12 characteristics of people with high IQ index
According to scientific sources, scientists have been studying for a long time about the external characteristics or habits to assert high or low human IQ score.
No smoking
According to scientific reports published by Dailymail, smokers between the ages of 18 and 21 have an IQ of about 94. If not smoking, they can reach IQ 101 index.
Smoking a lot even confirms that you are a lack of intelligence. People who smoke more than 1 pack of cigarettes per day only have an IQ of 90 points. And in a sibling couple, the non-smoker is always smarter than the other.
Study music
Scientists assert that learning music can help children develop a lot of skills. First, the verbal intelligence of a child about 4 - 6 years old will increase after only 1 month of studying music.
The results of a study in 2004 with a 6-year-old who attended a music course for nine months showed that the level of intelligence and understanding increased significantly.
Elders
Elders are usually smarter, so they tend to be more successful at work than their younger siblings.
A study in 2007 showed that elder siblings often have an IQ score higher than 3 point compared to their nearest sibling.
Not fat
French scientists have implemented a survey based on 2,200 people within 5 years to determine whether becoming fatter affects people's cognitive abilities.
And the results show that they are inversely proportional to each other: The small waist shows better cognitive ability.
In particular, people with a low body mass index (BMI), less than 20 can remember about 56% of words in a memory test. Those who own a BMI higher than 30 only remember about 44%.
More seriously, after 5 years, they were re-examined and that their body is fatter made their memory ability reduced by 37.5% more. This proves that a healthy, symmetric body can help you have a clearer mind. If you want to about your IQ. Take a free IQ test now here.
Breed cats
Dog owners have been studied and concluded to be more approachable and opener than those who breed cats. However, when tested intellectually, cat owners often do better.
Scientists explain that dog owners tend to walk their pets and become more open.
Cat owners often live more intently, they often like being at home and reading books while stroking their cat. And it is this difference that leads to their intelligence higher than dog owners.
Grow kids by breast milk
More than 3,000 babies in New Zealand and the United Kingdom have been studied and scientists have found that: if they are fully fed by breast milk, the child's mind will grow to 7 IQ points if that child owns a special gene called FADS2.
This gene is thought to be able to control the fatty acids' pathways and help children make better use of excellent nutrition from breast milk or develop their brain faster.
Use stimulants
More than 6,000 people participated in a quite strange study that showed an association between high-IQ score when you are young and using of stimulants afterwards.
And as a result, these two issues are really related to each other. So, strangely, a person using stimulants at the present time can have a pretty high IQ when he is young.
Left-hander
Those who are left-handed are rarer than right-handed people. And despite the fact that they always have to find ways to mingle with the other half, their intellect is even claimed to be higher.
Left-handed people can develop the "divergent thinking" ability - the creative ability needed to create new ideas.
People who are easy to trust are often smart
Oxford University researchers based on a general social survey that was conducted in the United States to survey public opinion.
Thereby, the results show that those who are smart or have high IQ often tend to trust others.
Scientists say these are the smartest people in identifying and evaluating opposite people’ personality and so they tend to form and develop relationships with trustworthy and absolutely loyal people.
Turn yourself into "night owl"
Most of us think that smart people are those who can control their life well, healthy living and moderation. However, scientific studies have proved the opposite. One of the typical manifestations is that "night owls" possess intelligence superior to ordinary people.
To prove this statement, scientists at Liege University (Belgium) conducted an experiment to compare two groups of volunteers: sleeping early and sleeping late.
Both are required to do tasks which exacted you to focus highly while experts use magnetic resonance cameras to monitor their brain activity.
The results showed that, after 10 hours, the level of concentration of brain of the soon sleeping group decreased sharply while the late sleeping group did not completely change.
In fact, this is the result of evolution in human history. Since ancient times, our ancestors had a tendency to eat and work during the day and seek shelter in caves at night.
According to researchers, going against this trend is a symbol of intelligence. In fact, famous geniuses like Charles Darwin or Winston Churchill usually go to bed at 4 am.
A faithful lover
Sex is considered as the inherent natural instinct of human beings and it doesn’t seem to have a connection with intelligence. However, according to experts, the sexual response in men can be said to be a smart man.
Our ancestors in the early days, especially Adam's concepts, they were very open about sex. Having sex or sleeping with many women is simply understood as the act of maintaining the race, similar to the animals.
Therefore, faithful men,who only love and live with a partner, are against the general trend of society. And according to experts, it is also a symbol of intelligence.
Another independent study by the University of North Carolina also showed similar results.
Accordingly, up to 39.8% of young men with average IQ (90-110) had sexual intercourse while this figure among intelligent young men (IQ above 110) was only 29.2 %
Concurrently, this study also showed that adolescents with IQ 100 are able to eat "forbidden fruits" 1.5 to 5 times as many as teenagers with 120-130 IQ.
Smart people often have mother with serious morning sickness during pregnancy
Science has proven that intelligence is partly due to genetic factors. However, few people know that if a pregnant mother becomes serious morning sickness, it means that the baby will become smarter.
Although the phenomenon of pregnant morning sickness makes their mothers uncomfortable, it is considered to be beneficial to the child's intelligence.
According to Reuters, a number of scientists group led by Dr. Irena Nulman have proved this statement.
Experiments conducted on 121 Canadian children from 3 - 7 years showed that children with severe morning sickness had sharply higher IQ score, especially in memory and language ability.
In particular, experts said that having morning sickness usually occurs in the first months of pregnancy. Though this phenomenon makes the mother uncomfortable, it is really good for the fetus.
Persistent nausea during pregnancy is associated with special stimuli necessary for the long-term development of young children, reducing the rate of miscarriage and still birth. Therefore, a part of maternal morning sickness can increase intelligence for the child.
A "technology blind"
Acquiring new science and technology is something worth encouraging, but if you are too abusive, they will threaten the development of your intelligence.
According to The Times Online, if you use electronic devices much, especially sending a message, it can cause “informania” status.
Technology believers are often less appreciated for their intellectuals, while technology blinds have a high IQ index.
According to British researchers, people with "infomania" really have troubles with intelligence. IQ of these people decreased by 4 points compared to the use of stimulants such as drugs, marijuana.
In other hand, if you are "blind technology" a little, it will help you a lot in developing intelligence.
