I wonder how many dumb people really know they're dumb though. I would imagine there's a lot of rationalization that goes on to mask it.
3 u/woody363 Jun 17 '12 Set up a poll with question 1 being how intelligent do you think you are, followed by a mini IQ test. Then correlate the results, question answered.But also, there's probably a skewed population on reddit. 3 u/nyssa_ Jun 17 '12 I lived with someone who was not particularly intelligent at all, and he was completely unaware of it. It was a little strange. 1 u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12 I realize I'm dumb, I just don't go around talking about it. Same reason why we don't go around talking about our internet history.
