Are You a Genius? Eleven Sure Signs of Extra Special Intelligence
- You invented a new salsa flavor and you don’t even know that much about cooking.
- You were able to fix the toilet after the thingie dropped off the spout in the other thingie in the tank.
- You fixed your computer problem by rebooting, but then the problem came back, so instead of wasting any more time on the piece of junk you bought a new one.
- You did not follow the Google Maps directions to the restaurant because you figured out a quicker way to beat traffic. Even though you can’t be sure because you didn’t time it, you’re pretty sure it saved you some time. But maybe not. Maybe you would have been fine just following the directions.
- You started reading a book a while ago (less than ten years ago) and you started thinking it was a pretty good book and you even began wondering about what it would be like to write a book yourself and then you fell asleep but you do remember the beginning of that book being pretty good.
- You don’t like either party (birthday or Superbowl) (see what we did there?) (If you’re a genius you probably do). No, but seriously, you don’t even like third parties (Halloween, Green).
- You don’t watch any professional sports because…they’re extremely dumb.
- You don’t dance. Because that’s also quite stupid.
- You like a classical music composer nobody has ever heard of, a jazz musician that very few people know, and an obscure indie pop band from Eureka, California.
- You understand relativity, quantum mechanics, and a lot of other things about physics, even though you’re not that good at explaining them because they are really hard to explain.
- When you are at a museum looking at a painting on a wall you sometimes nod your head up and down meaningfully.
These are the eleven signs of genius. If you have all eleven please contact me and we will settle this with an arm wrestling match.
