Talking To Yourself

It’s not a sign of being insane to speak to yourself – on the contrary. A study has found that speaking loudly to yourself improves self-control, an important type of intelligence. A set of tasks was given to participants in the study and written instructions, asking them to read them out loud or silently. Those who were reading aloud turned out to be far better at the tasks. This is why, during games, many professional athletes talk to themselves out loud.

Alone Is Good

If you’re someone who enjoys your own business and doesn’t need to be surrounded by people all the time, that’s a sign of intelligence. A psychological study has demonstrated a connection between the pleasure of being alone and intelligence. Being on your own gives you more time for thinking, prioritizing, and planning – this also strengthens self-control. This study suggested that smart individuals get less satisfaction than others from socializing with friends.
