Why do midwits feel the need to exxagerate their intelligence. Bc of that they feel the need to obsessively read or whatever activity they perceive as being "high iq" even more...

I'm smart enough to know how stupid I am. All I've tested actually smart at was English though. Basically, I have jew smarts but instead of neurotic I'm autistic.

Part of being smart is accepting how stupid you are. I breezed up until calc iii and then with no study skills at all I couldn't continue because I didn't have my differentiation memorized well enough to do it quickly so I quit engineering and just got an English degree.

It was a bs conspiracy. The gate program was mandated to counter common core but midwits have the delusion theyre super geniuses in a government psyop responsible for their lack of achievement.

I was in Gate too btw..top of my class. I'm midwit. I'll admit it. Rest of my class were basically retarded. Everybody else outside of the Gate class probly had an iq resting at a lukewarm 90 unironically. Must be the fluoride.
