Sometimes people seem smarter than they are, as scientific studies show.
This knowledge can be used - not only at work, but also privately.
Would you have guessed?
Be jealous of
colleagues at work
*
because they are simply better than you?
That hasn't helped anyone yet.
On the contrary.
Those who are aware of their own
strengths
should definitely
work
on their
weaknesses
.
On the other hand, feelings of envy are more of a hindrance and can lead to internal blockages.
Use these tricks to appear smarter
At least the impression we make on others at work or in our private lives can be influenced - a few simple tricks that supposedly
make
us
appear more intelligent
should help
.
Here some examples:
Tempo:
accepted time, go with a group of colleagues during the lunch break a round of
walking
.
Then pay attention to how fast you go yourself - whether you rush ahead or rather slower than the others.
Because: According to a study by the University of Bosten, people appear more intelligent who move at the same speed as the other people around them.
Visual aid:
do you wear glasses?
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh came to the conclusion of a study published in the journal Nature that people who suffer from myopia are considered more intelligent than others.
According to the study, however, farsighted people are not necessarily more intelligent, the Guardian reported on another detail of the study.
For the first impression, however, this subtle difference should not play a major role.
Clothes
:
According to a study, clothes can also influence how intelligent someone appears to other people.
For example, the study came to the conclusion that people in white coats do better than other people on tests that require a high level of concentration, as the Business Insider quoted from the study.

Of course, you shouldn't change your behavior completely, let alone (for appearances), for example, suddenly appear in the office with glasses on.
Nevertheless, the knowledge that we might affect others differently than we really are can help us to behave in one direction or the other in some situations.
