Note: This post only clarifies more about me, of which most of you here know so little of. A poem provoked these thoughts but I have read no other responses or other messages yet (from that author) other than that poem. I began University Education at the age of 17 in the summer of 1972 and my first declared major was in Psychology before I switched over into Art Education. I thought I would pursue a career in psychological counseling or social work. Also, I considered nursing. It did not take me long to realize that my "personality" would not be able to tolerate those jobs in those professions. However, the college allowed early commitment to a degree program, though not recommended, due to freshman classes having so much overload that many classes were not available except for French, which I took 1 and 2. Special permission granted me the rest and that year, I had a double in religion classes, Advanced Abnormal Psychology and Advanced Human Physiology and Anatomy-- in my freshman year.

I was learning about "Dunning -Kruegar Syndrome" before it got its official label. If you don’t  know what that is, read on. Also, it can be fact-checked about the man who invented that so-called "IQ" test. He later regretted it and disavowed it. And what is the "PQ"? Nothing more than a baloney sandwich with no validation. I  welcome the friendly--I  could care less about what credentials you may have, your wealth, nor your level of intelligence or how many languages you speak, or what country you hale from -- I look at your hearts...and sadly, some seem to be very darkened.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with limited knowledge or competence in a specific domain greatly overestimate their own skills. Because they lack the expertise required to recognize their mistakes, they fail to achieve self-awareness and falsely believe they are highly proficient.
