1. Their mind is in full swing –  their train of thought sometimes slows down but never stops.

2. They hear but don’t listen – they might hear you out for a minute or two but after that, their attention goes somewhere else because their brain is constantly working. They may still hear you but their attention clearly took off.

3. They can’t concentrate when feeling emotional – if they are concerned about something, anxious or worried, they will find it very difficult to focus on anything else but the problem in hand.

4. They find it hard to carry out tasks – it’s not that they don’t set off full-hearted when giving a task, they just lose themselves in the immense woods of thoughts.

5. They have great intuition – having a constant whirlwind in their mind pays off, after all, they don’t fall for the superficial, they see beyond the frail exterior. This trait is responsible for so many creative minds, artists, writers or inventors.
