Some Signs Of High Intelligence

Please note: This brief was taken out of  many answers on the quora website. Thanks.

To edit my answer better, and elaborate on the points I made, these are very basic compared the pure nature of high IQ which is typically more dynamic and strange than just these points.

To once again edit and avoid some confusion, I know and see some people read my answer as entirely ADHD, I do have it; yes. Quite ironic how I mentioned it first. But to clear up confusion, high IQ from my perspective does have some aspect of thought rumination that is not ADHD.

So to continue, I'll example better points such as what other people have mentioned as well.

• Being a lone person, someone who thinks on their own away from the crowd
• Collected, well thought out intuition
• Visualization skills such as spatial memory which can be applied to artwork or other creative forms
• Hyperthymesia (unnormal and oddly large memory of childhood)
• Strange different interests such as specific and/or advanced subjects that others are not aware of at their level standard

And the ADHD points as an interaction between high IQ and ADHD:

• Inability to prevent certain ruminative thoughts [ADHD related so that certain ideas or concepts in tunnel vision seem important and to be focused on actively]
• reading several books at once (different pages from each book alternatively and taking away a lot of information from a small passage)
• writing with full-heart intent on numerous topics
• feeling concealed and thinking inside your head
• having many like-minded people that may be above your age or the same age and older
• having social misunderstandings that make it complicated to think in a well-thought-out fashion
• having an addictive personality, or some type of schedule that makes sense to you because of time management [chewing gum, exercising in different ways, listening to music on repeat]

But there's more to this, these points are only so common and since this is picking up more traction. I'll make some more points.

• Extreme interest and care to explain to other people
• The extreme want to teach others, or share the facts or opinions with someone else
• Making strong connections to only certain people that agree with very specific aspects
• Making connections to fields of knowledge which generally wouldn't normally be put together.
• Umbrella ways of branching thought patterns (umbral studies)
• Knowing many things at once, and only practicing a group of them at a time before getting burn out and moving onto another set

Now I've come to a strange predicament. I was sitting at my desk and my mom comes in and says “River I need to talk to you" going on to rant about school work, she pointed to my desk with her eyes, and said, “I don't like how you are so careless with your space, you have so many books all over the floor and desk, your surrounded by books”

And I said: “yeah, and?”

She says: “yeah, that's not normal", that's when I realized I think at my desk, my life is at my desk, I work for life at my desk and have since I moved In, I'm genius, I'm not normal, I have physics notes and everything all over the place.

So, adding to the list:

• Seclusion, hoarding, surrounding yourself with like items, and tunnel vision all together

Getting some comments asking whether it's anecdotal or not, I'd say partially. 

I took a lot from online stories, myself, education videos, and friends as my sources. Have a nice day.

20 Ways To Make Life Easier

1. Be driven by ambition, not by greed. Ambition seeks to make you the best that you can be. Greed seeks to destroy you.
2. Do not seek to become rich. Getting rich comes at a heavy price. You will encounter many challenges and sorrows. Seek to lead a fulfilling life that is financially comfortable.
3. Throw away junk. Give it away to charity. Only keep what you need.
4. Always keep a packed travel bag ready with a few essential belongings such as clothes, a towel, a toothbrush and toothpaste, bathing soap, a comb, and some cash. This comes in handy for an emergency when you have no time to pack.
5. Don’t make a habit of walking with a lot of cash in your wallet.
6. Never flash your wallet in a crowded place such a bus station, a cafeteria, bar or restaurant.
7. Never brag about how much money you have or the kind of job you have. You may attract unnecessary enemies.
8. Use public transport or a bicycle as much as possible.
9. Avoid unnecessary time-wastage and gossip. They only make you poorer.
10. Create extra time for yourself by waking up earlier and completing some of your daily chores early. You will create more time for yourself for your daily activities.
11. Avoid sadness by meditating or praying when you wake up. This sets the tone for your day and prepares you spiritually and psychologically to face the challenges of the day.
12. Connect with people and genuinely help people. They are your source of inspiration. Besides, you can’t do without them.
13. Strive to become a happy person — not necessarily a successful person. Happiness can be extended to other people through laughter. The effect of this could cut your medical bill by half.
14. Avoid unnecessary spending and instead, save or invest your money for your future or the future of your children.
15. Avoid borrowing at any cost. Borrowing only makes you a slave to the lender. Besides, the debt may overflow and become a burden to your children.
16. Only eat what your body needs. Eat quality — not quantity. Quantity only makes your body obese while increasing your medical bill. Besides, this can significantly reduce your monthly expenses.
17. Strive to have quality education — not quality entertainment. This is how to get richer.
18. Encourage your children to become financially literate by denying them money. Let them work for the money and when they grow they will know how to take care of money.
19. Spend the most time with your family and loved ones, for these are the only people you can fall back to.
20. Learn to be satisfied with the little you have and be grateful for it. For there is someone out there who is praying to get even that little you have.

14 Uncommon Habits That Contribute To Success

 1. Sacrificing important things. In the end, we all only have 24 hours in a day. To reach success you have to sacrifice spending time on important things to be able to have more time to spend on the things that really matter. Check every week what you can give up to gain something better.

2. Believing what you want instead of what others tell you. Most beliefs people hold are not based on fact and are not true whatsoever. Get into the habit of believing that which empowers you and makes you feel amazing instead of the things that others tell you to believe. If it is not certain what is real, believe the thing that makes you feel better.

3. Getting motivated. Motivation is an emotion that doesn’t last, but that is of enormous help. Find things that motivate you every day.

4. Thinking less. Thought usually hinders us in our actions. When we think about things to do we tend to think about ways it can go wrong or reasons why we shouldn’t do something. Stop thinking and start doing.

5. Going to bed early. To be at the top of your game you need enough sleep. Yes, successful people get up somewhere between 4 and 6 in the morning, but they can only do that because they go to bed between 9 and 11 in the evening.

6. Keeping track of your progress. Even though you may believe that you know, unless you can actually see the evidence in front of you, you will never know for sure. Know exactly how you spend your time and how you are doing in your habits. If you are really motivated: Graph it!

7. Having a clean space. Keep your apartment, room, and/or house clean. Leave as little clutter as you can, and always take care of the mess right away. Anything that aids your motivation and makes you feel great is worth doing.

8. Speaking only positively about your future. Say things as if they already happened, or as if there is no way they will not happen. If you believe it is a fact that you will get an amazing life, you will act accordingly and receive it.

9. Gratitude. Thank as many things and people as you can. Most successful people come from a place where they had absolutely nothing, which is why they are grateful about every little thing that they have. This makes even the most simple things special and amazing.

10. Doing it all. Whenever you see tips online, or hear about some great strategies, do them all. You can never have enough of a good thing when it comes to reaching success.

11. Never giving up on what matters. If you want something, find a way to get it. Not because you necessarily want that thing that bad, but instead because you absolutely have to prove to yourself that you can get whatever you set your mind to.

12. Doing what you said you would no matter what. Success comes from not giving up halfway through. Everyone is on the way to be successful in what they do, but only 1% of all people actually see it through. Do what you said you would. No matter what!

13. Spending more money on yourself. Not on beauty products, clothes or video games, but instead on gathering information, finding connections and learning more through books. Spend money on the only thing that lasts: Yourself.

14. Stop caring. Not only about the people around you, but also about whether or not you will accomplish your goal. The less you care about it, the less stress you will experience when you work, which will make your work more fun and you will get to success much faster than you thought you could. Stop chasing it and you will get it.
