Very intelligent people are often depicted as “owls”. Like, they work late and achieve amazing results. However, a new study from the University of Ottawa casts doubt on this idea.

“When you take into account key factors, including sleep time and age, the opposite is true: morning types tend to have superior verbal abilities,” the scientists said.

The research team determined the participants' chronotypes by tracking their biological rhythms and daily preferences. A person's chronotype is related to when during the day he prefers to perform difficult or important tasks.

It turned out that “larks” have a higher verbal intelligence, that is, the ability to analyze the received information, systematize it and reproduce it in the form speech (verbal) signals.
