According to astrologists, your zodiac sign can tell others how creative you are as well as how smart you are. Smart is often defined by intelligence, but it’s important to note that just because a zodiac sign is not the most analytical of the bunch it doesn’t make them unintelligent.
Where one sign might be book smart, another sign will have an unbelievably high amount of emotional intelligence. Where does your zodiac sign fall on the intelligent zodiac sign ranking list?
Zodiac Intelligence Ranking (Least to Most)
Least Intelligent to Most Intelligent Star Signs
1. Taurus
Taurus is not considered traditionally intelligent, but they do tend to be more practical than most other signs. The only zodiac sign that is more practical than Taurus is Virgo. This gives Taurus a lot of common sense and makes them good at finding solutions to problems. Taurus is also known for being emotionally intelligent, which can make them wonderful at working in a large group.
2. Aries
Aries is not known as the most intellectual of the zodiac signs, but they are known for not quitting. This mentality gives them the ability to learn a variety of things when they need to. However, this is often limited to a more lateral thinking style instead of a critical thinking style, which can inhibit them at times.
3. Leo
Leo is not one to sit around and read books for fun. However, they are capable of learning anything that will put them in the spotlight. This zodiac sign loves to be the center of attention and was born to lead others. Because of this, they have higher social intelligence than most other zodiac signs. Unfortunately, their arrogance often leads to them not having the intuition that other natural born leaders of the zodiac do.
4. Sagittarius
Those born under this sun sign love to learn new things. They often learn a variety of things on various topics, which always makes for interesting conversations. However, they do not dive deep into topics to learn everything possible, which can frustrate the more analytical zodiac signs. Sagittarius can also be rather arrogant when they do learn things and often use their aggressive nature to silence other people instead of learning more about topics.
5. Libra
Libra learns what they need to learn when they need to learn it. Because this sign is capable of learning almost anything rather quickly, and they often have the desire to learn new things or skills, they are considered one of the more intelligent signs of the zodiac. However, they are not the ones to show off, which leads to many people assuming that they are not intelligent.
6. Capricorn
The responsible, mature sign of the zodiac is known for being logical and taking the time to learn everything possible about a particular subject. Because they have an extreme work ethic and value close relationships, these topics often pertain to their career or loved ones. For example, Capricorn will learn everything about a person he is interested in romantically.
Because Capricorn does not apply this same effort to knowledge in general, and they do not love to learn new things, they are often viewed as being one of the least intelligent of the zodiac signs, even though they are not.
7. Pisces
Pisceans are known for having an innate intelligence. They learn things quickly and can be rather adaptable when placed in new situations. Not only are they intelligent, but they are also highly intuitive. This leads to them making exceptional decisions and being wonderful people to ask for advice.
8. Virgo
Virgo is one of the most intelligent signs of the zodiac due to its perfectionism. Simply skimming the surface of a topic is not good enough for them. Instead, they want to learn everything possible about it. When learning a new skill, Virgo insists on being the best of the best. They also love to learn, which makes them extremely intelligent. However, Virgo does lack the emotional intelligence that other signs have.
9. Cancer
Cancer is not the most intellectual sign in terms of being book smart, but that doesn’t mean that they are not intelligent. This zodiac sign tends to be very smart, and their emotional IQ far exceeds that of other zodiac signs. Their natural empathetic nature helps them read and know another person’s energy and feelings before a single word is spoken.
10. Scorpio
Scorpio tends to be naturally curious and skeptical. This makes them question everything that is presented to them. It also makes them want to learn everything possible about any topic that they find interesting. The end result is that they are a highly intellectual sign, and are ready to point it out when other people state incorrect information.
11. Gemini
Gemini is a quick thinker, and they are able to absorb an amazing amount of knowledge. This zodiac sign loves to learn, so they will know quite a bit about various topics. Their natural curiosity drives them from one topic to the next with ease.
They are natural learners for life, but that isn’t the only way that this sign is intelligent. He also has a high emotional IQ and wonderful social intelligence, making them one of the most intelligent signs of the zodiac.
12. Aquarius
Aquarius is known for being the innovator of the zodiac. They are naturally intelligent and find that they excel in a career that requires them to use a combination of their innovative tendencies with their intelligence. Expect this sign to dive deep into topics that they are interested in so that they can learn everything possible about them. This tends to make them both smart and a bit egotistical.
