How people with high IQ speak

There are many blogs and videos streaming the characteristics of people with high IQs, but seeing is believing.

If you want to know the characteristics of people with high IQs, I thought that the easiest way would be to actually see people with high IQs, so I collected videos showing people with high IQs talking.

Let's watch them!

People who have too high an IQ to be able to blend in with society.

First of all, it is a program called ABEMA Pirme, which broadcasts various social issues online.

The theme is the difficulty of life that people with high IQ feel in social life.

In interviews, people with high IQs talk about their feelings.

What did you think.

It gives the impression of being quite relaxed and calm.

IQ Guinness World Holder

Next is Marilyn Vos Savant, who has an IQ of over 300 and is a Guinness World Record holder.

In the first part, she is talking about her own upbringing in a matter-of-fact manner, so in the video, the time is specified for the part where she is thinking and talking. (If you are interested, please try playing from the beginning)

It feels pretty calm too.

Well, when she's spending teatime with her friends, she might say a lot more like the old lady next door, but that's how high IQ Guinness World holders speak.

By the way, she herself said, "The intelligence is related to various factors, and attempts to measure the intelligence are meaningless.''

High IQ Streamer

Next is a video of Kawauso, a streamer on YouTube with a high IQ.

He has a history of being a Mensa member who has been tested and proven to have an IQ in the top 2% of the population.

This person also speaks concisely what he wants to convey with a very calm face.

It's a way of speaking that's streamlined and coherent.

The site that summarizes the characteristics of people with high IQ is wrong, and it is easy to understand how people with high IQ think differently from ordinary people.

Why people with high IQ are calm.

Because they speak with theory rather than emotion.

Apparently, "high IQ = fast thinking = fast speaking" may be a strong stereotype.

As seen in Light Yagami and L in "Death Note," smart people in dramas and manga are taciturn.

Speaking quickly is more likely to be emotional than thinking.

I often see such quick talk at water cooler meetings, such as having fun or wanting to vent bad feelings.

Or it may be malicious, such as trying to manipulate the interlocutor.

Scammers try to gain an advantage over their opponents by trying to attract people with words that are pleasant to listen to or using machine-gun talk to avoid giving the other person a chance to think.

That kind of fast-talking is their manual and what they've learned in training.

If you're just smart, you'll only talk about the main points, so the number of words may be less.

Since it is only the main point, it may be difficult for others to understand because the amount of information is insufficient.

Because they have identity.

People who want to be seen as smart by others generally have no choice but to perform.

It's a quick talk or a display of knowledge.

It's just general impressions and opinions like a Google search.

On the other hand, it is difficult to be recognized for its content.

In the first place, the Mensa level is the top 2% of the world's population, so there are only a limited number of people who can understand what smart people are saying.

However, a truly smart person has established that as their identity, so there is no need for others to think they are smart.

In other words, identity gives you self-satisfaction.

Or maybe you've used your smarts to get a lucrative job and earn a decent income.

You don't need to be praised by people, and you don't need to make money by flattering people.

It's become a habit to complain and not be understood

Perhaps people with high IQ think that it doesn't matter whether the other person understands or not when speaking.

No, of course they would be happy if people could understand them, but they have experienced many times that other people cannot easily understand other people's thoughts.

That's why they feel that it's all right even if they are not understood.

This kind of honesty may be what makes people with high IQ speak in a relaxed and relaxed manner.
