I wonder what the difference is, on average, between self-perceived IQ and actual IQ on this forum.
Huge. Everyone thinks they are 'smart.' Statistically, very few are.
And smarter people are more self-critical and aware that there are even smarter people out there, so have an ironic tendency to downplay themselves while the midwits are puffing themselves up.
Good point, and there's a reason the "midwit" meme is so popular right now!
