Do you ever feel like you have to wait for othes to catch up?
This thread seems like a quick way to get in trouble.
Seconded...also, I think there is something to be said for someone who assumes they really are more intelligent than others xDOriginally Posted by Syock
What frustrates you the most about being more intelligent than others?
The fact that I'm not more intelligent than others. I especially envy those who are far more people smart and socially savvy than I, which I consider to be not only useful and admirable but potentially some fun. Emotional intelligence is something I respect, as well, as I am highly deficient in that quotient.
The big issue for me is really a frustration from not communicating effectively with all others. People have assumed that I am angry with them, when in truth I am frustrated that I could not get my message across clearly to share my "Ah hah!" moment with them to share the fulfillment it brings me, personally, and hopefully continue from there to share more with each other. I see it as a failure on my part, like I've personally defeated myself as the result was that I had been misunderstood.
The extremely long time it takes for others to catch up. I'll have spoken heaps of sentences before I discover, to my unfathomable dismay, that I was hardly understood beyond my first words !
We have a superiority complex thread over in the NT section. Do We have a superiority complex?
It's not a complex !!
It's the unquestionable truth !
I hate when that happens. The question I have to ask though is are we communicating effectively when that is happening? Is it our fault or theirs?
(Respectfully)
There is a difference between ‘Smart’ and ‘intelligent.’ I regard that most are educated (smart) in particular fields and subjects; but for some reason or another INTJ’s have a natural propensity to be smart in the subject of “thinking.”
Or if I may, “thinking about thinking” = Intelligence.
Hopefully nobody was too offended (but if it does at least it will make a good post)
The way I talk can be intimidating to people... My ENFP S.O. is quite intelligent, himself, but he's told me that the way I talk makes him feel like he's out of my intellectual league, when I don't think that he is.
I feel like anyone with strong Ni can figure things out in an intelligent, thoughtful way outside of the scope of what can be measured with I.Q. tests.
