Study Confirms That Know-It-Alls Actually Know Less
 
By Aliyah Kovner
02 Jun 2018, 02:53

Confirming what frustrated rationally minded folks have long suspected, a duo of psychological researchers have shown that people who think they are the smartest person in the room are often quite the opposite.

Writing in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, Michael Hall and Kaitlin Raimi tested whether individuals with a high level of “belief superiority” – the thought that your opinion is more correct than others’ – truly have superior knowledge on the issues at hand.

I am another.  You know, all these idiots who think they know it all are making things pretty difficult for those of us who really do.

@RoosGirl can relate to our problem.

I'll just say, after having to hand detail my car twice, my husband learned not to bet me.  I don't know shit about most things, but when I actually make a serious comment about something I'm 99% sure I'm right about what I'm saying.  Otherwise I'm just being a smartass, which I guess is different than the type of person the article is talking about, and I'm just here for your entertainment.
