I’m poor as shit and I think I’m pretty damn smart.
My ex was a trust fund baby and dumb as rocks. I did his college capstone for him.
People who think they are smart usually overestimate their abilities.

Personally I don't buy into the whole measurable intelligence mentality. I am a firm believer that a person without any medically significant cognitive deficiencies are all smart in some way and are experts in some particular field/subject.
False confidence is real, but it's silly to think all confidence is false.
Dunning-Kruger is very overstated.
