In Hmolpedia list that includes Top 500 Geniuses, Taurus gave the most geniuses that were on that list. Also, Ranker site mentioned more than three hundred names who are consider The Greatest Minds Of All Time, and Taurus people are at the top of this topic. Among the most influential philosophers and inventors, this is the most frequent sign that appears. After Aries, this is the second sign under which chess grandmasters were born. Subjects that collected the most influential people who ever lived (like encyclopedia Britannica ), also show us Taurus people as the highest rated among noted names, etc.

The majority of chess masters are sag buddy. There was a big thread made on that a while ago.
click to expand

There is a page on Wikipedia called - "List of chess grandmasters". It includes all names with this chess title given, but it is every now and then updated cause of new names who appear eventually. At a time this task was taken, last year, it processed more than one thousand and five hundred chess grandmasters, and dates of births were also compared to those which chessgames.com site show us as well (just to be sure). Definite result led us to next order:
1. Aries - 167; 2. Taurus - 164; 3. Aquarius - 163; 4. Gemini - 148; 5. Pisces - 141; 6. Cancer - 136; 7. Leo - 133; 8. Sags - 127; 9. Capricorn - 124; 10. Scorpio - 122; 11. Libra - 117; 12. Virgo - 111

So, buddy, i dont know what you were talking about, or which list you were analyzing, but this is the list which contains all those people who needed to be observed for this reason, and on which this 'study' rely -

They definitely come across as dumb sometimes, but its not really the case. I know a lot of them. They are single-minded though. Find their interest or passion, and pick their brain on that....As a more concrete example, my brother is into ancient history. Lets say he is studying ancient Rome. He will pour over books on archaeology of the time period, all the ancient Roman religions, the Roman economy, education and legal system, the lives of the Caesars. He will have books that are just bibliographies of other books he needs on the subject. A more normal person might just read a book like "History of Ancient Rome". He will read the most boring shyt that only someone who is getting paid to teach on the subject would ever touch. At the end of the day, he is the last guy you ever want to get into an argument with regarding ancient history. Before he even starts discussing the information, he'll ask you a series of questions that just embarrasses you so badly regarding that fact that you aren't even qualified to have the discussion because you aren't familiar with the primary sources...

Then he will grab a drink out of the fridge while he's still arguing, start shaking it up, not realizing that he just unscrewed the cap 3 seconds ago, and wind up splashing it all over his face and shirt, lose his temper and throw it across the room
But don't you just fucking LOVE people like that? I do.

I don't think all of them are dumb, but in my opinion, the majority are pretty dumb.

Lol and don't act like you guys didn't have atleast one or two Taurses in your class who were dumb as rocks, couldn't grasp the concept of anything being taught and struggled to spell Grade 3 vocabulary words. Because I'm sure we all did. I still remember their names.

I have an older Taurus brother and he's like 25 and he's constantly asking me how to spell really simple words. I have a Taurus cousin who was 3 years old when her family relocated to North America and she still speaks with an accent. LOL.

They're smart with things that interest them though. Like money management. But most Tauruses are like old dogs. You can't teach an old dog new tricks. In a Tauruses case, you can't teach them anything they're not already familiar with. It's hard to describe but... Like you can't get a Taurus to understand how you feel if it's a foreign emotion to them. They only understand and connect to people who are emotionally like them. They are very simple people.
i had a gem cousin who spent 10 years in high school lol! i thought he was a taurus coz he was a big guy and lazy but it turns out he was a gem lmfao! it's probably his spoiled upbringing though.

It's funny. Every time one of these Taurus are dumb threads pop up, a bunch of replies follow claiming they are anything but. Then I think back to Taurus' I have known throughout my life and quickly remember the number of times I would tell myself, "God, she/he is so freakin dumb."

However, I don't think bulls are unintelligent. I think the demeanor of a textbook Taurus has them appear that way. They can be very silly, bubbly, aloof, laugh a lot, don't take things too seriously, and come off happy the majority of the time even in the middle of a freakin crisis. These kind of things can give off the impression that said person isn't too bright.

Just roll with it bulls. 😉

Taurus:

-Remain stubborn instead of open-minded about subjects they have absolutely no knowledge of. This makes them dumb

-Things/experiences that can not be perceived by the five senses simply do not exist for them. This makes them dumb

-Unless they are (heavily) Gemini-influenced, usually do not have the mental agility, wit or versatility to debate any subject, even the ones they are familiar with. This makes them dumb.

-Will judge you and sometimes even stop any contact with you altogether if you refuse to agree with one of their dogma's. This makes them dumb

@Boomshaka,

I am a Taurus.
How presumptious of you to imply that consistency and inflexibility alludes to an individual's lack of intelligence.
Bulls are Builders, our research is internal, we trust our own facts, therefore only trust our own judgement.
We create the change we want through consistency, dedication, and hard work....no distractions.
We're the building blocks of the zodiac.
We're the best investors in this economy.

Our views are not a compilation of everyone else's opinions, (ie, Virgo men).
My man who is also a Virgo will take everyone else's opinions as his own universal truth, thus, incapable of forming an autonomous opinion of his own.
He's not very ambitious either, love him to death, but the truth is the truth.
Too mutable, too easily distracted.
I own my opinions.

Just because someone is engaging you in a topic that they may know a 'tidbit' about, it doesn't indicate that they're extremely knowledgable in that area.
"Talkers' are the biggest deceivers.
I am not easily fooled. I know the difference. Therefore, I don't entertain them. Just play 'dumb' so they can shut the f*** up.

...And if you're really observant, you will see that their actions never reflect their statements. Just 'Talk."

As well as an Accountant, I am also a Social Activist. Am I running my mouth telling the world how smart I am? No. I'm out there making it happen!
Anyone can read a few sentences on a subject, and claim to be an intellectual expert,
But not everyone can sacrifice themselves, their passions to set a consistent objective in order to make it happen.
...But a Taurus can!
Most of us are either philanthropists or social activists.

...And to every one calling Bulls stupid, has it ever occurred to you that maybe we're just not that impressed with you.
That maybe...just maybe we might think you're full of Caca!

Read the Taurus threads about the disappearing acts and the hot & cold behavior.
You will see that we're not impressed with a lot of people.
Overconfident /Underqualified people.
