Are intelligent people usually impatient who get easily or quickly bored? Is it why so many bored people here?

Answer 1

I think that boredom comes from not having some purpose to your life. I think the more intelligent you are the more you will find ways to engage your mind. So, to answer your question I think it is a matter of the degree of intelligence one possesses.
If you are bored of the same repetitive problems / questions then you will seek out new ways to reach those problems.
I think your question is one of the more important ones we had regarding 'intelligence'. I abhor those who claim to be intelligent (or high IQ) and hide behind avatars to criticize and make negative remarks. I think they are cowardly individuals who have to do that in order to make themselves feel superior.
Regarding the second part of your question, I do not think there are many who are bored and at the same time 'intelligent'. If you are bored, then you are not intelligent enough. If you are intelligent enough then you will not be bored. For you will find creative ways to engage your mind in other ways. For the most of us we are neither bored nor intelligent enough. We like to think (I guess I speak for myself) we are intelligent but we get easily distracted and spend or waste time doing nothing productive. (Like playing games, watching TV etc).

I really appreciate your Q, it is provokes me into doing things that are more productive and creative. Thanks

Is anyone ever not bored? I mean, say you are intelligent and you get a great job like a doctor or a lawyer or whatever. That has got to get boring. Yes, you do have to apply your mind to it, but it's not always an "interesting puzzle." A lot of time it's ditch-digging with the mind. It's boring.

I don't think anyone escapes boredom. There are creative geniuses who can imagine unbelievable things, but then how many of them fall into drugs? Often because they need them for inspiration or just boredom with the banality of everyday life, when they can't see anything creative.

But it's not like it's just geniuses who get bored. The crew at Cap'n D's at lunch today certainly were stressed, but that job has got to get boring, too.

I don't think boredom and intelligence are corellated in any meaningful way. There are some advantages to being thick when it comes to entertaining yourself, but the same can be said of the intelligent. One might be bored by a museum. The other might find a pro wrestling event mind-numbing.

Answer 3

Well, I agree that given a problem a clever person will move through the interest of the problem to the post solution boredom at a faster clip, but.....

I must agree with the Archailect wannabe. Intellect is rarely bored for long because it's quite creative in finding new puzzles.

I suspect the intellectuals here are not especially bored, because the intelligent solution to such a condition would be to do something else.

Gotta go. hehehehehhe ;-)

Answer 4

I think boredom has more to do with laziness than intelligent people getting impatient or quickly bored. There's a whole world of interesting things to do and investigate, but the bored person is waiting for someone else to come along and hold their hand to find those things. Intelligent people can also be lazy and waste their brain power, just the same as people with average IQ's.

Answer 5

It has to do with television. Initially, is the length of shows. 30 minutes to 1 hour. The human mind can only follow itself to one factor for goodbye before the concentration starts to break. This is the reason teachers will tell you to not cram. Television capitalizes on this truth. As soon as your brain is beginning to wander, and also you bear in mind changing events, bam! A new show is on and your intellect is reactivated. Nonetheless, it is extra sinister than that even. Commericals are timed to occur at precisely the second when your mind first signals that it maybe losing interest. So, a commerical comes on, you do some thing else for two minutes, and you are correct again at it. In addition, tv has been training it is loyal topics for 70+ years now. We are conditioned now to these time frames. Like a soccer player conditions their our bodies to react to exact situations (they don't consider about it, they simply head the ball), so too are we conditioned to become bored in a brief period of time. Subsequently, we must consider televison's message. We've got watched generations of sitcoms where ordinary seeming humans reside at ease and fun life, surrounded by using household and neighbors, a job that satisfies them, a partner that's continuously focused on them, youngsters that in general obey them, and so forth. And many others. And we take from that a image of what lifestyles should be like. When our possess lives fail to reside up to that, as a substitute of recognizing that tv is fiction, we are likely to anticipate whatever is unsuitable with our lives, and we seem for whatever new to make matters right. What's the solution? Much less tv is a start. I do not need any tv channels correct now. Any show I quite wish to see i will get on dvd. It's been over a yr, and i will actually say i'm more content with my life. However, my awareness span is still restrained when doing tasks I dislike (work). Greater than that, i am rather not sure.

Answer 6

I don't think there is a correlations between the two. The reason being, intelligent people have inquisitive minds and taken pleasure in teaching and sharing.
There is no such thing, as a self-contained genius.
I believe that those who are bored aren't allowing the wheels to turn.

Answer 7

Intelligent minds like to keep things moving and ideas growing. Boredom is simply the state of observation , when what is being observed is expected to move the observer, What a study. like the cat moving the ball around and expecting the ball to jump back at the cat, but the cat never learned how to bounce a ball.

Answer 8

Sherlock Holmes used to fall into "fits of the blackest depression" when there was no criminal case or complex problem on which he could exercise his intelligence. Occasionally he would resort to cocaine use to stimulate him during these down times. I think Conan Doyle was describing a characteristic he found generally in people not only of high intelligence but also of a certain temperament where time alone with only themselves and their emotions is rather off-putting. So, to compare all (or many) of the Yahoo! Answers folks to Sherlock Holmes:
1) we live for the problems
2) we're as yet uncomfortable with ourselves, and
3) we resort to forms of mild substance addition (i.e. Yahoo! Answers)

Answer 9

There's no relationship between intelligent people to boredom and impatience.
Although it may seem intelligent people may need things to keep them distracted and they are very strict on punctuality. It's just stereotypical
