I don't think smarter necessarily. More patient, likely. Agree about the comment on vocabularies - perhaps better at writing and linguistics than the average person. But I don't think I'm smarter lol ...

I don't know about this - I'd assume ppl who stutter have a range of intelligences like any other population. No impairment is magically going to make anyone more intelligent across the board than any...

No correlation, at the scale of all people who stutter vs all people who don't. But people believe in stereotypes and so make assumptions one way or the other. Hollywood actually seems to like to show...

I'm a walking thesaurus. I have used my ability to think deeply about ideas and words to leverage myself into a well paying job as a communicator and writer. I'd say I'm rarely the smartest person in ...

I consider myself a fairly intelligent person, but when it is time to articulate that intelligence, only about 10-20% of it comes out and the rest just sits deep inside not being able to come out or c...

What's interesting, I have a feeling that a person whom stutters but is still extroverted is actually deemed way more confident than a normal person. Normal people would probably think, if they stutt...

"Smart" isn't really a good word to describe different intelligences. Some people thrive in topics and fields where others simply can't. Some people understand things far quicker than others and don't...

I think we spend more time in our own heads, which makes us more reflective. We also have better vocabularies due to word avoidance. Perhaps not “smarter” but we have traits that would present as such...

Is it true that people that stutter are generally smarter than the average population? I definitely have ADHD and think way more and deeply about things than most people I encounter. My thoughts are so much faster than my ability to speak them. I wonder if this is common.
