Scientists have examined the relationship between intelligence level and patience in detail correlation between them investigated.

How are the results? what do you think?

Scientists conducted an experiment to solve this question mark.

1000 participants received 100 euros and asked what they would do with the money. In fact, they can pocket this 100 euros or earn interest for a year. They could deposit it in a bank. For example, 100 euros could increase to 105, 120 or 150 euros.

With this experiment, scientists wanted to determine whether the candidates were willing to take risks. In addition, participants Two different intelligence tests was implemented. The result was quite surprising.

Smarter people put aside the $100 they get so they don’t spend it, or He favored the idea of ​​charging interest. Most less intelligent people wanted to spend this money.

So is there really a direct relationship between cognitive skills and certain personality traits? Or is this relationship more complex than expected?

Moreover, according to the researchers, you might think that less intelligent people earn less money or tend to spend 100 euros in a few days instead of accruing interest due to financial worries. However, making such a generalization not entirely correct.

In fact, the link between patience and cognitive skills has been proven to hold even when income is taken into account. So the smarter the participants, They were so patient and tolerant of risk.
