I have overestimated people’s integrity about 2x more often than I have overestimated their intelligence 🤔
I guess lack of integrity has a weaker heat signature in things people say than lack of intelligence. Easier to pretend to be good than smart.

It feels like current society is set up to make it easy to show off intelligence and hard to show integrity. We need more social situation where integrity comes to the front - places where it's clear who's taking initiative and risk.

The best way to pretend to be both good and smart is to smile and say nothing.

As in "never attribute to lack of intelligence, that which can (first) be adequately explained by lack of integrity"?

The required sampling time interval is much larger for integrity.

Do you think people are more likely to overestimate their own integrity or their intelligence?

And breaches of integrity are judged harsher
