15 Reasons Why Intelligent People Live In Dirty, Disgusting Houses

Do you know someone who is super smart, but when you look at their living spaces, you’re in shock and wonder how the heck someone can live like that? There are theories behind why some intelligent people can’t be bothered to tidy up their surroundings. Here are the top 15.

Busy with Projects

Highly intelligent people often are busy with other projects. This causes their homes to become more messy and cluttered due to not having time to focus on cleaning. One person even said when they put things away while working on a project, they forget where they put it and get annoyed. 

Bigger Picture

People who are of high intelligence often see the world for the bigger picture. They do not always look at the smaller details like a messy house. They are too concerned with how to solve, finish, or work on a problem than whether socks or dishes are put away. 

“Normal”

Very high intelligence is often viewed as “not normal,” so many intelligent people say they don’t feel the need to fit into the “normal” box when it comes to cleaning their homes. They do not let the title of “normal” control them.

Appearances

Appearances are something many people try to keep up with. They often want their house to look clean, neat, and really unlived. Highly intelligent people often do not feel the need for or care about appearances.

Boring

Many people are going to agree with this whether you are of high intelligence or normal intelligence. Cleaning is downright boring, and many people do not like doing it. One person even said that cleaning can bore highly intelligent people to tears. 

Unorganized 

Some highly intelligent people do not like to be called dirty or unclean. They would rather people use the term unorganized. Their house may have papers all around or newspapers piling up, but that’s because they haven’t organized it yet. 

Repetitive 

Cleaning is a very repetitive task, and you often find yourself doing the same thing over and over again in different rooms and dusting, vacuuming, and making a bed. It all can seem like your life is on repeat. One person shared that Repetitive work is not testing enough for the curious and forever-seeking mind.

Lazy

Everyone can be a little lazy sometimes, and that’s the same with highly intelligent people. They enjoy some lazy days as well and would rather not waste a weekend or day off cleaning when they can take a mental mind break and relax. 

Reading

Sometimes they are just too busy reading. Reading books, news articles, scientific journals, whatever they feel is important. They do not have the time to clean or tidy up the messes around them. They’d rather enjoy reading. 

Too Easy

Although this may be a little bit of a reach, cleaning is often too easy for them. The brain can not calculate where to start when it comes to tasks like cleaning the dishes, making the bed, vacuuming, etc.

Don’t Care

It may not be that people with high intelligence can’t keep a clean house. It may just be because they don’t care too. Many people care about their home’s cleanliness, but highly intelligent people may not. 

Know Where Everything Is

Even if there are papers on the table, floor, counters, etc., these people still know where everything is. It may look like they are disorganized, but that is far from the truth. Highly intelligent people mostly know where everything is inside their untidy homes. 

Busy Thinking

So much is going on in highly intelligent minds that cleaning, organizing, etc., just don’t have a place. They are just too busy thinking of solutions, thinking of information, and so on to worry about cleaning.

Housekeepers

Highly intelligent people are often making the big bucks, so they do not often clean for themselves. One person even said that their house is often messy because they do not clean in between the time their housekeeper comes every other week. 

TOTALLY WRONG

Finally, some highly intelligent people completely disagree with this statement and believe that they actually keep their homes very clean and like it when things are nice and tidy. They enjoy finding things easily and do not feel as though their intelligence has anything to do with their cleanliness.
