Everyone is subject to the Dunning-Kruger effect. IMO intelligence is more about how quickly can you adapt to a new field. Everyone will have stupid moments if they are thrown in the deep waters of an unfamiliar field.
- stephc_int13 4y agoAgreed, to some extent. The idea that some people are genuinely extremely talented and could be successful at anything is, in my opinion, unproven and dubious. I think that human intellectual potential is highly adaptable, but we tend to ignore/undervalue the full path that led someone to excellence in a field. Also, we tend to rely a lot on weak heuristics to evaluate one's intellect. The strongest one (but still weak) is language abilities. The weakest and dangerous one is wealth/status.
