High Intelligence IRL

No.19419131 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
What are some signs that show someone has a high IQ? The kind of things you can notice within moments of meeting or by spending a few hours with someone?

I have a few anecdotal ones:
>Friendly, but detached. Like they know they have to play the social game but don't find it important (they have better things to think about).
>Can hold a conversation on a wide range of topics.
>Suddenly light up when esoteric topics come up - they are energised whereas before it was just going through the motions (even their going through the motions is higher level than most people's high effort)
>have a habit of cutting through the crap and saying things very clearly and succinctly. This often shocks people around them with its accuracy.

>inb4 IQ score. I don't give a fuck about that - I'm talking IRL signs which don't involve asking someone's IQ like an autist.
>inb4 is successful businessman/tech guy.
hell no. It's the midwits that thrive there (I am one).
