In a similar vein, I always thought this:

Arrogance comes from stupidity.

*The more inept you are the smarter you think you are*

Looks like we’ve just made geniuses out of every single homeless drug addict based on this one statement.

Sense of humor and grammar, I would agree. Intelligence and analytical reasoning ability, not in my experience. People who are truly gifted recognize it, and so do their peers. People who don’t have the smarts to be in the field (math, physics, engineering) realize they are struggling and so do those who work with them.

I assume the conclusions in this piece apply to everyone but Psychologists and their own work.

Barak Obama and the Peter Principle.

He’s a walking, talking, incompetent example of this article.

The more inept you are the smarter you think you are

No wonder Obama considers himself the smartest person on the planet.

I have always thought I was pretty dumb (because my math skills are poor).

Does this mean I am really smart, (except for math of course)?

No I did not read the article. :)
