Things That Might Make People Question How Smart You Are

Sometimes people do things that make you look at them a little sideways. You may realize how smart someone actually is when you see their impressive problem-solving skills in action, or watch them win at โ€œJeopardy.โ€ But then there are people who you may have considered fairly smart, right up until they do something that changes your mind about them forever.

A Reddit thread digs into this by asking, โ€œWhat makes you instantly question someoneโ€™s intelligence?โ€ More than 8-thousand responses have come in and these are some of the best:

  • โ€œSubscribing to a political party like itโ€™s a religion.โ€
  • โ€œWhen they repeat a certain statement word for word I get the impression that they memorized something to sound more intelligent than they are.โ€
  • โ€œIf they believe in TV magicians, ghost hunting shows, or that most other reality shows are not scripted.โ€
  • โ€œPeople who can only argue by raising their voice.โ€
  • โ€œThey aren't open to changing their beliefs when given new information.โ€
  • โ€œLitteringโ€
  • โ€œActive hostility to books (as opposed to simply not reading them).โ€
  • โ€œBeing confidently ignorantโ€
  • โ€œBeing proud of never having read a bookโ€
  • โ€œOddly enough, when they try and tell me their IQ.โ€
  • โ€œPeople who unironically use the words โ€˜alpha maleโ€™โ€™
  • โ€œTalking about horoscopes. โ€˜I'm toxic and clingy because I'm a caprisun.โ€™ No, Sharon โ€ฆ The stars had nothing to do with it.โ€
  • โ€œSupposablyโ€
  • โ€œHaving even a cursory interest in what the Kardashians are doing.โ€
  • โ€œIf they pour milk before cerealโ€
  • โ€œWheels or a stereo worth more than the car they are in.โ€
  • โ€œIf you have โ€˜live laugh loveโ€™ anywhere in your houseโ€ฆโ€
  • โ€œInterest in a pyramid scheme.โ€
