Why should humor be regarded as the characteristic of high-potential people?

Why do you regard humor as a characteristic of high-potential people? Some people always regard humor as a person's character. In fact, humorous people have a particularly high IQ. He can break the embarrassing dilemma on different occasions and make people feel relieved instantly. Let's see why humor is regarded as a characteristic of high-potential people.

Why should humor be regarded as the characteristic of high-potential people? 1 foreign scholars have proved that there are differences between boring people and people with a sense of humor in the following aspects, and these differences are the psychological adjustment function and function of a sense of humor:

First, IQ.

Humor is the display of taste and quality, and also the embodiment of intelligence and wisdom. Smart people are not necessarily humorous, but humorous people must be smart. After many tests, foreign psychologists have confirmed that a person's sense of humor is directly proportional to IQ. People with a high sense of humor tend to get high IQ test scores, while those without a sense of humor get average test scores, and some even obviously lack adaptability.

Second, learning ability.

Humor must be based on mature experience and rich knowledge. Only when a person has extensive knowledge can he be rich in conversation and interested in Miao Yan. Therefore, a humorous person must be a person who loves learning and has a particularly strong learning ability.

Third, optimism.

People with a sense of humor are optimistic and have a good attitude. No matter what kind of difficulties they encounter, they can deal with them optimistically and calmly, and use humor to eliminate the tension and anxiety caused by work, so as to overcome them more easily.

Fourth, confidence.

People with a sense of humor are more confident. The reason why many people feel inferior is that they feel inferior to others, so they will try their best to raise themselves. People with a sense of humor are very aware of their own advantages and disadvantages, and even laugh at their own shortcomings.

Verb (short for verb) is generous.

Humor should be calm, generous, equal, detached from the secular, skilled and thorough. A narrow-minded and negative-minded person will not have a sense of humor. Humor belongs to people who are broad-minded and passionate about life.

Sixth, interpersonal relationships.

People with a sense of humor are very popular in daily life. He can quickly shorten the distance of interpersonal communication and win the goodwill and trust of the other party. People who lack a sense of humor will affect communication to a certain extent, and will also greatly reduce their image in the eyes of others.

Seven. perform

People with a sense of humor not only have high IQ, but also high EQ, so they are more likely to succeed. According to statistics, people who have made achievements in their work are not all the most diligent people, but people who are good at understanding others and have a sense of humor.

The differences in the above aspects have been verified many times in my past talent evaluation projects. I found that people with a sense of humor scored higher than others in systematic thinking, learning ability, self-confidence and openness in other evaluation activities (such as psychological tests and evaluation centers) and performed relatively well.

Therefore, people with a sense of humor belong to high-potential talents. And this is also a relatively easy thing to judge. In the recruitment interview process, you can feel whether the other person has a sense of humor as long as you talk to him for a while. In normal times, if you have too much time and opportunities to observe your subordinates and colleagues, it will be easier to find out whether they have a sense of humor.

Of course, it should be noted that there is a difference between humor and funny. A truly humorous person doesn't laugh all the time. He is more serious than anyone when he is serious, and he will never take a thing as a joke. When dealing with unimportant things, they can ignore them. However, when it comes to the interests of themselves and others, they will never make jokes casually. For example, if you see a physically disabled person, you won't make fun of him even if you are humorous. And those who like to play funny pranks may say some sarcastic words and think they are humorous. This is not humor, this is a personal attack, and this is a sign of disrespect for others. Therefore, the biggest difference between humor and humor is that humor will choose the most appropriate presentation mode to make people laugh according to different environments, while humor will make people talk nonsense regardless of the occasion.

Why do you regard humor as a characteristic of high-potential people? Humor is a foreign word, transliterated from English humor, which was first introduced to China in 1924 by Mr. Lin Yutang, a master of Chinese studies. He thinks that humor is a calm and distant bystander, often with Xiao Yu's tears and laughter. Zhou said that humor is that ordinary people temporarily have God's eyes, which has the function of liberating the mind, making people see the relativity of everything in the world, thus showing the absurdity of all persistent attitudes. Humor is a kind of relaxed and profound. In the face of serious shallowness, it showed a cynical smile. Humor requires keeping a distance from life, temporarily discovering and teasing the defects in life with the eyes of outsiders, and temporarily getting rid of such defects by mocking the defects in life.

Russian writer Chekhov said: People who don't know humor have no hope, which shows the importance of humor. So, what is the function of humor? A writer's sense of humor will make his works interesting; The speaker has a good sense of humor and will make the audience laugh. Entrepreneurs have a sense of humor, which will make subordinates feel kind; Educators with a sense of humor will enlighten students' minds more effectively; Couples in marriage are full of sense of humor, which will make ordinary life happy and warm. There are many humorous examples in reality, especially anecdotes of celebrities, which are basically related to humor.

To sum up, the role of humor mainly has the following three points:

Humor often brings joy to people, helps to eliminate hostility, ease friction, prevent contradictions from escalating, and increase the intimacy between people, thus promoting teamwork and improving interpersonal relationships. Therefore, there is no war with laughter.

Humor can also stimulate morale and improve production efficiency. According to a survey conducted by a company in Colorado, USA, within 9 months, the output of middle managers who participated in humor training increased by 15%, while sick leave was reduced by half.

Second, humor can dilute people's negative emotions and eliminate depression and pain.

Dealing with troubles and contradictions with humor will make people feel harmonious, happy and friendly. People like to get along with humorous people. They know how to turn an optimistic and positive attitude into their own weapon, and then use it to influence people around them, so that the sad face on our faces is swept away. As long as we are with them, we will always be unconsciously infected by their positive energy, temporarily put aside our troubles and put laughter back on our faces.

Third, humor makes people healthier physically and mentally. Lenin said: Humor is a beautiful and healthy quality. Norwegian scholars' research shows that people with a sense of humor live longer than those who lack fun in life, and the death rate of cancer patients with a strong sense of humor is 70% lower than those without a sense of humor. Therefore, we might as well let humor act as a masseur after intense work to make our life more sunny and interesting.
