Scientists suspect that two relevant properties can provide an indication of intelligence.
A completely different IQ test?
Try it.
Do you fancy a different IQ test?
This one, unlike many other IQ tests, is not about thinking or knowledge questions.
Rather, it's about
personality
.
It is about those
characteristics
that, according to a study by the scientists Norman P. Li and Satoshi Kanazawa, published in the British Journal of Psychlogy, are a sign of high intelligence.
Two questions can be derived from this.

IQ test: two questions about personality

Answer B: No.
2. Question: Do you like to meet your friends as often as possible - instead of just now and then?
Answer A: Yes.
Answer B: No.

IQ test: According to researchers, these are the answers
According to the scientists, these answers are a sign of intelligence:
They are entitled to
the first question
, the
answer B
is selected?
That would be entirely in the spirit of the study.
Because intelligent people, at least claim the authors, basically have no problem with living in cities with a high population density.
In other words: intelligent people would have adapted to modern life.
With
regard to
the
second question
, one may at least believe the scientists,
answer B
suggests special intelligence.
According to the tenor of the study, particularly intelligent people usually have fewer
friends
and would also like
to
spend
time alone
.
However, that doesn't say anything about the quality of friendships;
the few friendships could be all the more intimate.
