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