do you believe this about highly intelligent indivisuals?

Question

that they USUALLY have really messy handwriting and unorganized? because my dad is very very bright and intelligent but has horrible handwriting and very unorganized ... sometimes they are bad at spelling to but do you agree?

Answer 1

In my experience, truely intelligent people have so many thoughts running through their heads and very fast speeds, that when they write... they write quickly, trying not to miss anything. This results in sloppy, seemingly unorganized handwriting. And when thoughts are flowing that fast, who has time to worry about spelling? To the author, the whole thing usually makes perfectly good sence.

Answer 2

I'm not highly intelligent, but I am in the most advanced classes my high school has to offer. I get straight A's, too, so I guess I can answer this. My handwriting is abysmal, and my organization skills are nonexistent. I've got papers strewn everywhere in my locker, crumpled up at the bottom of my backpack, and I have one binder for the eight courses I am taking.

I know a lot of very smart people, and most of them are more organized than I, but I also know others who lack organization skills. It really depends on whom you're dealing with. I wouldn't say they're usually unorganized, but I do know of some individuals who are. At the same time, though, I know of people who are pretty much obsessive compulsive, and they're just as intelligent as the messy people.

Oh! I forgot spelling. Personally, I've always excelled at spelling and grammar (watch there be a spelling mistake in this post)...so really, I don't think most smart people would fit your specifications. Different people are good at different combinations of things.

Answer 3

IQ levels should have nothing much to do with such traits which are actually 'learn traits' and not inbuilt.'Lets look at it in another way.Say, highly intelligent people have messy hand writing and are unorganized.Do people with messy hand writing and who are unorganized,are highly intelligent?The answer can be anything but a firm 'Yes'.it may be that highly intelligent people have the tendency for a messy(hurried)handwriting and being unorganized(trying to do many things at the same time).

Answer 4

i think i'm pretty intelligenti get straight A's i agree with the messy handwriting part everyone tells me i write like a teacher i'm not unorganized and i'm not bad at spelling i've been in the bee 4 times coming out anywhere from 5th to 2nd

Answer 5

I totaly agree with this. Believe it or not i have a 164 IQ. and im horrible at spelling my hand writing sucks even for a girl. and i cant organize anything you should see my car or my room it is horrible. I only know i have a high iq because i had a lot of test when i was young because i taught myself how to read and it was this really big thing for some reason. yet i believe people with high iq arent as happy because we are always thinking and tryingot figure something out we just can stop thinking

Answer 6

I don't think that is an accurate generalization.

Most of the bright people I know have neat handwriting. It doesn't help to be bright if you can't read your own notes! My I.Q. is only 140--lowest of the low genius. I have neat handwriting, relatively impeccable spelling and grammar, but though I try to be organized, my obsessive compulsive attraction to far too many hobbies to fit in my house makes me quite messy.

I don't think the generalization is accurate, but maybe you should get some responses from super geniuses. :)

Answer 7

Shows how smart the two geniuses here with high IQs are.. A test can't measure your intelligence, imo. It's just a simple number that people cling onto and falsely convince themselves of.

Answer 8

ya who cares as long as you can read it.if
