I have found that people in general, male and female, who represents and touts themselves as intelligent routinely over-estimate their intellectual capability. The truly intelligent person has a good appreciation for what they DON’T know and the result is a demeanor indicating reasonable humility. In short, be very wary of one who thinks themselves to be brilliant.

You hit the nail on the head. After years of observation I’ve come to the same conclusion.

“In short, be very wary of one who thinks themselves to be brilliant.”

Like most women: “Gosh, I have no engineering experience, I know nothing of your company or products, and I know nothing of your industry, but I’m smart, have organizational skills, and I want to be the boss.”

Miss Big-Titty Syndrome.
