Every zodiac sign is unique, with its own strengths and not-so-strong points. There can be no question of any sign being smarter than any other sign or any sign less intelligent than any other. However, the natives of some signs could have a better understanding of the environment around them, be more adaptable to changing scenarios, and make more creative, sensible decisions.
Here, let us briefly see how each of the 12 signs fares on such a scale.
Aquarius
Aquarius can be ranked relatively high on the scale of intelligence. And there are reasons for it. The Aquarians are thinkers who can contemplate with a cool head and an open mind. They could possess a fertile imagination but may not limit themselves only to ‘dreaming’ but could proceed further towards innovation. They will likely have a scientific temper, analyze things threadbare, step back and try to view an issue or problem from all sides, carefully weigh the different, even contradicting thoughts, dispassionately, consider evidence relevant to the issue on hand, and then only arrive at a conclusion or zero in on a solution.
So, it is no surprise that the Aquarius occupies a pride of place when intellect comes into question.
Capricorn
Capricorn is a thinking sign whose natives are capable of reflecting deeply and logically. These natives may also listen attentively, observe carefully, and learn whatever interests them, thoroughly putting their cognitive capabilities to good use. They might usually be talented and hardworking personalities who exhibit a thorough professionalism that drives their high ambition.
They could be responsible, loyal, dedicated, well-organized, and ready to explore all avenues to expand their horizons and work relentlessly to reach their goals. Even when they commit a mistake, they may take it only as a learning experience and proceed without any dent in their confidence and with renewed drive.
However, one may not easily realize their depth, range, and potential because they might generally be introverts!
Virgo
Virgo is a zodiac sign known for its sharp focus and analytical skills. The Virgo natives might also possess good memory, knowledge, and diplomatic skills. They might combine sound logic and powerful intuition in themselves and handle things tactfully. They might also be inquisitive, which can provide them the drive to find answers to their questions and solutions to problems. Thus, they could possess incredible problem-solving abilities.
They might also be good at verbal communication, which can allow them to effectively put across their points, convince or influence those who matter, achieve things, and make progress.
Scorpio
Scorpio can be termed a tough zodiac sign. These natives could be strong individuals who are committed, passionate, and materialistic. They might be go-getters who get what they want at any cost. Leadership, too, could come to them naturally.
These people might also possess a powerful perception, be aggressive, and may get the better of their competitors or adversaries. They might also be secretive, suspicious, jealous, and vindictive, and anyone could find it a challenge to get away after rubbing them on the wrong side.
Gemini
The Gemini natives can think fast and communicate fluently. They might be able to absorb information quickly and process it expeditiously. They might be sharp, intelligent, imaginative, and have a keen sense of humor. They can bowl people over with their wit and wisdom; their powerful speaking abilities and humor can overshadow their shortcomings like impulsiveness and vacillation and make them a center of attraction in any group.
Leo
One can well call Leo a royal sign. The Leo natives can be majestic, noble, respectable, broad-minded, and generous. These people may generally exude passion and confidence and also come across as authoritative. Royalty and leadership are 2 sides of the same coin, so the Leos, too, no doubt, love to be the leaders.
However, these people may also have a large ego, so they might love to be always in the spotlight and get all the attention. They may also be particular that others should think highly of them. So, they may bother a lot about others’ opinions of them and end up doing things just to look good in others’ eyes. That can hamper their objective thinking.
Libra
Libra is a gentle sign. It is celebrated for its strong sense of justice and fair play. Librans may no doubt be intelligent, but they could be more particular about being just and reasonable. They may hate violence and quarrel and love finding peaceful solutions through negotiations. They generally don’t take sides or move to extremes on any issue; instead, they try to remain neutral and strike a balance.
But all these traits could prevent them from taking a firm stand, one way or the other, making them indecisive. They might also be impractical and idealistic and get easily influenced by people or events. All these could make decision-making quite painful for Librans.
Aries
Aries is a fast and energetic sign. These people can be independent by nature, original, courageous, confident, and optimistic. They will likely be ready to take risks, accept challenges, and make a fight of it.
But these people can also be short-tempered and aggressive. Their impulsiveness can drive them to misjudge people and situations and act without considering all available facts. Thus, they may end up mishandling situations or hurting others unintentionally.
Taurus
Taurus is a solid sign, slow and steady. The Taurus natives will likely be loyal and reliable, whom one can depend on. However, they may not be very flexible and resist changes. They might also be overthinkers who may overreact and take setbacks and rejections to heart, which may affect their work and hinder progress. These people may not be progressive in their thinking and practical in their approach.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius is a noble sign whose natives will likely be kind-hearted, knowledgeable, and philosophical. They might also be freedom-loving and adventurous and love traveling. However, one may find that Sagittarians are generally easygoing, tactless, and even careless. Thus, they may often come across as non-serious. They may also not be willing to accept new information, thus denying themselves fresh ideas and viewpoints.
All these could raise a question mark on their capabilities.
Pisces
Pisces can be rated high for their emotional intelligence and creativity. Pisces natives may generally be soft, gentle, smooth and flexible, who are philosophical and forgiving. Though imaginative, these people could be oversensitive and nurture too many ideas. And their lack of drive, which could border on laziness, can discourage them from making any ideas a reality!
Cancer
Cancer is a kind and loving sign. These people may display strong motherly instincts. But they could also be hypersensitive and highly emotional. They may think through their hearts, allow emotions to judge men and matters, and decide and act impulsively. Thus, the Cancer natives may not be very logical and might let their emotions determine their lives.
