I think the article is just stupid "do you know who you are nonsense". I've been a morning person and a night person at and I've had different ambitions and widely personality traits at different intervals of my life. One of the whole point of buddhism is maintaining that we don't have a consistent identity. Claiming that you're smart doesn't make you dumb and practicing humility doesn't make you smart either. The actual smartest people on the planet can be overconfident a$%holes just like that rest of us. Socrates also refused to "play the game" and chose to drink poison over just moving to another city. I'm not sure if that's wisdom, maybe. He chose to act in certain ways and made decisions that reinforced that, as the rest of us do - and the world certainly takes more "kinds" than that to keep moving forward - so whether or not we should show conviction in our personalities or not is, I think, the wrong question to ask.
