“Non-obvious sign, I would have to say emotional intelligence. Most people picture a smart person being like the typical movies nerd that is really smart at everything except social interactions or flirting but that’s not the case. Really smart people can also pick up on social cues faster and better than regular people.” — atapes

“They have a good sense of humor. Being funny frequently requires thinking on your feet, making unusual associations, seeing things from different perspectives, nuanced understanding of language, decent understanding of culture and current events, as well as emotional intelligence in reading a group of people (i.e. jokes that are not mean spirited/rude). They don’t have to be comedians/performers. But I usually find humor and intelligence to go hand in hand.” — trump_politik
