I think only teachers can do this without getting bored :D Are there any teachers around here? Maybe there are teachers by profession around here (don't know, but it's possible), but some people are teachers by talent and feel called to teach others. ----- It may seem rude, but interrupters are seen as more intelligent. ... by ignorant people. But things only a real smart person can do are: making difficult topics easy to understand (that's the proof that hardly any politicians and lawyers are real smart), talking as little as possible while saying as much as possible + hitting the target listening carefully and remembering what was said to be helpful.

How to appear more intelligent than you are. Speak quickly Speaking fast is a true indicator of intelligence but it can also be a sign that you have been at the cooking sherry too long. Use a large vocabulary Having a lot of words at your command is a remarkable sign of intelligence. Dullards are unlikely to bother faking it because it's such hard work. Be clear Clarity is another pretty obvious indicator of mental capacity. It's tough one to fake, though. Wear spectacles It's long been known that wearing glasses are believed to shown superior brain capacity. It doesn't, but most people think it does. Talk loudly This is believed, falsely of course, to be a sign of intellectual strength. It is, in fact, just a sign that you talk loudly.
