4 Signs of Lower Cognitive Intelligence (Psychology Explained)

Have you ever tried to explain a simple, logical concept to someone, only to be met with blank stares or sudden anger? It’s frustrating, but psychology suggests there is a reason behind it. True intelligence isn’t just about degrees or how many books you’ve read—it’s about how your brain processes information when challenged.

In this video, we dive deep into the psychology of cognitive intelligence. We explore the subtle, everyday habits that reveal a lack of cognitive processing power and distinguish between high-functioning minds and those stuck in "low resolution" thinking. If you constantly question your own intelligence or overthink interactions, you might be surprised to learn what that actually says about your brain.

In this video, you will learn:

Why the inability to delay gratification is linked to lower cognitive ability.

How Black and White Thinking drains mental energy and avoids nuance.

The difference between an Internal vs. External Locus of Control.
