Its even worse, because many people dont even know what they mean by "smart", yet assume everyone has the same definition of the word.
HuskyBug
I consider myself relatively smart, which seems less impressive to me every day.
HUGHgReaction
Let me give you some advice, “don’t take advice from me”
nevergoingtogiveyouupnevergoingtoletyoudown
The smarter you are the more you realize just how little you know.
Useyourhead165
I know a little bit about a whole lot lol

Quick hack: dont
ChernoGamma
Yes, but as we see here you have enough self-awareness to have doubt about your superiority. So you may be stupid, but you are not a fool.
GoSens
Smart people are smart enough to know they don't know very much.

"Am I even good enough for Imposter Syndrome?"
Dummydaddy
Thank Grod Im smart enough to realize I'm an fucking mroron. The irony.
CrazyGingerAle
oh I know I'm not smart but I do have common sense
kwyjiboner
Only a fool believes himself wise and only the wise man can see how much a fool he really is... to paraphrase Socrates
SnepInTime
If you think you are smart then just find something that you don't know anything about and take a few classes for fun. \1
SnepInTime
There are a ton of free lectures on YouTube.
butcherfan0301
Ask yourself this: are you smart enough to recognize where there are gaps in your knowledge and do you recognize there are experts who have
butcherfan0301
Knowledge that fills said gaps? If you answered yes than you are smarter than the average idiot. To get even further ahead you should listen
butcherfan0301
To the experts who dedicate their careers to filling knowledge gaps. Even if what they say may contradict what your limited knowledge
dwolvin
Keep learning new stuff (today I found out / it's ok to be smart /etc on YouTube)
Silverboon
some of the nicest guys i know are very decent educated and average and some very smart guys i know are real dicks. i prefer nice folks.
TotallyNotASnail
The more you know the more you know you don't know
beAbetterperson7
Count the number of stupid people around you. Half, less than half? If its less than half, it doesnt bode well for you. Sweet spot is around
beAbetterperson7
60-70%. More than that and its likely over confidence or birds of a feather flock together.

We're all nerds.

#1 if your smart enough to realize you might to stupid you probably aren't the kind of stupid you're worried about
Chainhealer
You're* too* (although it's hard to tell since your sentence is a fucking trainwreck).
WinkingStarfishSlapper
But what if I'm some other kind of stupid I'm not realizing? There are so many ways to be stupid.
ArtsyFartsyParrotMama
You made me smile

The key is knowing what you don’t know. And not pretending to know it all.
Justanotherginger
Smart is good. Wise is better. Knowing how much you don’t know is wisdom.
minipancho94
I consider myself smart, not because I know a lot, but because I know how to adequately teach myself given the resources to do so. Can I 1/2

Rebuild your cars engine? He'll no. Give me the right books and a month or two and I'll be able to though. 2/2

Dunning-Kruger effect is real

It also happens to everyone, whether they are stupid or clever.

SirRichardOfHead
And the more dunning you are the more krugerer it gets!
GnomeDeGuerre
I often wonder if D-K references are made by people suffering from or with the stupidity.
FailedCrate
As a friends stated, "great, a study about dumb people how dumb they are, to make other dumb people feel smart when they know about Dunning-
FailedCrate
-Kruger effect." Different but fitting perspective too, got me thinking. Proof? Just look at certain topics on Imgur.
ImplodingPumpkin
I'm pretty sure it's Freddy Krueger effect.
rjohannsen
Actually...it's dundler Mifflin....smh
STaSHZILLA
Actually, it's the doogie howser effect.
fafnir77
I am just smart enough to know how stupid I am, it's a curse!
Vandalcraft
Sounds like a blessing tbh!
fafnir77
Well if I was more dumberer it would be more better because I would think I'm smart
LastoftheLillyCreatures
It's worse: It is real and most people that have heard about it believe in an absurdly exaggerated and simplified version while being 1/2
LastoftheLillyCreatures
totally convinced that they're the smart ones, while even the dichotomic distinction between smart and not smart is comically oversimplified
infey
It's literally not real. Google it. Also, the Stanford prison experiment had a ton of issues and results of Milgram are likely exaggerated.
TheEmeraldProphylactic
DK apparently did have some methodological issues. Also, for sure: “the replication crisis” exists. But we all see aspects of DK daily 1/
Bhargo
it literally is real, as an example, the entire "I did my research" group, all profoundly idiotic, all think they are super intelligent.

Found the effect for real here in you, lol

andydicktracymorganfairchild
The ultimate dunning kruger effect test is whether you think you know what it means. I don't, so I'm safe.
TraceyGainey
Stay open minded, willing to accept you make mistakes and are not perfect. A great way to stay clear of the dunning kruger affect
DrDantheMedicalman
Having studied educational theory, i understand it and i hate when people shout from the peak of mount stupid
andydicktracymorganfairchild
Well I mean otherwise no one would hear them, it's a mountain. Think.
hoopsnek
I think I do know what it means, so you see my problem here.
DeamgonDork
Well I know if you have an erection that last for more than 4 hours you are suppose to go to a doctor
LimpMufasaWasABetterFather
Introspection is a sign you might be ok
Dragongirl7256
The big test is wether or not you will change your opinion if presented with information that disproves something you believed and you go, 1
Dragongirl7256
And take the time to look at what they said, and if it is true change your mind. That's the difference between smart and dumb. 2/2
HisBabes
I’ve seen armchair quarterbacks argue with lawyers about how court works & doctors about what treatments they should use on patients. ?♀️
hoopsnek
I think that's more about ego than intelligence. Smart people are great at justifying their stupid ideas and actions.
andydicktracymorganfairchild
It's better to avoid thinking
hoopsnek
Yeah. I should probably think less and do more.
BetterKnownAsJasonDarket
No no no, it's do less and do more.

Sink deep into to the present moment and the task at hand and you’ll start stop the cycle of habitual overthinking.

But that is at least one thing you know, but if you know that, then you can't know nothing, but then you'd be wrong, so you do know nothing.

davegur
You at least are at a level where you can be aware that you may be stupid, so you have that going for you.
Justtakealookatthis
In general, if you're aware that you are not the towering pillar of absolute intellect regadless of the time,place,or topic, then you're ok.
Saghan
Yep. Much like questioning if you're insane, questioning whether you're stupid is a moderately good sign you're not. Not yet.
ThomasThundersword
what if you know you are insane, but not insane enough to need help. where does that put you sanity wise. serious question.
Saghan
I mean... *technically* being insane means you couldn't possibly know. ESPECIALLY in regards to the legal system in most of the U.S.
Saghan
However, please don't take what I say as absolute.
ThomasThundersword
gotcha, so as long as i have enough self awareness to differ between what i consider moral, and what the law says is legal, and follow the>

I think I'm fair to average, with a keen spike in useless information that isn't valuable.

Hey, Compadre!
PathologicalLier
according to my psych analysis i am mostly average intelligent. which is fine by me
SenfinaZeit
I'm above average, but seeing how average is such a low fucking bar that doesn't mean much.
CosplayComet
Big time oof....
TheresnoDanaonlyZuul
Are you me? Are we each other?
CosplayComet
Well, I've never seen us in the same room, sooooooo....

Which means you're probably above average intelligence w/ impostor syndrome

Somehow, I don't think my extensive knowledge of late 80s to early 90s anime is going to save the world.
CaptainHowdyonmeds
It's the butterfly effect. Your in a gas station and it comes up in conv. The anime story about overcoming obstacles kept the person from

Suicide. They find the cure for something chronic.
