Well, I’m exaggerating just a little. 99.99% right. There is that occasion, albeit rare, where I make a mistake.
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.”
This belief isn’t just empty arrogance—it correlates with better performance on academic tests.
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.
