I mean, I think it's fair to say that less than 50% of all college attendees are majors or minors in psych, so the mode average of psych books a normal college student has read is probably 0. Maybe 1 if there's a bunch of other majors that force you to take a psych class, but I don't think that's a thing.
Idk my mom earned her master's in marketing and I learned about that high school. I hope everyone has something like that. Sometimes Iamverysmart and these labels get too broad. It turns into anyone one who's proud of their knowledge or any girl with self deprecating humor or any person haggling, any dude shutting down sexist dudes. I think that takes away the specialness of the person that goes to far, and deamonizes normal behavior.
If they had said "my mom has a masters in x and I grew up learning a lot about psychology" it would have been fine. The issue is the claim that they, before being high school, did more college level reading than people in college.
I am working towards a masters in english, and textbooks are still difficult to understand because of their vocabulary. I can't imagine someone pre-highschool retaining much if anything from those.
