When you were little, your parents probably asked you to tidy up your room, to make your bed, to control what you say, to be polite, and to go to bed earlier. You’ve heard from an early age that clutter and abusive words are bad and that you should learn to avoid them. But several scientific studies conducted over the last year reveal that these lessons we have been hearing since we were little are actually wrong. Science has finally given us something we can slap in the face to our parents, and that should not be bad grades.
Research in several countries has found that people who swear, who want to stay awake at night, who have messy rooms and work masks, are actually more intelligent than other people. Well, if you’ve ever used swear words in front of your parents, it’s not because you’re a teenage rebel. Research has shown that people who swear have a larger and wider vocabulary, unlike people who do not swear and are usually more confident. If you think that cluttered rooms are a sign of disorganized and unproductive life, it is good to know that they are a great indicator of a high IQ. Research has shown that people who normally work in messy rooms have more creative and interesting ideas than other workers who have organized bureaus and a greater desire to deviate from unconventional norms.
Why do people swear?
Of course swearing sometimes crosses boundaries and in certain situations depending on your professional and private life. You can be punished for using swear words and abusive words. However, people have the right to free expression and swear for various reasons. Some people swear out of habit, some to express a feeling, some to provoke a reaction, or simply because you like that way of communication. Whatever the reason, scientists and psychologists have long sought to find out what is common in people who swear a lot. Recent research reveals that people who swear a lot are honest. These people do not tell lies in everyday communication unlike people who do not. In fact, research suggests that people whose speech is “enriched” by swearing are more moral and honest. Psychologists have also found that people who swear often find it much easier to get along with others. Therefore, if you and your friends swear from morning till night and you feel good about it, swearing may help you to get closer.
This habit does not seem to be as bad as it seems, but it does not mean that you should swear in every possible situation. Of course you should avoid this way of speaking when its use is inappropriate and could lead to trouble.
So the next time someone scolds you for swearing so much, feel free to explain how things are. Also, if someone tells you to clean your messy room, your messy desk, etc. politely explain to them that the bag of chips on your desk is a need for better functioning of your brain creativity. People who want to stay up late are usually more resilient and able to get prestigious jobs, higher salaries and higher jobs.
