Really men and women both tend to massively overestimate their intelligence (average person sees themselves as far above average), probably both should lower.

That overestimation drives exploration, experimentation. We can weather the bravado.

I'm not sure how intelligence relates to confidence, but I'd prefer we all have at least enough of both to be comfortable with the fact that we could be wrong and not make a huge fuss about it.

Just out of curiosity, I notice you post a lot of questionnaires, are these just things you're generally curious about? Or are you planning on using them for a research paper or something similar?
