Ah, validation!

I talk to myself quite often when working on things like my cars, for example.  
It helps me to reinforce the steps in the process of what I’m doing, for 
example.

Higher intelligence, I don’t know, but I think I have a higher success rate or 
encounter fewer mistakes when I use this technique when I’m performing a 
complex task.

I was the 29th tested, didn't make the cut.

I'm only familiar with "Mad" part of the equation.

I also laugh at myself too.

We have so much fun.

Research:

Talking to Yourself Out Loud May Be a Sign of Higher Intelligence

While talking to yourself is often regarded a social no-no, possibly hinting at 
psychological problems, new research suggests that point of view may need 
revision. Scientists at Bangor University in the UK found talking to yourself 
out loud is not only be helpful but may indicate a higher level of intelligence.

The study’s participants were given written instructions and told to either 
read them out loud or silently. After measuring the concentration and how 
participants performed on tasks, researchers concluded that people were more 
concentrated and absorbed what they read better when doing so out loud.

As the study’s co-author and psychologist Dr. Paloma Mari-Beffa explains, the 
benefits may be coming “from simply hearing oneself, as auditory commands seem 
to be better controllers of behavior than written ones”.

Dr. Mari-Beffa sees speaking out loud as an extension of our inner silent talk, 
which has been shown to help us organize thoughts, emotions and memories, as 
well as plan actions.

She cites athletes, especially tennis players, who talk to themselves in 
stressful moments. They use spoken self-instructions to help focus their minds 
and motivate themselves to achieve specific goals.

The inventor Nikola Tesla was known to talk to himself during lighting storms.

The researcher adds that talking out loud could actually be “a sign of high 
cognitive functioning”.

“The stereotype of the mad scientist talking to themselves, lost in their 
own inner world, might reflect the reality of a genius who uses all the means 
at their disposal to increase their brain power,” points out Dr. Mari-Beffa.

The experiment in the study was performed on a relatively small sample of 28 
participants but previous studies also indicated that talking to oneself had 
cognitive benefits, like helping find objects quicker.

behaviour” here.
