Psychologists have repeatedly explored the phenomenon of why smart, seemingly women, are sometimes perceived by society in a completely different way. This is not due to real mental abilities, but to the wrong line of behavior.

Instruction manual
one
Take the lead in the conversation. This means that you yourself must ask topics that you understand. Paradoxically, according to the experiments of psychologists, in conversations, for example, between men and women, it is men who speak more, they conduct a conversation. Because of this, in most cases, the interlocutors did not highly assess the mental abilities of the fair sex. However, the opposite is also possible.
2
Do not argue on topics in which you do not understand anything, immediately translate the conversation into a channel convenient for you. Again, it is proved by experiment - if you maintain a conversation on a topic in which you understand better than the interlocutor, you will look smarter than him.
3
Work on eloquence. The correct beautiful speech always makes an impression. Learn to develop your thought, express it to the end.
4
Do not be afraid to manipulate the interlocutor. An excellent technique in disputes, borrowed from Greek rhetoric, is to bring the opponent’s statement to the point of absurdity, and then refute it. That is, repeat the thought of your interlocutor in your own words, changing it so that it sounds nonsense, and then give your argument, which sounds logical.
5
From the first seconds of a conversation, behave kindly, without arrogance. If you demonstrate your superiority, your opponent may want to “topple you from the podium”. In other words, to humiliate, and for many, the most common way to show the enemy his place is to make a person a fool.
6
Demonstrate the breadth of views, tolerance, the ability to simultaneously recognize the right of existence of several points of view. This is especially useful with colleagues at work.
7
If the situation is hopeless and you need to show a deep understanding in topics where you do not understand at all, just listen very carefully to the interlocutor. Show your facial expressions that you catch every word of it and agree, not getting into the discussion.
