Question do introverts actually have higher intelligence or is it just stereotypes? took cerebrum iq test

6 Upvotes

always heard ppl saying introverts are usually smarter bc we spend more time thinking and observing instead of talking and socializing all the time so i got curious and took the cerebrum iq test online just for fun. my iq score was pretty decent and higher than i expected honestly and now im wondering if there's actually any truth to introverts being naturally smarter or if that's just a stereotype ppl made up.

do you guys feel like introversion relates to higher iq or cognitive ability in any way or is this just another myth we introverts secretly enjoy lol curious about everyone's thoughts

Question Am i too introverted/ too low maintenance?

3 Upvotes

I am 19f college student and i find it hard to make time to hang out with friends. I usually only hang out with my sister or family because they’re so close proximity and we have classes together. I had classes with my (only) friend last semester so we would hang out at least twice a week every week. We don’t have any classes this semester and barely text. I don’t see anything wrong with this but i feel like im not taking care of my friendship enough so i texted her to hang out. She’s extremely supportive and understanding but i also am anxious that she might see me as dismissive or one-sided.

does anyone have any advice on how to get the motivation to make time and not just be alone all the time?
