Interestingly, almost 80 % of participants rated their intelligence as above average, with males reporting significantly higher self-estimated intelligence scores than females. However, we found no significant relationship between self-estimated intelligence and ICAR-16 scores. These results suggest that there may be a discrepancy between our perceived intelligence and our actual cognitive ability, or that we may have a fallacious understanding of our intelligence levels.
The study needs to be reproduced in different regions and countries to eliminate culture biases.
I also wonder how much of an influence it has if you know the results of an IQ test done on you for a mental health diagnosis.
Would such an assessment coincide with this test enough that it wouldn’t count you as falsely guessing your intelligence?
