There are a lot of extremely intelligent people out there, but they simply don’t advertise the fact that they are smart. You can call it modesty or plain old good manners, but these people tend to look and sound quite average, until they surprise you with a gem of wisdom.

Some scientists more comprehensive research to understand how some factors including appearance and behavior can influence a person’s intellectual abilities. And it turns out that your height, weight, finger length and even eye color can show the level of intelligence people. Therefore, we want to share with you 3 weird signs to tell if someone is smart.

Weird signs to tell if someone is smart:

1. Often feel anxiety and are inclined to panic
