I understand you may not believe me, but for the sake of discussion, please assume I am telling the truth

I know a lot of people who are very talented in learning and who had great grades at school much higher then I did have but they still don't seem to understand what's really going on in our society. They simply aren't smart enough to stop listening to mainstream media and they also don't understand that a lot of things that they learned in school simply wasn't the truth. I find those people very stupid because they should be smarter then me but they aren't

Sometimes it doesn’t always refer to book smarts. Maybe you lack logic or common sense. Maybe someone called you stupid because they’re jealous of the scores you achieved on the WAIS. I know a lot of women who are smart but do stupid shit, act stupid.

Obviously, I did not share them with anybody; I just did this out of curiosity. It came out to be 115+, so I found it funny that I'm often called stupid. I believe they were just trying to manipulate me or plant self-doubt. Obviously one could tell I am at least not stupid, because I am a grade skipper among other things.

That may be true. It may just be an insult to your intelligence. Maybe they felt stupid so to make their self feel better they tried to bring you down. Things like this you have to ignore. I know it’s hard at times especially for women because women tend to feel emotions more. But most of the time someone like that, like a bully, usually has to do w them internally rather then the person they’re trying to belittle. Nothing has meaning unless you give it meaning.

I just did this, so next time I can shove it in their face. Lol!

Shove what in their face?

Book smart is not street smart. Being a good test-taker doesn’t mean you’re good at everything else

[Asker]

WAIS tests a bunch of stuff and the matrices you often see on the Internet are actually only ONE of it

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Again, being a good test-taker does not necessarily mean you know how to connect with others in a meaningful way, it also doesn’t mean that you’re good under pressure at non-test related things, or that you’re not clumsy. The term “stupid” can apply to a lot more than just this one, singular perceived instance of intellect as there is no one accurate way to measure intellect

[shortster]

Most people don't know how to argue their point and so if they disagree with you they will often go to an ad hominem attack and the intelligence of others is the favored target.

[Asker]

Thats true

You can have vast amounts of knowledge and still be stupid. Stupid people lack common sense and the understanding of social norms.

[David318578]

You could have book smarts but have no common sense or street smarts

[DrPepper12]

Test smart & no common sense?

Book smart & not Street smart?

[Fftggg]

I mean we all have some stupidity in us on times, aight? Come on.

[slatyb]
