11 amazing signs of intelligence

There are several ways of measuring intelligence. Most people think having a high IQ is the most important measure. But emotional intelligence and creativity also play a role. Consider these 11 amazing signs of intelligence.

1. You taped two toothbrush heads together so you can brush your top and bottom teeth at the same time.

2. You invented boots that allow you to walk on water, but they only work if you are listening to an audiobook of the New Testament at the same time.

3. You wrote a follow up to the Star Wars series called “Star Tired.”

4. You can speak several languages that you’ve never studied. However, you can’t hear anything from others in those same languages so you just talk to yourself.

5. You made the US Olympic bobsled team as the only member who’s job is to skate down the run after them shouting, “Your mother never loved you!”

6. You’ve traveled to 115 countries, 25 of which you made up.

7. You’ve written five books on how to survive divorce but you’ve never been married. Your ideas are based on the seven years you played Call of Duty alone in your mom’s basement.

8. You think aspirin, acetaminophen and other pain relievers are great, so you invented one called DomacidoPlomingo which cures headaches caused by trying to drive through Rome during rush hour.

9. Sure, travel to Mars is important. But you proposed to NASA a series of spaceship travels to the sun itself using technology you developed the four years you spent at college in Arizona.

10. You are selling your latest art project for $1 trillion. Called Laundry Day, it’s a clothesline stretching from New York City to Los Angeles. Locals near the line can dry their laundry for free the entire month of August.

11. You figured out why we yawn, a solution no scientist had as yet discovered. The reason we yawn, you assert, is to make us think we are too tired to vandalize our loved one’s Hamilton soundtrack they play 75 times a day.
