I don't think I'm smart or stupid in fixed ways, but people are almost always over or underestimating me. The ways in which they do so seem to vary by person. In short, I think it's more a matter of perspective.

Some people think I'm much smarter than I probably am, while others dismiss me (or think I overestimate myself). And if I have to be honest, the over/underestimation seeps into almost every way in which other people might evaluate me. I don't really understand how it works though.

Yes! Yes!

People think they know me. Can you ever really know a person, though, when that person doesn't completely know him/herself?

In what ways are you smart and stupid?
