Having a messy bedroom and an addiction to Netflix aren't usually deemed as positive traits, but they could actually indicate that you're more intelligent than others.

Indeed, according to psychological research, there's certain home habits that imply you're one step ahead.

From how you organise your home to what time you go to bed, My Domaine has rounded up the signs your intelligence is higher than everyone else's.

Psychologist Kathleen Vohs says: 'Disorderly environments seem to inspire breaking free of tradition, which can produce fresh insights'

You have a messy living and working space

Your parents may have scorned you for leaving your clothes all over the floor but according to experts, it could be a sign of next level intelligence.

As psychologist Kathleen Vohs explains: 'Disorderly environments seem to inspire breaking free of tradition, which can produce fresh insights.'

You don't have specific storage spots for your possessions

Keys buried under a stack of letters in your hallway? No idea where your passport is?

This could be a sign of hyper-intelligence as, according to experts, chaotic living spaces actually help highlight priorities. 

Losing your passport beneath a pile of clothes indicates you need to do your washing, whilst keys buried beneath post is a sign you need to open your bills. 

Do you have a messy bedroom and always snooze your alarm? They could be signs that you're more intelligent, according to psychologists 

You're addicted to Netflix

If you spend hours awake watching back-to-back episodes of your favourite TV shows until the sun comes up, it could be a sign of intelligence.

Playing video games 

Struggling to spring out of bed in the morning may be seen as negative but according to research, by hitting snooze, we are actually listening to our body's needs.

By doing so, experts claim snoozers are more intuitive, creative and clever.

Playing video games

Next time your partner criticises you for spending too long on Candy Crush, you may want to show them this study.

According to PsychCentral, people who are addicted to video games have better cognitive skills, social memory, power of reasoning and problem-solving.

'This has critical implications for education and career development, as previous research has established the power of spatial skills for achievement in science, technology, engineering and mathematics,' said Isabela Granic.
