Maybe the most judgmental people? 😅

Listening, thinking, and observing are definitely skills that help people assess people and situations, but not participating in the conversations means that they are largely making those assessments absent the extreme benefits of two-way communication.

So I'm totally down for careful listening, careful observation, and deep contemplation, yet being quiet seems like a hindrance to someone who wants to maximally learn about others (including their potential weaknesses).

To me it's like being a passive Poker player who only calls or fold, never bets or raises. Even if they're extremely observant and contemplative, they don't tend to excel as much as more aggressive players who come out firing and raising and can bluff people out of the pot with worse hands and extract maximum value with better ones.

If I use a school analogy, the most quiet students might be really smart and knowledgeable if they spend a boatload of time studying on their own, but they derive minimum value in the classroom since they don't engage with their students and teachers. So they learn the minimum from other people and less than they could if they weren't so quiet and interacted with others.

Well sir you know your poker.

Ya it’s usually true. I’ve seen a lot of prison documentaries and the guys in solitary confinement who have killed the most people or run the biggest organized crime syndicates are never the biggest or loudest guys. They’re usually quiet, very intelligent, not super big or muscley but still strong as a bull.

I find that quiet people usually have secret talents you do not know about. I know somebody who is very shy and they showed me their artwork one day and I was amazed at how creative and precise their creation was. I know another guy that was excellent at social persuasion and he was a very shy guy who rarely talked. And I learned my very quiet friend had high 90s in pre med. If somebody is constantly showing off their credentials, it usually means they have nothing worth hiding.

I am a quiet person and I am not the most dangerous. It's people who are not in control of their own emotions and act on impulse who are the most dangerous. Those people can be quiet, those people can be loud.

Combination of Quite AND Patient people are the most dangerous people. Always remember it is the small spiders you have to be careful of.

[NamerOfStars]

I'd argue that it's actually patient people who are the most dangerous- but they usually overlap, so...

I'll just leave this right here.

Not all quite people are dangerous but many dangerous people are generally quiet (not all).
