Brainy Dose Presents 15 Ways To Appear Smarter Than You Really Are More often than not,
2
how smart people think you are is more important than how smart you actually are.
3
This is especially true for those working in highly social fields, such as sales, where success is based on your ability to engage and connect with others.
4
If you have an important meeting or interview coming up, or simply want to impress others and get them to think that you're smarter than you really are,
5
then the following tips on our list will definitely help you.
6
Number 1.
7
Speak Properly.
8
Refrain from saying um and ah and eliminate like and you know from your speech patterns.
9
Get from point A to point B quickly in your sentences without using too many filler words.
10
Number 2. Be still!
11
Practice waiting, listening, and thinking before you speak or act.
12
This sort of control will boost your emotional IQ
13
and also make your brain IQ seem a little higher to an outside eye.
14
Number 3 – Make eye contact.
15
You already know that you're supposed to do this anyway.
16
It's good manners, right?
17
But it also makes you look smarter.
18
Just don't overdo it or people will think you're creepy.
19
Number 4 – Tack on a couple of initials Using your middle initial can make others see you as smarter.
20
This might be because people believe middle initials to be associated with higher social status, which makes them expect greater intellectual performance.
21
Number 5 – Dress for Success This one should be no surprise.
22
Extensive research shows that how you dress affects how people perceive you.
23
Dressing well makes you seem more intelligent, while showing skin makes you seem less intelligent, as it directs people's attention to your body rather than to your brilliant mind.
24
Number 6 – Wear Eyeglasses This is a no-brainer and probably the easiest trick of them all.
25
shows that people wearing glasses, especially thick, full-framed ones, are perceived as being more intelligent.
26
So if you want to seem smarter, leave your contacts at home.
27
And if you don't need vision correction, just slap on a pair of fake spectacles.
28
Number 7 – Put On A Genuine Smile
29
People who smile genuinely are perceived as more intelligent and more attractive than those who fake it.
30
It might be because real smiles exude authenticity, which people usually consider an important factor when judging your intelligence.
31
Number 8 – Act Interested People who appear engaged in conversation,
32
make solid eye contact and maintain an upright posture are rated as more intelligent.
33
So resist the urge to zone out when someone's rambling on and on to you.
34
Number 9 – Speak Expressively It's not always what you say, but how you say it that leaves the biggest impression.
35
If you want to come across as more intelligent in your next meeting, speak louder, faster and add in more vocal variation.
36
Number 10.
37
Carry Reading Material You can carry around a copy of the Harvard Business Review, the Wall Street Journal or a couple of books.
38
By doing this, you will influence how others perceive you
39
and make people associate you with sources of information that they think are intelligent.
40
Number 11.
41
Use a Thesaurus Nothing shouts being smart more than having an extensive vocabulary.
42
So use a thesaurus to spice up your words.
43
Just type any average word into an online thesaurus and let the internet do the thinking for you.
44
Number 12 – Believe in Yourself Nothing projects intelligence, quite like confidence.
45
When you believe in yourself, it shows.
46
Believing in yourself improves your performance on cognitive tasks.
47
Leftout, on the other hand, impairs your performance.
48
Number 13 – Stay On Top Of Current Events
49
Read the news every day so you know what's going on in the world.
50
If someone tries to make small talk by referencing the current political developments, or the latest Grammy Award winners, you won't be falling short.
51
Number 14 – Know When To Stop Talking People who talk too much often wind up revealing how dumb they really are.
52
So pay attention to what's coming out of your mouth and watch people's faces to gauge their reactions.
53
When in doubt, stop talking and instead ask a question to give someone else a chance to speak.
54
Number 15 – Skip the Booze According to studies, merely seeing someone holding a drink is enough to make them seem less intelligent.
55
It's not that we assume less intelligent people are more likely to drink.
56
It's that the perceived correlation between drinking and cognitive impairment is so strong that we assume impairment even if there isn't any.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
