Those who find themselves easily distracted at work may be intellectually superior to their colleagues, according to research.
研究发现，在工作中易被分散注意力的人可能比他们的同事智商更高。
Intelligent workers may have difficulty concentrating due to the vast number of clever ideas popping into their gifted brains.
Bostjan Ljubic, vice president of Steelcase, a workplace solutions company that analysed the findings of neuroscientists and cognitive researchers, said:“Employers are always on the lookout for the brightest people available, however the difficulty to withstand multiple tasks and distractions in the office affects smart people in the same way as everyone else, if not more.”
The smartest individuals may find it more difficult to decide which ideas to prioritise with distraction leading to, what psychiatrist Dr Ned Hallowell cites as, “a feeling of inadequacy and inability to deal with the workload as awhole,” the Telegraphreports.
He added, the smartest brains can ultimately fall short of their own expected potential, as well as failing to live up to their employer's hopes.
