　　7. 聪明人乐于适应，思想开放。

　　As mentioned in the Encyclopedia Britannica “For the most part， adaptation involves making a change in oneself in order to cope more effectively with the environment， but it can also mean changing the environment or finding an entirely new one。” Intelligent people are thus， quick to adapt。

　　8. 聪明人还出了名的爱怀疑。

　　聪明人不但乐于适应，他们还有一个特征是抗拒一切。尽管这两点看似矛盾，聪明人却能二者兼备。他们只相信有大量事实佐证的事。

　　9. 聪明人有很强的好奇心，不惧发问。

　　This is to understand that not knowing something does not make one stupid。 Intelligent people see it as an opportunity to learn more about things that they may not be familiar with。

　　要知道，不懂某种知识，并不会让人愚蠢，聪明人将其看作一个学习不熟知事物的机会。
