off the top of my head:
manic - rapid speech (and elevated mood. sometimes rapid movements).
depression - not wanting to get out of bed (excessive sleeping)

Pressured speech , Rapid nonsensical speech sometimes

Anger and rage

Total inability to sit still or sleep.

Depression ... I tend to feel more emotionless disconnected, self loathing more than hopelessness

Manic: I talk a lot and push those close to me to get things done
Depressed: I rarely cry, but I do if I’m really depressed

Good topic!

Delusions of grandeur, loosely associated speech, traveling abroad obsessions: Antarctica, cannible Island, Ralph the world's largest bunny in the UK, bunny island, anyplace that means travel to weird places or dangerous places.

Depression: wedge in a corner, rock, and sob for hours with my bunny Sophie.

Manic symptoms...Euphoria, then even more extreme euphoria. Incredibly creative. Art, music. That's all the world is...beautiful!Melts into irritability. My thinking is very fast and sharp and it's difficult for me to cope with people who seem to be thinking slowly. Anger, rage. Getting the idea that I don't need to sleep because I enjoy the overnight hours.

Depression...Delusional worry, mostly about my cats and my son. Terrible sadness.

I'm told I tend more toward mania. But the mixed states are very common. So, euphoria/severe waaay extreme anxiety/sometimes agitation/feeling like I'm dying anyway, so maybe just take control and do that myself/excited.

Anyway, I'm still not even convinced I have BD. Or maybe I have it, but I also have major dissociation problems.

Hypo/mania - euphoria, rapid thoughts and speech, grandiose, irritable, impulsive, reduced or no sleep.

Depression - exhaustion, lack of motivation, suicidal ideation, inability to feel positive emotions no matter what I do, pessimistic.

Mixed - HELL; extremely suicidal, overwhelmingly agitated, racing thoughs and speech, little sleep.

Psychosis - when manic my grandiosity goes into overdrive, I AM god, feelings of ecstasy. When mixed my delusions are paranoid, people are out to harm me and my solution to this problem is always darkly grandiose.

Hypomania: Rapid speech, insomnia. Sometimes, irritability. Only recently, ordering far to many items (which is something I have never done for my entire life until now). Sensory hypersensitivities . IQ increases.

Depression: Listless, hypersomnia, paralyzed, IQ drops. Hopeless. Very serious depressions.

It is fascinating that you mentioned IQ. Yours is an excellent way to describe the "brightness" of mania and the "dull" of depression.
