Women who have a messy bag are often very intelligent

messy bag

I am a genius. Well, it must be, if you saw my bag. The contents of my bag, that is, because the outside looks neat and tidy, but inside there are a thousand loose things that I don't need at all on the day I carry it with me.

A laptop: good, I need that. Then tampons and pads, half a Labello, makeup, coins, a pacifier from my children, socks from my baby, paracetamol, earbuds, a charger, lip gloss, earrings, gum, a little card from something, a piece of paper from something, another charger; it doesn't stop. There is so much junk in my bag that you would almost be ashamed of it. But I am definitely not ashamed of it, because smart women have a messy bag. Some studies say that creative people are sometimes prone to messiness because they care less about conventional order and structure and focus more on generating new ideas and expression. Creativity and intelligence often go hand in hand, and you can see that reflected in such a bag. A complete chaos, but you don't care. You are too smart to worry about that because you have other things on your mind.

Intelligence: what determines if someone is smart? Your genes, of course, but there is more to it: the environment in which someone grows up, including the quality of education, the socio-economic status of the family, cultural influences, and exposure to stimulating activities can all contribute to the development of intelligence. And you are not concerned with trivial matters, that's for sure.

So it's a matter of having different priorities, but yes, smart women are busy and important and engaged. They don't care about stray pieces of paper somewhere at the bottom of her Vuitton. So: those who clean up may be very neat and doing well, but yes, you don't have to be intelligent for that.
