Lazy People Are Actually The Most Intelligent

Intelligent people live a more sedentary lifestyle, as they tend to spend more time lost in their own thoughts.

Researchers found that those who fill their day with physical activity are often ‘non-thinkers,’ who use movement to stimulate their minds and escape their own thoughts.

The researchers pulled from previous works to explain that physical activity levels are associated with physical behavior. For example, a past study found that “non-thinkers” became bored much easier.

Another study found that those with high need for thinking didn’t need much physical activity, because they were able to provide their own mental stimulation.
