If you are one of those who gets easily annoyed or distracted by sounds like loud breathing, chips crunching, pens clicking, or floors creaking, as an example, there is a chance that you might be smart. Though this reaction is similar to people who have misophonia, which is a disorder where certain sounds “drive them crazy.” Their reaction may even be perceived by others as unreasonable or overreacting, but to those affected by this, it can be a fight or flight situation. Smarter people tend to struggle in filtering out unnecessary noises as it impedes their thought process and focus. This is why creative geniuses like Charles Darwin and Johan Wolfgang von Goethe, to name a few, were said to have worn earplugs while working to block out sounds.
