What are some ways to tell how intelligent someone is by observing them?

Question

I know its a loaded question... but try your best.

Answer 1

Behavioral observation can look for stereotypic signs. Situations that involve coping with problems, or compensating for distractions can be used in evaluation of intellectual and personality functioning. Certain limitations must be ruled out because a lack of color perception can mislead an observer who assumes there is a perceptual function that actually does not exist. Finding color embedded figures and drawing symmetrically are standard tests to rule out visual impairment.

Answer 3

I have to agree with danielle.  All those traits are definitely a sign of low intelligence.  Of course, she might mean high intelligence, but I doubt it.  She didn't say.

As we all know, a nerdy nose-picking guy with a pocket protector, and tape around the nose bridge on his glasses will likely become the next Bill Gates (especially if he is trying to remove ear wax by rooting around in his ear with a pen).

Answer 4

danielle what does all the things you just listed apart from the speaking style have to do with intelligence? I don's think that Einsteins physical shape or hair style indicated how intelligent he was!

To answer the question, i have to tell you that there are many types of intelligence which you can read on briefly here: http://skyview.vansd.org/lschmidt/Projec...
