If somebody knows that they're stupid,are they really all that stupid?

"A fool doth think himself a wise man, a wise man thinks himself a fool" and that's my two cents

We're all stupid; just to different degrees.

People are not stupid. The end.

Everybody has knowledge, just in different things. One person might be good at one thing and not good at another. It doesn't make them stupid. And what really defines a person as being smart?

Sure, there's a lot of things that you should probably know in order to get by in life. Common sense is a good example. Having the proper social skills to function in life, knowing how to take care of yourself, knowing simple math to pay your bills, and buy the things you need in life, understanding your language, reading/writing, your culture, etc. But I think when it all comes down to it, you better know right from wrong.

That doesn't mean that its not good to know a little of everything, or that the other things don't matter. But some things you're really not obligated to know unless you're doing something with it for your future.

People sometimes are quick to call someone stupid, but honestly, they might know a lot more than what the person calling them stupid might think.

I know that I'm stupid and my friends ho decide that... Every day... Every minute... And they text me it....

Some people act stupid because they think it's cute. like no bitch, 1 it's NOT cute, and 2, embrace your intelligence.

All people are meals to deamons.

If they are stupid and they know it and they are not ashamed of it then they know they are too stupid to better themselves and i know im around people like that eveyday....such a waste of humanity.....what i hate most is when those idiots try to take positions of authority......try being told by a boss what to do whos a freaking moron and see how you feel...i dare you....

Maybe..if you're a POLACK!

I'll have to say yes, since they are still stupid, not ignorant.
A tricky question thought, like asking if a person who never lied says he's a liar and because of that says a lie itself and other stuff like that.

Socrates was wise, for he claimed to know nothing at all.

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled people make poor decisions and reach erroneous conclusions, but their incompetence denies them the metacognitive ability to recognize their mistakes.[1] The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their ability as above average, much higher than it actually is, while the highly skilled underrate their own abilities, suffering from illusory inferiority. I think that explains it.

i'm stupid and I really know it.

I suppose that if a person knows they are stupid, they probably won't do or say as many stupid things compared to a stupid person who believes they are smart. That's what I would assume anyways. This is a very interesting question because intelligence is a very hard thing to legitimately measure since the human mind is so complex, that and everyone is different, savants for instance seem nearly autistic because they lack the mental capacity to understand anything else but one particular subject.

I don't really mind how intelligent or not people are as long as they don't think they know everything or a lot about things they don't and they understand the difference between opinion and fact.

I'd have to know how/why they came to the conclusion that they are stupid.

Counter proposal:

Is a person that doesn't realize he/she is stupid more stupid than a person who realizes that he/she is stupid?

That's a very postmodern thing to say; not much else I can say here.

Hmm...thats a good one not sure really. I guess I could say yes and no in some cases maybe. All I know for sure is that its really annoying when someone is pretending to be dumb/stupid to gain attention from others when they're quite smart.

It's like crazy people, if someone can sit and ask themselves if they're crazy, they are sane. An insane persons never thinks anything is wrong with them.
