Unbelievable facts
Experts say that people with high intelligence have bad habits.
Waking up late, cursing and being a slob are characteristics that do not characterize you positively and make you lazy in the eyes of others.
However, there is reason to be happy:
Research has shown that all of these bad habits are actually related to people with high intelligence:
Traits of smart people
1. Waking up late
Psychology Today has published a study that talks about the daily activities of some animals. This activity, called the circadian rhythm, tells them when they should fall asleep or wake up.
On the other hand, according to scientists, people are also endowed with this rhythm. This means that they have the opportunity to choose whether to follow this rhythm or not, to get up early or late.

This choice between getting up early and late makes it possible to classify people into morning larks and late owls.
The observation of a group of young people showed that the subjects who went to bed early and woke up late were people with less intelligence.
By contrast, those who were more intelligent woke up late. And because of their activity, these people also stayed up late.
To support this theory, think of such iconic and intelligent people as Charles Darwin, Winston Churchill, Elvis Presley. All these great people had a habit of staying up late, and they could safely be counted among the so-called owls.
2. Swear
This is a stereotypical moment when public opinion says that if you swear, you're not smart enough.
It has long been believed that if a person uses bad words, it means that they have a lack of vocabulary in their vocabulary. In fact, accusing someone of being stupid because they swear has no scientific basis.
One study in New York shows that people with the highest IQ score swear much more than those who don't swear at all. In addition, in refuting popular belief, these people, on the contrary, have a much larger vocabulary.
The study also states the following: people who avoid swearing actually avoid expressing their true self, unlike those who swear and are able to express negative emotions. Such people are always more open and honest.
In short, the ability to swear has nothing to do with intelligence; first of all, it is a way to free ourselves from stress and negative emotions that accumulate within us.

3. A room in a mess
The University of Minnesota has a psychologist who demonstrates a very subtle link between being highly intelligent and having a cluttered room.
People who don't have enough time to clean their room are actually determined to do something much more important than waste their time on less important things.
In addition, a messy environment creates better conditions for highly intelligent and creative people to take action and get new ideas throughout the day.
So, if your desktop is in a mess, books are lying on the floor or on the windowsill, and not on the shelves as they should be, you may be becoming a real genius, and your thinking processes are proceeding in the right direction.
According to Kathleen Voghs, a messy environment actually says people avoid traditional thinking.
Suffice it to recall shots from famous films about great geniuses, whose room was in complete chaos.
