The study found that people who exhibit confidence in their intellectual abilities often have higher IQs.
These individuals tend to agree with statements such as, “I believe my own ideas are superior to others.”

Professor Wade C. Rowatt, one of the study’s co-authors, explains that intellectual arrogance might stem from a clear understanding of what one knows.
This self-assurance translates into improved results in academic and cognitive tasks.
