You have lots of self-control
Intelligent people tend to have strong self-control and can resist making impulsive decisions. A group of psychologists from Yale and other universities tested this in 2009 with a study published in Psychological Science. They tested how self-control relates to intelligence by giving participants intelligence tests and offering them reward money. The participants could choose to be paid immediately, or wait longer and be paid a higher amount. The people who chose to wait for the money tended to have the better scores on the test. If you have a strong tendency to weigh all of your options, and can resist making impulsive decisions, it might be time to embrace your inner genius. Check out the scientifically proven ways to look smarter.
