There are many people who yearn for smart people, but do you know how smart you are unless you measure them with IQ? In fact, smart people have certain characteristics, and by knowing them, you can know how smart you are without having to measure IQ. This time, I will explain the characteristics of smart people and bad people.
Stupid = strong cognitive distortion
First of all, being foolish means that there is a cognitive distortion. Cognitive distortion is a distortion in the negative direction, such as when there is a distortion in the way we perceive things, and even if we receive advice from a person, we cannot accept advice from a completely different perspective. Because of this, they tend to hate themselves and act short-circuited. The point is that the foolish person is losing money.
Whether or not you have a cognitive distortion is called "automatic thinking," and it is important to know how you unconsciously think when something happens. Automatic thinking reflects experience and personality, and knowing this thinking allows you to know if you have a cognitive distortion.
Specifically, cognitive distortion is an attitude that does not recognize the gray zone, for example, by trying to clarify whether things are white or black. This is an idea that makes it easy to make enemies and creates stress. There are other over-generalizations, such as deciding that this is the case for cases that are only experienced by a small number of people or have little evidence, or fearing that one failure will result in the same. is. For example, when young people are mentioned in the news, it is generalized as "recent young people".
Furthermore, there is a leap to the conclusion, and there are over-reading of the mind and mistakes of pre-reading. Both are characterized by inadequate evidence to conclude the worst case.
The thought of what to do is also a characteristic of a foolish person. I make my own ideal image, and when I can't keep it, I get frustrated by the people around me and despise myself.
Others think it's their fault, even though it's not related to them, and make them depressed, while others think it's their fault, even though they're not related to them.
Another common idea among Japanese people is that when they fail, they tend to think bigger than necessary, and when they succeed, they tend to underestimate themselves. If this goes too far, fear and anxiety will grow unnecessarily.
There are also people who say that they are labeled and that one mistake makes them think badly about their humanity. Everyone has the distortions of the thoughts listed, but when this becomes extreme, people will think that they are crazy.
Characteristics of smart people
On the other hand, one of the characteristics of a smart person is that he / she is not distracted by his / her surroundings. It's enviable that you can concentrate for a long time without worrying about the noise around you.
Also, it is said that many night-owls are smart people. In other words, it means late sleep and late wake up. After that, intelligent people are highly adaptable and flexible, and adapt well to their surroundings.
The other thing is how much you are aware of what you do not know, which is the so-called "ignorant wisdom." A smart person can honestly admit that he doesn't know, but a smart person overestimates himself and doesn't want to admit that he doesn't know.
Also, smart people are very curious, which Einstein says, "Curiosity is the secret of a genius." It is important to have a strong curiosity and pursue new things.
Or, a smart person has the surprising feature of loneliness. One study found that ordinary people were happy enough to spend more time with their friends, while people with high IQ scores weren't happy with their lives. This shows that smart people often have big life goals and are not happy with interacting with ordinary friends.
Also, smart people are good at finding commonalities, and their application power is effective. Another point is that while you have a strong sense of self-control and can control yourself, you are good at making big progress with outlandish ideas that are out of the ordinary.
