i knew a guy who thought he was smart even tho he finished in the 67th percentile nationally and failed on every standardized test

He seemed like one of those guys who had learning disabilities growing up but then “grew out of it”. You know those people with severe adhd or developmental delays when young who have potential but it really isnt that big. Ive always hated these dunces so much. Theyre never smart ever. Theyre also delusional af.

 

[Fancy Alcoholic]

Their delusion comes from foids educators who go with all their bullshit in some sort of Münchhausen by proxy syndrome instead of trying to make something useful of their so called abilities. In the end, this dude had a happy childhood, though his life will be a waste.

I mean, yeah, it's certainly not unusual for normies to believe they're more intelligent or skilled than they actually are.

Sounds like a textbook case of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
