Many people think that to be intelligent you need to score 10 on math tests or quote from classical works of Literature. But it's not quite there.
These are, yes, things that prove a great amount of knowledge. However, being smart goes beyond that. Did you know that IQ can also be measured by skills, wisdom and even emotional control?

Discover 8 practices prohibited in Brazil, but accepted globally
You yourself, who is on the other side of the screen, may be a very intelligent person and not even know it – but, of course, everyone around you already knows and respects you for it.
Still have doubts? Take a look at these six attitudes that only high IQ people have in their everyday lives.
They think differently than everyone else
Only very intelligent and interesting people can think “outside the box” and find different solutions to everyday obstacles. This is quite a quality! If you have it, be proud!
They are creative
Have you ever thought about how intelligent a person needs to be to have creativity? Bring together references from different sources and create something completely new? Or even come up with something totally original straight out of the box?
And good humored
The same goes for funny and humorous people. Think of a joke – and execute it timing correct, mainly – it demands a lot of effort from the gray matter.
And very curious
Intelligent people also tend to be much more curious than the majority of the population. It is by questioning what has already been done and thinking about new solutions to a problem that the best and most ingenious ideas are born.
They are aware of their own limits
Here we enter a little into the field of self knowledge. Those who are truly intelligent know how far they can or can go. They rarely take too many steps or take risks just to prove something to others. Paying for this trouble is not up to these people.
And they watch what they say
Going more or less along these lines, those with higher IQ think a lot before saying anything. They know the power of their words and how any pronoun, if placed out of place, can cause a disastrous situation.
