How do you identify a smart person in 3 minutes?
By their eyes and by language.
Intelligence involves acquiring information, processing it, and acting upon it. The smarter you are, the more you see, the faster you think, and the better you act.
Most people just respond to external stimuli without much mental processing. They are conditioned by social rules, guided by their emotions, and act by social standards. They just act according to what is expected and considered “normal”.
Smart people, on the other hand, can process new information fast enough and use their minds as buffers before acting. Instead of just acting or speaking, they use their minds to acquire information, process it, and decide on how to act.
So, instead of just responding, smart people think, then act.
When you look at smart people acting, if you look at their eyes, you can see they are processing the information. The smarter they are, the greater is the speed and complexity. If you can know what they are thinking, their mind probably moves slower than yours, and you are smarter. If you see someone giving extremely complex answers or actions with barely any mental processing, you can be sure they are extremely smart, and if they do so faster than you can analyse them, they are probably smarter than you.
So, look at their eyes. That will give hints on how much they are thinking. The time it takes them to act upon events will show you their mental acuity and processing speed.
Now, language. By studying people’s language you can analyse their mental acuity (how fast they gather information), their mental processing (how fast they analyse it) and how much of memory they recall while they think. If you have someone who gives extremely complex answers or actions with barely a moment’s notice, you can be sure this person can remember things and process them extremely fast.
