Is it normal people have this misconception that intelligent means responsible?
I not sure why this is but people believe book smart and responsibility go hand and hand. This is often the exact opposite and its surprising people do not get this yet. Car company's will charge less if your kid gets good grades.
Parents seem to have this assumption as well which I do not understand. Even if they have a child who is gifted but still an idiot they will still assume the child is responsible since they are gifted with intelligence.
Yet if they get average to poor grades they charge more for insurance. Since when does being able to read a book mean you can drive a car? That makes no sense at all. Driving is a skill. That dude playing soccer(Football) does not need to have a lot of brains to do it.
In fact some of the famous Athletes are the biggest idiots on the planet but they can pass a ball. So what put this idea in peoples heads when it has been proven wrong time and time again? You could be the biggest bookworm on the planet still be an idiot. I have known some of the smartest people as well they have a photographic memory and passed with perfect marks but they are not someone you really want to trust with a chore since they wont do it.
As well as that a maid will clean but we consider them smart. Yet trust them enough to clean your house but do we consider these type of people? These people we are considering worthless are probobly a lot responsible than that brainic who passed school without trying. Also oddly enough people who are smarter tend to be a lot lazier and people who are not as smart seem to try a lot harder. So why do people still assume this? I really do not understand where its coming from.
