4 Habit Weird Smart People Are Rarely Realized:

1. Likes to take cold showers

Anyone may be able to take a cold shower, but it turns out that cold showers are a habit of intelligent people.

A study from Finland showed winter swimming was an adaptation to cold water that was associated with significant reductions in tension and fatigue, as well as improved mood and memory.

In other words, cold showers can improve brain function and productivity.

2. Chewing gum

Have you ever met someone who has a habit of chewing gum? It could be that the person you meet is an intelligent person.

A study from Northwestern University, United States shows people with high creative cognition tend to have an inability to filter out information that can be distracting.

In this case, chewing habits are associated with intelligent people who want to focus more on work or thinking without being distracted.

Researchers suspect that this habit is related to the same reasons as the habit of intelligent people who like to stay up late to work without distractions.

3. Cursing or swearing

The habit of swearing is often identified as the habit of people who are less educated and less intelligent.

However, a study by researcher Timothy Jay, PhD, and team, found that in general, people who used to curse had a larger or larger vocabulary.

“Swearing fluency was positively correlated with overall verbal fluency,” said Dr. Jay, quoted from The Health.

This also shows the existence of language skills which is one of the characteristics of intelligent people. So it’s no wonder smart people know more swear words even though they don’t use them all the time.

4. Speak for yourself

Talking to yourself is often considered a strange habit like crazy. Whereas self-talk is a sign of higher thinking, memory and perception abilities, aka a sign of intelligence.

Study researchers from the University of Wisconsin and the University of Pennsylvania conducted a study by asking participants to remember and find objects.

Participants who said object names aloud were better able to remember lists of items to look for than those who kept them in their heads.

“Language is not just a communication system, but I would argue that it can improve perception, improve thinking,” explains study author Gary Lupyan, PhD.

In addition, by voicing the names of familiar objects, automatically activates visual properties in the brain to help someone find the object in question.
