There are a lot of people who are intelligent, but people do not think that they are because they do not follow the rules. Those who score higher in tests are perceived to be more intelligent than those who do not score that high. People who are always ready to conform to society are considered to be wiser as compared to their peers.
With this type of belief that people have about intelligence, do you think that you are intelligent or not? You should not let the standard way of measuring intelligence to stop you from formulating new ideas. Here are some signs that you are intelligent:
1. Being An Introvert
A lot of people say that introverted people are normally more intelligent than extroverts. This is based on scientific fact. People with higher IQs are introverts.

2. Accepting You Don’t Know Everything!
You do not have to worry about admitting that there are some things you do not know. If you are not sure about the history of an individual’s country, you will not make up things just to impress. When you are open to learning new things, this proves that you are more intelligent than others.
3. Being Open-Minded
You know that there are different things in life that you will fail to understand, but you are still willing to try your best to find out more about this stuff. People have different opinions, and you would not make an effort to make them change their minds. You do not have to fight with other people just to get your message across.

4. Stay Awake At Night
According to research, people who regularly stay up late are considered to be more intelligent than those who sleep early. Some people who learn about this automatically make this an excuse to stay up longer at night, but this does not work that way. Rather, those who are more intelligent just tend to stay up late.
5. Sense of Humor
If you can make other people laugh, this means that your IQ is higher than others. You are usually more creative than others, and you can think of the right things to say. They also tend to contribute some information at exactly the right time.

6. Stay Curious About Things
If you are always passionate about learning new things, this is a sign that you are intelligent.
7. Be Sensitive
Some people think that to become intelligent; they have to be bad towards other people. Some think that they have to be conniving and step over the egos of other people in order to get to the top. This is not true at all. When you are intelligent, you can normally tell when someone is not feeling great. When you are emotionally intelligent, this makes you different from a lot of people. This is not something that everyone can attain.
You may have a natural tendency to gravitate towards people who have amazing stories to tell because you want to know more about them. This is also a sign of intelligence.
