A study was conducted in Turkey, the details of which were published in the research journal Humor. According to the report, only the clown children in the classroom are actually more intelligent than the adults and thus there is a deep connection between intelligence and sense of humor in children.

In this regard, each of the 200 children was given ten cards in which cartoons were drawn. All children were asked to write a funny sentence or title while looking at it. After that, seven different experts categorized these sentences and gave first, second, third and other ranks to the written subject.
After that, standard IQ tests of all the children were also taken. When the intelligence and sense of humor in the children was examined, it was found that the children who had high sense of humor also had high level of intelligence. A clear link between intelligence and sense of humor was found in 68% of the children. Humor was especially prevalent among children who were well versed in general knowledge and verbal reasoning.
