmmm. _________________________________________________________________________ and so on and so forth.
Me too, though #3 was a bit halfway coz I don't like getting proved wrong... I dunno what to think. ^^; But the video did also say that people with high IQ tend to underestimate their own intellect. Perhaps that's another sign that we are geniuses?
A normal person like reading, reading doesn't help very much in your IQ and expanding your mind but being EXTREME CURIOUS is very important to your IQ, knowledge and EXTREME creativity i'm talking for example Albert Einstein and Leonardo da vinci
i must be a little bit of a genies, because I have to read everything in my area to feel satisfied, and i talk to myself a lot. STRANGE, IS IT NOT, HOW I TALK TO MYSELF A LOT?! WAIT, THAT RHYMED. SHIT!! I legit just said that.
You are not on your own,I talk to myself all of the time.Most of the time I am telling myself off for talking too much!I also disagree with a lot of the things I say.Maybe I have a split personality.If that's being a genius,I would rather be stupid. I find I am getting worse as I get older.I am also insanely curious about everything.
Is it just me or are other people's minds twisted like I can remember stuff quick like multiplication and division, but simple stuff like 4+5 or 9-2 have me confused for a little. Like it only happens on test, it's like I'd see a question about pie times 4 and quickly think 12.56, but when I get to 5+6 I sit there for like 5 mins.
what i find funny is i can solve extremely difficult multiplications or multiplications with large numbers very quickly but when its 13 * 3.5 it takes me years to figure out that it's 45.5
+x SnowyLionCub x Was the "Dumbass" part needed? I'm pretty sure it's easy to correct people without swearing at them and sounding like a total jerk. And I don't think you should correct people on their grammar if you can't manage to hit the period button.
lol if you hadn;t known, "est" goes with words with less than 3 syllabus, such as prettiest, but ones with more than (or equal to ) 3 syllabus needs a "most" or a "more" such as most beautiful, or more beautiful. You are welcome. ;)
Using the internet, you can research and learn 10x faster to find information, and sometimes this info isn't accurate, but you can't always trust books for accurate information and lots of times scientists are wrong
Thank you! I do everything that this video mentioned except for reading but I would read it if it is interesting. No wonder why I have such a big head for my body.I always thought that I forgot things because my head was to full of other things, I forget things that I have done in the pass, I don't even remember what I did two days ago it will take me a long time But I'll eventually remmember. I did a memory IQ test once and got 14/15 in my visual memory and 15/15 in my verbal memory and everyone in the comments were getting the opposite of my results. And when I am curios about something or disagree about something I talk outloud to myself about it. This has so inspired me to be smarter. Not to smart tho my head might explode, Jks.
ᏙᎬNᎾᎷᎾᏌᔖ ᏩΔᎷᎬᎡᏃᏃᏃ brain size is irrelevant it's all about amount of brain cells. An example is that Einstein had a smaller brain than the average human but it was packed with cells.
I question if einstein was very smart . he even said as much, but likely he was much smarter then me. now testla did not fit the agenda so he was played down. even though he was super smart. but i get your point. i guess what i am trying to tell you and other readers. their is a massive hidden truth so huge and profound i cant find the words to fully do it justice.It can be found thru relentless curiosity . I cant tell people , they must find it for themselves. i guess ,start with tesla. For me ww2 history opened the door. research BT tank and really think about what it means. you will find everything we were told is skewed.
HOLY CRAP!! At first I thought that this was just a generic " I bet we can prove that you're a genius" test, but the they said that smart people tend to talk to themselves, AND THEN IT FELT LIKE MY BRAIN HAD EXPLODED!!!! I mean, I'm not bragging or anything, but I have been in gifted/advanced classes since second grade. And I talk to myself all the time.Extremely loudly. And make wild arm gestures while I do it. My parents hate this. By the way I'm 14 and in the 8th grade.
OMG SAME I ONLY GOT 4 RIGHT BUT MY FRIENDS CALL ME WIERD AND CRAZY AND I DONT MIND. SO IF SOMEONE TRY SAY IM CRAZY OR WIERD IN A MEAN WAY I SAY EVERYONE IS CRAZY / WIERD BECAUSE EVERYONE IS UNIQUE OR I SAY I KNOW
Besty1201 Videos all this is a compliment to the world cuz if you think about it everyone does all five of these things. you might or might not be on go get tested to be forreal
Not so fast, this video makes use of the 'Barnum effect'. These caractaristic proposed within the video are actually possesed by the majority of people. This doesn't mean that you're not a 'Genius', I'm just saying that justifying the fact that you can call yourself as a Genius can't be done by using this video. Are you a genius? Who knows, maybe ya, or maybe nah, am I right? ^_^
After this video went viral, random kids across the world started talking to themselves
Barry Cacockinher so I guess they just wanted to be smart
"After this video went viral, random kids across the world started talking to themselves " while reading a book and asking passers-by personal questions and forgetting the answers.
Why do I have the feeling that it has something to do with insecurity?
Barry Macockinher i was like i ain't no genius im just smart at the start of the video but at the end i understood im a genius. Woah
Barry Macockinher Probably,XD
According to this, Dory from finding Nemo is a genius.
Well done.

Well, that's true.

Maybe only geniuses wrote a comment?
TOP FIVE SIGNS YOU *MIGHT NOT* BE A GENIUS...
- you called someone to get their phone number
- you tried to separate the "W"s from a bag of M&M's
- you stared at an orange juice carton because it said "concentrate".
- you posted a comment that said "TOP FIVE SIGNS YOU *MIGHT NOT* BE A GENIUS", and could only think of three(ok, I guess that was four).
XD
Good thing you thought of four signs...
You thought the capital of Montana was M.
I love these! hahaha! hilarious! I gotta use them sometime!
I smell plagiarism
All of these. I know that I'm very smart, but I'm probably the laziest person I know. The only reason why my grades are horrible is because I think schoolwork is completely pointless and the classes go sooooo slow. I end up daydreaming or working on my own projects. I really wish that school was about learning instead of showing the students how to pass the tests and get the school money. Also I can seriously relate to the last one because I'm a maladaptive daydreamer (basically makes me look insane but I'm not I promise XD).
Oh also my grades suck because I'm forgetful and don't turn in my crap XD
same
same
leave a like if you are a lazy genius
+baazam im a lazy genius that's why I learn things on iPad and not books
You're not if you watching this video.
WE ARE WATCHING IT BECAUSE ITS IN FEED. ALSO WE WANT TO ANALYZE HOW THIS TEST IS?. WHAT DOES IT HAVE ACCURATE AND WHATS NOT. WHAT LACKS ALSO A PART OF DISCUSSION
that is true unfortunately
ismail Cem Eroglu never let people get to your head or let strengths make you blind to weaknesses.
TheChosenOne thanks man when i opend the video that was the first thing that went through my mind
Lmao glad someone said it 😆
explaining your'e a genius is harder than caught watching porn.
The fact that a person would hide shows porn is not good. Correct or incorrect?
true
hehe.. get it, HARDER?
*you're
You're
I don't think being forgetful is a good thing though... I'm forgetful and I'm rather sick of it.
according to this video you should talk about it, with yourself, LOUDLY
Gabreilla Onallus It is the human tendency to forget things, this is something more biological rather than intellectual. Some people have more tendency to forget than others, because they have things preoccupied in their minds. A genius is a one who knows about this and takes alternative measures to remind him about those things which he might forget! otherwise he is just foolish ;-) :-) .... right?
Well, their definition was actually pretty vague. Everyone is forgetfull.
As an example, some people barely remember what they ate last week, what their combination code was of their locker back at high school, their first kiss or where they left their keys.
In fact, forgetfullness is nessairy. Human brains have a limited storage capacity and constantly throws/filters the things away which aren't of any importance.
Not only 'importance' plays a role, time can also make us forget.
Given enough of it and we'll eventually forget our yought, which the brain then unconsciously reconstructs out of scrap.
Pretty neat huh?
But I have a really short term memory. Like when I place my wallet on a table in our house, after a minute of doing something I somehow forget where I place it again, taking up almost a half hour of my time looking for it.
Gabreilla Onallus same
After watching this video, I can safely say that I am.....
Disappointed.
Same.
lol
im not
i went on 4, 5 and 6! yeeey.
also, noone cares.
me too .....
not for myself ..... i have all the five traits...... but that is something common to have probably half of the population is Genius by this reconing
Everyone will say that they have several of these attributes because of a few things:
1. Most people who clicked on this video did so because they had hope that they were geniuses already, therefore viewers are more likely to be so.
2. These characteristics aren't necessary for being a genius, they just happen to always be present in geniuses.
3. People overestimate themselves when given something to compare to (i.e. the descriptions in this video) while they underestimate themselves when asked to evaluate without comparing to anything/anyone else.
4. People lie to themselves if they want to be seen as something, and will gladly lie to others in the same manner.
i dont think that youre a genius if you have to look at this video to make sure....
Actually Intelligent people are often very unsure about themselves
first one is curiosity.... if your curious wouldn't you click on the video, like you did! genius!
Well weirdly enough intelligent people are often more aware of their limitations than let's say the less intelligent ones.
The more you learn, the more you realize how little you know.
Timi Potokar I'm just watching this to be able to listen to the music and scroll down the comments..
Timi Potokar of course they are curious to know
and #6... you dont waste your time with this video. you are smarter then that.
fuck you
u have no idea what mine is idiot
+Bobsyouruncle Wilson +100000000
+Chris Martin than*, "genius"....
you get butt hurt ? awwww cant take it huh
I think my forgetfulness is just because I'm stupid
but actualy,you are genius
Thanks 🤗
Blades Of Grass . Me too.
I am stupid.
Blades Of Grass lack of sleep maybe
I think this 'test' will cause everyone to believe they are naturally born geniuses.
we can all agree
lol
I still think I'm a moron
+Marco Maldonado me too
+Jamey Branham lol
a real genius doesn't wait for someone's approval of their behavior, he's just born curious and indifference when it comes to reasoning, even these signs are not enough description of a true genius
Thats true
Ima Genius!
Im Just Lazy...
i'm with you on that one
I would prefer to be figuring out exactly what i would do in a zombie apocalypse based off climate population and farmable land maps as well as statistics related to blood borne viruses than actually doing work
(No joke i did that during biology)
Me too......I'm starting to question my inner intelligence.
Same :D
Same! 😆
I'm pretty sure that your name says it all
Hold on, you mean to say that not everybody does these things?
They meant that everybody is a genius!
Abhishek Reddy Duh, I not genius? I can tie my own shoe laces (with help).
Actually not everyone does those things. My mother rarely curious about things, even things she knows nothing about. My sister hates being proved wrong.
+StarGalxsity wait I thought they said that genius hate being wrong, well I guess I was wrong
+Commander alpha doge Yep.
I was expecting "You know this is bullshit" as one of the points :(
Cototo Alegría yeah it is
does fanfiction and manga count as reading
Blurryink do subtitles count as reading?
Facchetti Chiara Lol
I sure do hope so
It is technically reading, but I don't think it necessarily means you're a genius. But it also doesn't prove the opposite, too many people think that fanfiction is something for lonely, stupid fifteen year old girl that are in love with Harry Styles. Even people that are in love with Harry Styles or read Phanfiction all the day can be geniuses.
(I actually don't even know who exactly Harry Styles is or how to spell him, it's just an example.)
Anything you read through your eyes makes you a genius. The letters you're reading are little drawings in sequential order. For instance, once you read the Chinese words, they look like drawings, don't they? Reading and looking are so identical in meaning.
it says i am a genius but actually i am dumb as fuck lol but thanks for the compliment
Same here.
same goes for me.
exactly
I agree! You're all morons.
Julsran Welcome to the club.
Its proven then, Im a fucking genius

hahaha...nicely said

+Cototo Alegría Why?
Gamertastic 101 lol. Funniest comment ever.
Then the comment section destroys it

I’m pretty sure everyone does some amount of these things and can convince themselves that it’s because they are a genius
W-well i don't read books i just r-read *whispers: fanfiction...*
I think I've read more fanfictions than books. It unfortunately takes a lot to keep my attention. Fanfiction is surprisingly good at it. JRR Tolkien? Not so much. His writing is so damn dry to me.
same though except i read a lpot of books too
Lol same XD
😏
I have too so...
who says we need to be born with genius DNA to be a genius..?? we can just become a genius growing up...shaping ourselves in the right way😉
choco berry THE TITLE SAYS,"NATURAL BORN GENIUS"
Merridith Chou yeah well u hv a point...bt at least we can improve as much as possible....above what we were born with
AQUA KOP but I'm not saying in the context of the video...I'm saying in general
choco berry you are exactly righr
you are correct
After watching this video..........now what was I going to say?
-applause-
I am not smart
I'm in "gifted" classes, but I feel so dumb compared to everyone else. ._.
+Jay Smith When he said ,,You enjoy reading",i thought of Harry Potter,god knows why.
+GorgeousFancyGirl AJ Tell me about, I don't even know if I am smart...
No. 6 Humility
I mean, these all apply to me, but that doesn't equal being a genius....
a lot of the points are the classic a follows from b so b follows from a mistake zb forgetting things can be associated with high intelligence but that does not mean that if you tend to forget things that you are intelligent...
there are some more logic mistakes in there and I'm also not sure about some of the facts that he bases his argument on.
and even so there's still a different between above average intelligent and genius.
same you could be an idiot or a genius
+Caroline Lewis or a potato.
never forget the potatoes
IKR xD
Same.
Really stupid video.
These apply to like 90%of the population
Most of these comments are people bragging about them being geniuses but I bet that half those comments are lies
I got nothing... and I am most certainly not prod of it. My grades suck I have diagnosed social and mental problems and depression. Thanks world...
+scar cookie don't put yourself down. The moment you tell yourself anything, it becomes true. We all have ups and downs, but don worry, it'll get better.
I know one thing you have... Pessimism. So if you think you have nothing, at least get rid of that thought. I have similar problems but some people (not trying to brag about myself) say im kinda smart
maybeeee
Girl, these comments are not lies. This "test" is just bullcrap
When I see the part "Number 5: You Talk to Yourself" I'm like "They found me out!" Then I realize I'm talking to myself again...
ikr, I was like "fuck yeah!"
wait a minute....
"geniuses tend to forget things"
I cant even remember the things i have forgotten
The problem with how you're considered smart is mostly your common knowledge and how you perform in school when that is incredibly incorrect in my opinion. Everyone has a different brain and the school system doesn't suit everyone yet everyone is being taught the same thing, the same way and given the same system when everyone should be taught differently depending of how they process and how they think and the way they look at different problems. There was also a test online that determined how smart you are by asking you common questions that have to do with history and similar subjects and I've never really gave much attention to history because I know it won't help me in life and knowing when something was invented and by who and knowing who started a specific war and when seems like a complete waste of time and complete useless information that won't help you in any way in the future. Having said that, i still think that I'm not really a genius like this video says and I just decided to share this comment because I've faced a challenge like this where an online test said I was below average for not knowing something specific and I just want to know if anyone relates.
omg this comment needs to be noticed
thank you for summing up all my thoughts in a single comment Diana alsaeed .
Diana Alsaeed watch Prince EA's video "I sued the school system." Your argument holds water
if thats not a copyright your a genius just like me
i love love love ur comment
I talk to my self a lot, i forgot thing fast, i always like to discover thing about the universe and study them, and i love mental challenge. i hate reading but when i read books i can never stop reading it unless i found something else to do. so i'm a GENIUS.
everything imtogood you're so kool. I wish I can be like you dude ;)
Truth Rebel Thx if that was a confident.
You just, you described me lol
that is just like me
everything imtogood same here
"Forgetfulness is a sign of genius."
Well then I am an idiot. I have the memory of an elephant.
Uhm do elephants have good memory?
yup
+That One Gamer Yes, they do indeed have excellent memory
Me too even though my IQ is 176 And I'm 8 E=Mc2 bitch!
8 year olds shouldn't be swearing and I'll bet that's an exaggeration. I mean, where's your punctuation and how would you know your IQ.
I have all signs u mentioned then 🙅WHY I M keep failing in maths !!??
desi pool a genius isn't someone who's good at maths, it can be different subjects such as literature and science that prove your *geniusness*,
woah...i must be a genius, I invented a new word!
Bannoffee Pie People often have been mistaken for intelectuals or people with high IQ . Just because you're good at maths doesn't mean you're a genius . You're good at following orders and making shit work together with formulas that already have been given to you . Being a genius is being creative . When i start drawing people say they see a penis , then they see a cat , then dragon . Being genius is more of being observant , open minded , curious and the most important CREATIVE ( creating things with no data or information given ) That's why A . Einstein was a genius ( he was creative abd curious )
desi pool cause school has nothing to do with intelligence. According to my IQ test I am technically considered a genius but the whole careless memory comes into place I usually can't remember what I ate for dinner the night before let alone the periodic table for example
Sanfawn Yeap.. school just helps you get social skills and improve your skills to manipulate other peoole.
Srsly, geniuses are always trying to get controll, understand, make/create and breake every single rule....
Just so they don't need to be sad and hated..
In my school there are only 2 "smart/genius" people.. or I mean openly.
I have already tought my self to mask up and control others.
He.. not so much
not all smart people are good at maths
Only the last two.... Talking to self and forgetful.... I think I'm just crazy 🙃
Jessica Myers me: listening to a book being read and having to read it again because u have no idea what the book was even about
I enjoy reading
The comments section.
Andrew S. *sigh*
First: Yeah I'm really always curious
Second: You don't have to tell me you learn from reading, I know that. One of the reasons I LOVE books.
Third: yup challenges are always fun
Fourth: Seriously my whole family makes fun of my forgetfulness…
Fifth: Great! I'm sometimes really worried to get kind of insane bc I talk SO MUCH to myself both loud and silent.
But I really don't feel like a genius…
more like a weird potato. cause I'm weird. And I look like a potato. But as least a skinny potato… maybe I'm a fry… or a chip? A crazy chip... sounds kinda cool, right?
Greetings from another chip
I relate to everything you said 😂
us chips need to band together
We are the next generation of chips!!Seriously I like to talk to myself about everything and like to read and search some random stuff and I talk to myself a lot XD it's cool and sometimes I get 10 below in my mid-year exams I got no.3 XD
Shyren mine?
My friend would laugh at the second one and think 'haha I read 24/7 I'm a genius' if she would see this.

PLEASE RESPECT....
WE ARE HUMANS... WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES... JUST FOR A SPELLING?...
1.) I have an unhealthy obsession with wanting to learn everything there is to know about the world. Especially people and phycology.
2.) Reading has become an addiction to me. I also love to write. Over eye past couple years I stopped because I was bullied for liking books and writing, but I'm hoping to get back into it.
3.) I will constantly challenge my friends and other people to basically a knowledge battle. I love to discuss random things about people from favourite animals to veganism to space and the possibility of time travel. And when I'm proven wrong, I love it because then I know more!
4.) I don't really forget things so much as I just zone out and go to my own world. But since I'm in my own world I forget where I am and what I'm doing so I guess I do forget...
5.) Talking to myself is considered normal. One time well walking home, I saw a baseball cap on the ground outside an apartment and had an entire conversation in my head where I ended up becoming a world famous--
--frisbee player. Sorry, I'm on mobile :/ This video basically summed up me as a human xD
+Don't Ask Me too
Haha.... same here.
especially psychology.
the mystery of the brain is awesome.

ARE YOU AN INTP?
I am apparently the stupidest genius ever
And I do talk to myself a bit too much
+Skylord500 I know how you feel 'yes, we do' shut up 'you should shut up' you first! 'no you!'... excuse me I have something annoying to deal with 'me too 😎' argh!
+Skylord500 me too
Yeah.. Me too!!!
I hate when i get caught talking to myself.
but if talking to oneself helps boost memory and it's a common trait of smart people then how come another trait of smart people is forgetfulness? wouldn't the previously stated trait eliminate the latter stated trait?
f S I started when i was 3 and im still doing it . My mom even told a psychologist when i was little . The doctor said im not mentally i'll . I learned to speak multiple languages at age of 7 ( English , Bulgarian , Turkish ) . My English is not the worst , but im still trying to improve . I tested my IQ 3 times total 1st time 104 2nd time 110 3rd time 123 . Im currently 8th grade (14 years old) . But i have problems with memorising non useful data . Like grocery list , homework , school events etc . Im not at multitasking too , but im a beast if i concentrate .
^^^ me when I was age 10-12, stopped doing that cause ya know, school...... I should have taken my own advice to leave school and nurture my capabilities more.... really miss my old self right now...
Anass Rhammar Multiple languages at at 7 with an IQ of 110? Thats impressive. Most people 2 standards deviations away from the average cant do that.
f S smart people tend to ignore simpler things,and are usually absent minded. Most times they are usually thinking about complicated problems
I can relate . It's weird
I AM JUST A POTATO DJKSJDJ
i match with all five I'm gonna tell mom 😂😂😂😂
Justin Bieber saame : D : P
Justin Bieber first thing I thought of when I matched all five too
Justin Bieber sameee 😂
im all of these but my worst one is number 4. it happens almost every day i can forget what i was doing or getting from just walking to another room. i usually pace the floors till i remember what i came in there for cause my mind is always thinking about something.
+Kyono Nodeo tru
+Kyono Nodeo Couldn't agree more
That's because when you enter a new room the brain gets the signal that it has reached a new surrounding and ths it erases the previous temporary memory. Nothing to do with geniusness. It's pretty common with everyone. :/
Hmm. Ok. But I always tend to forget to do homework a lot and need to write it down to remember.
Ill be told to do something and forget right after
"Forgetfulness is a sign of genius"
That's it, I'm a genius *continues being delusional*
I talk to myself... Only in my mind though
Same
Me too and sometimes I laugh with myself.
Ajai Sooryan i do most of the time haha
i talk too much in mind and it persecute me i dont like it phoooo
Even I talk to myself, but in Both ways
If you match all five signs and still doubt you're a genius why not check out ➥ ua-cam.com/video/E_eL6bmjr_w/v-deo.html for seven more unexpected signs you might be a genius.
I match 4 of them. Am I still a genious? Hahah
If you can't even spell genius correct, you are most definitely not a genius. Sorry.
CoolRockstar360 Sorry about the autocorrect then.
being genius doesn't mean you know all the spellings
DinoDudeYT Autocorrect doesn't correct genius to genious???
I enjoy reading but if I have to read a book for English class I will hate it...
Coalgaming Lol
Im actually a genius myself so i know what they mean and what they mean is that if you like to learn a lot of things in a short time or go on a "marathon" of learning then it still applies to you, i dont like reading that much either but i love going on marathons through numberphiles videos to learn a lot.
Tye not telling who Dude, stop trying to make yourself feel better by calling yourself a genius, none of these "signs" have any merit, you can do all these things, have all these traits and still not be a genius. Don't get ahead of yourself kid, and fix your capitalization and punctuation when you're trying to act as if you're smart next time.
I always talk to my self when I'm alone but sometimes some people say that, ''are you crazy?", "is he crazy?"
does it count if you don't like to put time aside for reading, but when I do, it's fun
I matched 4.5 of 5 SO CLOSE
+GamingWithFun15 / GamingWithFunOffline same, I don't match with the first one tho
I matched all of them O.o im an artist not a genius!! No!
+Ashley Lion52 ik how u feelz
Mah art is mah life :3
There's a definite genius behind great art and artists. Leonardo Da Vinci for example, could draw a near-perfect circle freehand.
TBH I matched all of them..... if I don't consider myself as a genius... but now I'm starting to not underestimate my intelligence. :)
NekoRinNya Same
same
Almost everyone has these traits so stfu
I don't know why, but this video really helped with a little self-esteem boost. Normally, I feel like I'm never good enough, never smart enough. My entire life I've needed things explained to me multiple times, in multiple different ways, because I kept forgetting what I needed to do. People also ridiculed me for asking too many questions in class. Like, yes, I know that you were just giving a basic example of how something happens, but WHY? Why does it happen? When did it start happening, and where? Since I relate to all of these things(although i do believe that the forgetfulness if just my ADHD XD), it really helped me feel smarter. And that fact that it didn't actually focus on an IQ number helped as well. I mean, I know that my IQ is 118, which is above average, but I've never really been convinced of that. So this video really helped with my self-esteem, especially since school for me is starting this week. Thanks :)
Next up: 5 things that can describe almost every human being
Oh wait that's this video

Yes, EVERY SINGLE person is curious. EVERY SINGLE person enjoys reading. EVERYTHING SINGLE person enjoys mental challenges. EVERY SINGLE person forgets things (that's true actually), and EVERY SINGLE person talks to themselves.

Im all of these and I'm 14 but I could never compare myself to actual geniuses like Nikola Tesla and Einstein just because I posses similar traits with them
People with a high iq tend to underestimate their intelligence. Personally, I am striving to complete a PhD in the field of mathematics. I have read many math books and textbooks and am many years ahead of my grade. I still feel that it this is not enough however, and that I am not naturally gifted in these abilities.
You aren't like actual geniuses like Tesla or Einstein, that is true. but realize that you have earned the potential to raise yourself to become like them. you may not be as good as they are now, but they were also not as smart in their teenage years compared to when they're in their prime either.

By the way, I wish you succes with your PhD in mathematics, an excellent choice of study.

OK I'm the genius one, but... can you STOP THOSE BUBBLES PLEASE!!!
ha.
gr8 minds think alike
Yes the graphic was distracting and bothersome.
I came to comments to write that!
right its disturbing
C'mon people... The video shared traits that most geniuses have based on numerous studies. It did not say you are for sure a genius if you have all 5 traits... If you have all 5 traits, you have something in common with geniuses and/or may be a genius (not conclusive). If you are a genius, it is likely you will have these traits. Genius also means different things to different people :)
texted like a true natural born
Stephanie Huggins yeah yeah, you're just jealous...
Stephanie Huggins just kidding 😂
Rulo lol jealous that i possess all these traits? That doesn't make sense.
Rulo ;)
People love this kind of stuff. They feel so happy when they have the 5 signs.
lol he isn't a genius 0:09 he said you are one of the most intelligent persons on the planet XD
It is grammatically correct to use 'persons' when referring to the plural of 'person', although, 'people' is now more often used as the plural of 'person'.

+Danya Witt SAME HERE!=D =D
I tend to think I'm a dunce but the signs in this video says my intellect is at a genius level. :/
do you like Harry potter?
I always talk to myself
Nah, most geniuses realize they are geniuses because the fastest way to tell if you're gifted is being around other people. For example: when in class they teach something new and you get it right away and think it's relatively easy, only to find out everybody else is utterly confused and struggling to get the content, leaving you confused as to why other people don't get it when it's so damn simple.
Though in general that may be correct but what if you're average surrounded by under average.
Or a super genius surrounded by geniuses.
(Also if you're willing to just do what your teacher says it's evident.)
Keep in mind though that this only works with advanced forms of education. I've seen people who were like that, that the moment they left school to go onto higher education they lost that trait and became average. (I've seen people like this, straight A's during school with minimal then barely scrape C's with a lot of effort at college.)
True genius would be the guy in the corner staring out the window or something barely paying attention to the tutor that somehow manages to do it without any issues and a lot faster than the others.
Or those that act as additional teachers during class if the teacher can't help everyone.
***** True. Also when even in higher education you get A's without studying one bit when the rest of the class barely get C's with lots of effort
i never considered myself a genius bc of that, do you know just how many people find it understandable? I just consider anyone who finds hard to be either an idiot or super lazy, no offense
temporarily not here yeah, but then when the vast majority of people you ever meet are like that, then you have to question if most of the population on earth are idiots or you are a bit smarter than the rest. I think the latter one is more probable
Most people are not auditory learners, so most people don't learn well in a class because most things are verbally explained. Me personally I think that all people have the potential to be geniuses they just need a teacher who can actually teach them the way they learn, but there are too many people to teach to just focus on the individual, though I wish we could.
Talking to yourself is a sign of genius? Well, I've always said it's better to talk to yourself than converse with an idiot, though sometimes I feel I am when I do talk to myself sometimes. PS: the background graphics were very distracting.
How were they distracting? Watching each one and figuring out all of the paths was interesting.
I enjoyed the animation!
you have to have more than one quality or the chances are thin

Yea I got all 5 and I doubt I'm a genius. I mean look at me! Laying in bed all day with my phone and my 3DS. Is that what geniuses do? Idk
They said in the beginning that most geniuses underestimate their own intelligence. You might have the brains, but the right opportunity for you just hasn't shown up yet.
It's funny, but most people picture mathematicians and chemists when they think of 'geniuses'. The truth of the matter is that you can be a 'genius' of just about any subject. Maybe you just haven't found your inspiration yet.
+ArtStarz I have been thinking about a career in phycology if that's an example of a 'genius'.

*TO ALL THOSE SAYING THAT IQ ONLY MEANS YOU HAVE A GOOD MEMORY:*
Albert Einstein was a genius with terrible memory. Google it and stop being ignorant.
google must be correct(100% originality on the idea to make this post :P(jk))
There are many levels of eidetic memory. Most that have a very high level of eidetic memory can't function well in society. Can you remember the moment you started to walk ? I remember that moment extremely well. I can see my older sister telling my mother "he's walking". My mother turning her head from washing dishes
and looking at me. My older sister with her cat eyed glasses smiling as she's telling my mother. Lol so clearly I'm right there again.
This is called having photographic memory, doesn't necessarily mean you are intelligent in a variety of ways or correlate to your IQ very much. Lol so clearly you're wrong.
I don't know if you've ever taken an IQ test, but they test for multiple different types of intelligence, not just memory. Memory is only one way that you can have a high IQ, but it's entirely possible for a person to have mediocre memory and still score high intelligence for other things like communicative intelligence, inter/intrapersonal intelligence, spatial intelligence, etc.
According to modern terminology IQ does mean memory because it's based off of modernised schooling which is literally memorizing things until you get an A
Einstein was a genius yes, but that doesn't mean that his modern IQ would be high, those tests are made for morons
If I get all five I'll lick my feet
Gets all five...
wash your feet right before you do it...it might help....
i got all five
and now im a nerd
I got four right.. I don't read
+Zac Bon Bon same lol
A good majority of the people I know match all if not some of those signs. This is not how you check for genius. Sure many real geniuses might match those signs, but that doesn't mean you are one just because you do.
Yah, I match all of them and I doubt it means I'm a genius, but for someone with a very active imagination, it's fun to see where this goes. I just came from The Ellen Show where we took this quiz and it turns out I'm the smartest person alive! (That they know of... Ellen thinks the government is hiding something).
See? I just like to make up stories and this is just giving me more ideas to do that!
I'd agree. in all honesty, I slightly believe that many so called geniuses are made, not simply created, though design may play a part in this as well
+Bella Blackmist hmmm interesting. I have watched a video, haven't done my own research on it, from thoughty2's channel about how genetics do play a role on our minds physicality and mentality. If you were born into a genius family, chances are you are also going to be smarter than the average joe, and not because of how they were brought up, but because of genetics. This would make more things clear about relationships and how kids receive their knowledge. To be fair my own mother is not too sharp.. I don't know where I get my imagination from in my family or my constant curiosity to try and understand things.. That also could be the result of a more modern upbringing. Who knows for sure.
*****
Yeah, that it was meant to make money.
+Dia Byz yup lol
I have all these but I have learning disorders. It especially effects my ability to understand basic math problems so I am the opposite of a genius. This test was flawed.
Desiree Wolf the thing is i have ADHD only but i have no problems with learning but i have problems with finding out to many ways of doing thing bcz of my curiosity
Desiree Wolf is there anything that you excel in??
Desiree Wolf you might excel in something else..... U might be a genius in music
lot's of smart people have learning disorders, I know some people who are like that. It doesn't mean you're not intelligent. You just have to find your niche
+Dawan Nongkynrih I am only good at things involving science and biology, also some ancient history. But the fact that it takes forever for me to read or tie my shoes kind of ruins that.
I talk to myself because I like intelligent conservation, it's refered to as thinking out loud, a lot of people simply don't think out loud or think at all for that matter..the # 1 sign of intelligence is when people tell you that you are and when they do tell you that ,always fell flattered and say thank you very much for such a nice complement, modesty is also a sign of intellect..
by the way at the beginning of the video you made a grammatical error. you said most persons instead of most people.
Both refer to groups of humans, but traditionally “people” describes a general group while “persons” portrays a smaller, more specific group.
that isnt an error persons is also used as a plural for a person look in a dictionary or Google if you dont belive me
I cant tell if you ae being sarcastic or not.
+Nikoli Weir obviously sarcasm, there was no grammatical error
Yes there was. The video said most peoples, but the correct term is most people. For this reason you are incorrect
I was talking to myself during this
+sgt. meme I always thought I'm The only one, who's talking to his self.
He me tooooooo
Omg Same!!!! 😂
Same and I got all of them right even I'm only 9(I'm using my mother's account)
I read too many thing aloud to myself :D I annoy people in class too much.
well I'm an idiot haven't even started doing anything and I read "Top 5 signs You're a Natural Born Jesus" good job self
Those 5 things are just like someone wrote my 5 habits. 😮
I hate reading with a burning passion. This is because the school system that I'm in has, since the formative elementary school years, made reading a homework assignment, and you would be punished if you didn't read. It was therefore forced upon me, and I don't enjoy any longer. Now, I've been told that I'm a phenomenal writer, I can read at 1200 wpm on paper, and I love learning other languages. It's just that I don't like reading. I don't know why, and frankly, I wish I did like reading.
Maybe you just need to find the right book?
Why don't you try Of mice and men?
Firstly, I've heard the whole "Find the right book" stuff. No matter what genre, no matter what book I try, I still hate reading. This isn't to say that I don't enjoy a good story, and I love hearing stories, and I'll even read shorter articles or creepypastas. It's the act of reading. Also, when I heard my little sister describe the plot against Of Mice and Men, I didn't like it, and "nothing" is worse than going into something with a negative attitude.
+CK_85 Why not make an account on Audible?
That had to be one of the best answers I've ever seen to anything, on many different levels.
Does anyone not talk to themselves?
I think he means talk out loud to yourself ... the mind continuously talks to it self ... it's called being conscious ...
Me
i talk to myself because i debate with my mind it's like this
me1:i wonder how can we make holograms?????
me2:I think we can do it by tansforming the partycles around it so the partycles can act like the board.
me1:well yyes i think we an do that but how can we program something to do that?????
me:well yes you have a point........hmmmmmmmmmmm.
_________________________________________________________________________
and so on and so forth.
+Micro Alchemy acctually i do the same thinhg like i think about things and i go deeper and in that im making a conversation with myself
Everyone talks to themselves all the time ... even when asleep ... if you shut your mind off ... I think you are dead..
I have all this 5 qualities but I don't consider myself a genius
Yup, same :T
People have said I'm a genius and after this video, I'd have to say: Eh?
Me neither :P
Me too, though #3 was a bit halfway coz I don't like getting proved wrong...
I dunno what to think. ^^;
But the video did also say that people with high IQ tend to underestimate their own intellect.
Perhaps that's another sign that we are geniuses?
+Rubywing4 Oh my God! Thanks for making my day a little better!
2:43 I was preoccupied with trying to learn the pattern the colors move in
1: you’re curious.
Me: Mkay that’s me I’m a genius
2: you enjoy reading
Me: nvm I’m not a genius
A normal person like reading, reading doesn't help very much in your IQ and expanding your mind but being EXTREME CURIOUS is very important to your IQ, knowledge and EXTREME creativity i'm talking for example Albert Einstein and Leonardo da vinci
Way to boost my ego 😂👏
i must be a little bit of a genies, because I have to read everything in my area to feel satisfied, and i talk to myself a lot. STRANGE, IS IT NOT, HOW I TALK TO MYSELF A LOT?! WAIT, THAT RHYMED. SHIT!!
I legit just said that.
*genius
i dont talk to myself i day dream everytime and i really hate it
Alora Simkins says the one who cant spell genius
Jahanzaib Marri i corrected myself in a reply, dude.
genies is genius in french, so there was no mistake in his words ;)
number 1 curiosity : if your neighbour is a pretty girl, then you are a genius
i have all five qualities but i don't think I'm a genius. If anything I'm a little insane, I talk to myself minimum of 4hrs a day.
Nothings wrong with being insane, a lot of insane people can be smarter than you think, or just a sociopath being confused with a psycopath.
You are not on your own,I talk to myself all of the time.Most of the time I am telling myself off for talking too much!I also disagree with a lot of the things I say.Maybe I have a split personality.If that's being a genius,I would rather be stupid. I find I am getting worse as I get older.I am also insanely curious about everything.
legit though
Same
who in the school that einstein studied would had thought that he will be a genius. there is always scepticism in the beginning.
Is it just me or are other people's minds twisted like I can remember stuff quick like multiplication and division, but simple stuff like 4+5 or 9-2 have me confused for a little. Like it only happens on test, it's like I'd see a question about pie times 4 and quickly think 12.56, but when I get to 5+6 I sit there for like 5 mins.
IKR?
i know the struggle
You just described my life 😂! Also spelling
Subtraction is the hardest
what i find funny is i can solve extremely difficult multiplications or multiplications with large numbers very quickly but when its 13 * 3.5 it takes me years to figure out that it's 45.5
Aha cleverest persons... Good job on that grammar
It's grammatically correct.
It's actually correct.
I'm pretty sure that's correct grammar.
+x SnowyLionCub x Was the "Dumbass" part needed? I'm pretty sure it's easy to correct people without swearing at them and sounding like a total jerk. And I don't think you should correct people on their grammar if you can't manage to hit the period button.
lol if you hadn;t known, "est" goes with words with less than 3 syllabus, such as prettiest, but ones with more than (or equal to ) 3 syllabus needs a "most" or a "more" such as most beautiful, or more beautiful. You are welcome. ;)
i talk to myself so much that people think i'm insane. I'm not... My brain just have some ideas running around
Reading is ok aslong as they aren't boring
Using the internet, you can research and learn 10x faster to find information, and sometimes this info isn't accurate, but you can't always trust books for accurate information and lots of times scientists are wrong
I like books that are fictional but still educate in some way
BTW I love your name 😂
same I like interesting books
great man everyone thinks i"m crazy because i talk 2 myself but now im gonna share this to them to prove whose crazy
Thank you! I do everything that this video mentioned except for reading but I would read it if it is interesting. No wonder why I have such a big head for my body.I always thought that I forgot things because my head was to full of other things, I forget things that I have done in the pass, I don't even remember what I did two days ago it will take me a long time But I'll eventually remmember. I did a memory IQ test once and got 14/15 in my visual memory and 15/15 in my verbal memory and everyone in the comments were getting the opposite of my results. And when I am curios about something or disagree about something I talk outloud to myself about it. This has so inspired me to be smarter. Not to smart tho my head might explode, Jks.
me too
ᏙᎬNᎾᎷᎾᏌᔖ ᏩΔᎷᎬᎡᏃᏃᏃ books are my bae
Addie Fisher You fucken slayer!!😂😂
ᏙᎬNᎾᎷᎾᏌᔖ ᏩΔᎷᎬᎡᏃᏃᏃ brain size is irrelevant it's all about amount of brain cells. An example is that Einstein had a smaller brain than the average human but it was packed with cells.
I question if einstein was very smart . he even said as much, but likely he was much smarter then me.
now testla did not fit the agenda so he was played down. even though he was super smart. but i get your point. i guess what i am trying to tell you and other readers. their is a massive hidden truth so huge and profound i cant find the words to fully do it justice.It can be found thru relentless curiosity .
I cant tell people , they must find it for themselves. i guess ,start with tesla. For me ww2 history opened the door. research BT tank and really think about what it means.
you will find everything we were told is skewed.
HOLY CRAP!! At first I thought that this was just a generic " I bet we can prove that you're a genius" test, but the they said that smart people tend to talk to themselves, AND THEN IT FELT LIKE MY BRAIN HAD EXPLODED!!!! I mean, I'm not bragging or anything, but I have been in gifted/advanced classes since second grade. And I talk to myself all the time.Extremely loudly. And make wild arm gestures while I do it. My parents hate this. By the way I'm 14 and in the 8th grade.
actually all of us are genius its just that some of us dont know how to use it right
I am a genius, but I'm still crazy! It's a compliment to me to be crazy.
thank u that is so true!! call me crazy but I'll take it as a complement
Meeee tooooo
Omg same I'm genius but I literally call myself crazy
Sameee
OMG SAME I ONLY GOT 4 RIGHT BUT MY FRIENDS CALL ME WIERD AND CRAZY AND I DONT MIND. SO IF SOMEONE TRY SAY IM CRAZY OR WIERD IN A MEAN WAY I SAY EVERYONE IS CRAZY / WIERD BECAUSE EVERYONE IS UNIQUE OR I SAY I KNOW
So I guess I'm a genius, I possess 4 of these qualities.
Besty1201 Videos all this is a compliment to the world cuz if you think about it everyone does all five of these things. you might or might not be on go get tested to be forreal
Not so fast, this video makes use of the 'Barnum effect'.
These caractaristic proposed within the video are actually possesed by the majority of people.
This doesn't mean that you're not a 'Genius', I'm just saying that justifying the fact that you can call yourself as a Genius can't be done by using this video.
Are you a genius? Who knows, maybe ya, or maybe nah, am I right? ^_^
Besty1201 Videos I have 4 of these too. The only one I dont have is "reading". I HATE to read...
im on mu mums phone (and account ) and i got all of em and i mean 5/5
