I was reading a comment thread recently.

One commenter stated that they are aware of the people who are “dumber” than them, and if they are not aware the person they are talking to is either similar in intelligence or smarter than they are.

So my question is, do you have this awareness?

Are you conscious of your relative standing in the intelligence hierarchy around you?

And a side point, can you tell a smart person is acting dumb to fit in with those around them?

    This is a pretty good take, a lot of this is time. But the aggressively stupid do out themselves pretty quickly.

    Interacting with people more, will give you a fuller sense of their personality.
