74 Times People And Pets Showed Intelligence That Was Impressive And Low‑Key Terrifying

Conspiracy theorists that end up being 100% right. Or people who have an insanely high amount of cognitive empathy but lack affective empathy.

I had a friend who could manipulate anyone, I’d see him get what he wanted everytime without fail, whether that be financial, societal or sexual needs, I drew the line where it got so bad where he manipulated someone into doing something for me that I didn’t ask for and I felt genuinely horrific. He never asked a thing from me at any point, so I had nothing to give him, I wonder to this day what he got from our friendship I am not aware of, it’s like he saw me as a genuine friend, like we’d do friend things but then he’d show me someone he’s messaging and their chat history and it’d genuinely disturb me.

I’ve seen deer ‘crouch run’ as to not be seen by hunters. I’ve also seen a deer back track its own blood trail and jump several feet off of said track to try and lose hunters. Our prize is them, their prize is their life.

My professor from uni would walk into the room of noisy students quietly and everyone would be alerted by his presence. And with just one stare alone without saying anything, everyone quiets down to listen to his lecture.

Back in the days when we used to flip through tv channels I could give you the name of any tv show or movie that appeared on the screen in less than a second. I didn’t think it was a big deal until someone was so amazed by it.

I still remember the names of people i’ve met 1 time, 10 years ago.

I forgot my debit card one day and didn’t realize it until I was getting ready to pay. I asked if I could just give him my debit card number and he said yeah. I told him all the digits, expiration date and the three digit code on the back. When it went through he was shooketh. He said he never seen anything like that in his life I just laughed and saw yeah I can do stuff sometimes and walked out with my coffee.

My Dad was born mute. They thought he couldn’t speak so they just let him go on as a mute, he never spoke. At age 4 he asked for some more broccoli. His parents were shocked, asked if he could speak, he said yes, they asked why he didn’t talk for 4yrs, he said he had nothing to say. He ended up getting 2 PhD’s, was a professor, found out after he [passed] that he worked for the CIA.

My teacher held a conference with my parent in 9th because all I would do in class was sleep but end up getting 90-100 on test.

My cat used to leave me “presents” every single holiday & on my birthdays. Without fail he’d do it, no idea how.

I can basically be shown how to do something once, or read instructions once and then do it. EVERY craft ive ever picked up, i mastered. Knitting, crochet, paint, peyote stitches. Mechanic, diesel mechanics, motorcycles, smaller engines like 2 stroke etc. I can do electrical, plumbing, carpentry. I get so bored so quick i find new things to learn.

Being an empath is a kind of intelligence itself. Imagine having the ability to feel what they do, to notice even the subtlest nuances, and from that you could try a lot of experiments which will lead to different outcomes.

I dunno I have always been able to write forwards and backwards, and upside down forwards and backwards….people told me that’s “unnatural” lol. Okay

There was a man who lived in my old apartment complex I was seeing. After a few months of seeing him the management pulled me aside and asked who he was because he would wait in common areas til he saw me. They said he didn’t live there. He told me he was a doctor. He gave me a fake name. When I had a friend that works in tech look into his website showing he’s a doctor and the services he does it showed the website was made the day we met. When I confronted him the website was taken down and he disappeared. I took karate classes later on and I caught him watching me during class. He was wearing a really good cover up too. He then left when he saw I noticed. It’s scary but he’s honestly the smartest person I’ve met.
