Are we as intelligent as we think? (www.sciencedirect.com)

Interestingly, almost 80 % of participants rated their intelligence as above average, with males reporting significantly higher self-estimated intelligence scores than females. However, we found no significant relationship between self-estimated intelligence and ICAR-16 scores. These results suggest that there may be a discrepancy between our perceived intelligence and our actual cognitive ability, or that we may have a fallacious understanding of our intelligence levels.

This suggests that there may be a discrepancy between how we perceive our own intelligence and our actual cognitive abilities, as measured by IQ test free, or that we may have a distorted understanding of our level of intelligence.
