  • Here's a paradox:

    Intelligent people understand that there's a vast amount of stuff they don't know, that they will always get things wrong and screw up, that they can never be truly objective about themselves and that no test will ever be able to accurately measure and rank all the dimensions of human intelligence.

    Stupid people often demonstrate the Dunning–Kruger effect, and drastically overestimate their ability and level of knowledge. Since their level of self-awareness is low, they lack the ability to objectively evaluate their competence or incompetence, and since it's human nature to want to think positively about ourselves, they believe they're much smarter and far more knowledgeable than they are.

    • No, you are talking about mindset. Intelligent people know there is more to know but some of perfectionist and some are arrogant. Stupid people overestimate because they are too dumb to practice self awareness.
