Top 12 common traits in highly intelligent people (+Pics)

6. They Have An Open Mind

Open-mindedness is one of the most obvious traits of a highly intelligent person. An open-minded individual is one who is willing to try out new things and to listen to new ideas regardless of what he or she has grown up knowing. Open-minded people give deep thought into what people of contrary opinion and belief have to say, and if they find the contrary opinion to be right, they can easily cross over.

Open-minded people have the ability to learn much more than a closed-minded person, which is the reason why an open-minded person will more often than not have a higher intelligence compared to people who cannot open themselves up to new ideas and ways of thinking.
