What was interesting was that some groups of people, both men and women, got it so wrong. Men with average to below-average intelligence think that they are quite clever. And very smart women think their intelligence is low. That's clearly a misleading statement which has nothing to do with genders. The thing is, as far as I understand, is that the smarter people are the better they are at assessing themselves, and the more they tend to be careful about their estimations. Dumb people, on the other hand, usually think they are smart, because they have very little data and knowledge to prove themselves the opposite, and every little step they make and piece of knowledge they learn seems a big deal to them.
