If that’s the case, I can apply for Mensa with my IQ level!
This has the Internet in quite the pickle as we know, us netizens are generally slobs. But a couple of studies show that our supposed ‘bad habits’ are actually an intelligence trait!
1. Smart People Curse A Lot!
Would that put Malaysia near the top on global IQ? I mean, we can curse in 4-6 languages easy! Gotta love being a multilingual nation.
Apparently a study came out a while ago where they took people and got them to name as many curse words they know in a minute. After that they made them sit for a legit IQ test. What they found is that those that knew more curse words tend to score higher marks!
Smart People Stay Up Late
Yes, apparently studies revealed all you buggers that love playing cc and hitting up mamaks till the wee hours are like that because you guys are geniuses!
Want some proof? Well Barack Obama, Charles Darwin, Winston Churchill, Keith Richards and Elvis Presley are all well known for their nocturnal activities.
Also, ladies, I can go all night if you’re up for some ‘nocturnal activities’ yourself! 😉
Smart People Are Messy AF!
God if this keeps up, my IQ is probably around 175! Apparently the study that looked into this looked at “geniuses” and found most of their desks to be cluttered.
They theorised that perhaps people with high IQs are too preoccupied with other thoughts to concern themselves with petty things like clearing their desk. They also suggest that a messy desk may help with the creative process.
“Disorderly environments seem to inspire breaking free of tradition, which can produce fresh insights. Orderly environments, in contrast, encourage convention and playing it safe.”
– Kathleen Vohs, Psychological Scientist
So how? Dare to show this to your parents that you being a slob means you’re smart?
