Whether we are thinking of high performers in any field or straight-up geniuses, whom we consider to have the knowledge of the world, it's always fascinating to know how the best and the brightest minds think and act. And while there can never be an all-encompassing resources that perfectly captures the universal patterns of all intelligent people, it is quite easy to filter out common behaviours and thought patterns. And it's also a god idea. Why ? Because by knowing how the smartest people act, we can mould our behaviour to be more likely theirs - though not completely, at least take cues from that information - and can be more effective as a result.
An intelligent person isn't just someone with high IQ, but also someone who applies their knowledge in a smart way. How someone applies the intelligence given to them is a true sign of their overall intelligence, and the extremely intelligent know this, and seek tirelessly to align their actions with their thought and ideals.

Here are 9 things extremely intelligent people do :-
1. They stay rational.
Extremely intelligent people may or may not be spiritual, however, one thing is for certain: they attempt to live their life based on a sound rationale that marks everything they do. They don't believe something just because someone tells them to or because they read it online, nor do they believe in something because someone charismatic is screaming it from a podium - they think fir themselves and are very conscious of the power of influence. They are very aware of the fact that only words they hear from someone or the news they watch somewhere online doesn't define their opinion on the thing.
2. They are aware of balance and still make sacrifices.
They are keenly aware of the fact that we only have so many hours a day, days in a year and, years in our lifetime. They are aware that balance is important, however, they are also, self-aware of their own impermanence and finite resources, so they often intentionally break the sense of balance and make sacrifice for the sake of achieving their major goals.
3. They make friends with their faults.
Intelligent people are typically very self aware, so they have become conscious of their faults. And whilst it's very difficult not to kick themselves over the faults at first, over time, they learn how to navigate and come to terms with them. In this way, they become very comfortable in their own shoes.
4.They have opinions about everything.
While there is not always a useful quality, extremely intelligent people tend to have an opinion about anything and everything given that their mind is so active, working almost non-stop. This helps in some situations, but as suggested above, really doesn't in others. Overall, it's just a byproduct of an overactive mind. However, it is a hallmark of highly intelligent people.
5. They avoid impulsive decisions.
Going along with the same conscious theme, we touched on a few points ago, extremely intelligent people are very intentional with their thoughts and actions. This means that they do not jump at the first idea, impulse, influence or nudge. They absorb information and then consider it against everything they knew first, deciding then if they should be influenced by the information or not.
6. They do not consider themselves extremely intelligent.
Extremely intelligent people know that there is more they don't know than that which they do. Truly intelligent people are not conceited or overconfident. In fact they often fly the opposite direction and openly expresses themselves as more lost or less secure, not so much because they are more so than other people but because they are more keenly aware of it in themselves than the average person. However, this isn't all bad. This often leads extremely intelligent people to feel a sense of wonder about life that the average person never realizes, knowing that there is so much more for them to learn and discover.
7. They embrace their quirkiness.
Extremely intelligent people tend to be outsiders because they're not what most would call normal. In fact, simply displaying incredible intelligence often secludes a person from others because of the jealousy other people feel towards them. However much more than that, extremely intelligent people tend to be quirky and sometimes even more defiant. So, they are not just outcasted because of others, they are outcasts of their own choice as well.
8. They often follow their own path.
Along these same lines, extremely intelligent people tend to question conventional wisdom and follow their own path. Because they can see things differently, they tend to challenge traditional opinions. And as a result, they follow a path that is uniquely based on this knowledge.
9. They are aware of the ever-changing nature of life.
Extremely intelligent people tend to notice trends, the most important being the fact that everything dies or disappears eventually (i.e. impermanence). Because of this, they tend to be more reflective and act in a way that befits this knowledge. What differs, however, is in how someone takes this knowledge. That's because a deeper understanding of impermanence is necessary to see it as a beautiful truth, whereas a lack of thereof often makes us view it as a depressing fact.
