Even if you don't have much intelligence, you can always seem smarter than you really are. It will make you more promising for employers, more interesting for friends, and more attractive for girls. Now the time has come for the smart, who are promoted at work, on whom the girls fall and with whom everyone wants to be friends.
“Passing for a knowledgeable person is not at all difficult. The point is that you are not caught in blatant ignorance. It is necessary to maneuver, avoid embarrassing situations, avoid obstacles and, with the help of an encyclopedic dictionary, put others in the galoshes. All people are round ignoramuses and stupid as logs. " Guy de Maupassant
Even if you don't shine with intelligence, there are always ways to appear smart. High intelligence increases a person's reputation and his value in the eyes of others: boss, colleagues, friends, acquaintances, girls. A smart person is always more attractive to a pretty sex. He is a welcome guest at friends' parties and at work. Improve your life with a couple of tricks.
How to seem smarter than you really are?
Look decent. A lurid shirt, funny shoes, multi-colored socks and strange facial hair? Such a person seems eccentric and narrow-minded. Try to look low-key and tidy. Give preference to classic clothing and looks.
Be silent more than speak. When a person talks a lot, then he has a great chance to blurt out what his low level of intelligence betrays. Try to be more silent, listen more and ask more leading questions to your interlocutors. Give people the opportunity to speak out only by supporting the conversation with leading questions. A man of few words who listens attentively seems to be a wise man and a good conversationalist. And talkative yap is perceived as a fool.
Avoid talking about what you don't know. The easiest way to get yourself screwed up is to say that you don't know well. Do not talk or give advice where you are not sure of yourself. Avoid difficult topics, predicaments, and dangerous questions.
Use smart words. Learn a couple of buzzwords, quotes, idioms and phrases in a foreign language. This will make you seem smarter than you really are. Memorize new words and quotes from time to time to seem very educated. Mention recently read books to sound well-read. You may not even read the entire book, but just start it.
Speak slowly and confidently. A calm speech delivered in a slow, clear, clear, even and firm voice makes the right impression. The narrator seems very confident, and most importantly, smart.
Smart people make eye contact. Try, when talking, to look into the eyes of the interlocutor more often. This will give him the impression that you understand everything and have a highly developed intellect.
Behave accordingly. Smart people never rush, fuss or worry. Their shoulders are squared, they do not slouch and behave calmly. Smart people are always in control and rarely lose their temper. Smart people hardly drink, so they are always adequate at corporate events and parties.
Even if you don't have much intelligence, you can always seem smarter than you really are. It will make you more promising, more interesting and more attractive.
