Hello, I've waited here for you.

Study: Women Apparently Pretend To Be Dumb Around Randos

“Participants [took] a series of individual IQ tests then grouped together based on their scores. So the smarties went with the smarties, and so on. The researchers then asked the groups to complete a set to “ranked group IQ tasks,” according to a press release from VT. They were not informed that they were placed with others of similar innate intelligence until the end of the group tasks … Some individuals’ expressed IQ was affected by signals about their status within a small group. Basically, if you’ve decided that you’re dumber than those around you, you’re going to act way dumber than you actually are … The result? Women in business meetings, on juries and even at parties may perceive themselves as less intelligent — and act that way.”

I happen to be an asshole who will get on an intellectual high horse when I sense that those around me aren’t very smart. Just kidding, but I still wouldn’t pretend to be dumb to feel like a member of a certain group so what the hell is this shit, ladies??
