It excessively simplifies everything.
Looking at how a person understands the world around them reveals a lot about them. Truly intelligent people understand that life is complex. They grasp subtle differences, accept ambiguity, and focus on diversity. On the other hand, people who pretend to be smart tend to oversimplify everything. They tend to see things in black and white, offer easy answers to complex problems, and do not delve deeply or analyze thoroughly. This is not just a lack of understanding, but also shows a disinterest in learning new things and a lack of curiosity.
Does not admit to being wrong
Truly intelligent people admit when they are wrong. However, those who pretend to be smart seem to have an insatiable desire to be right. Even when there is evidence that they are wrong, they distort facts or change the direction of the conversation to avoid admitting their mistakes. For these individuals, maintaining the appearance of being smart is more important than learning from experience and growing.
Misuses difficult words.
How one uses the powerful tool of language can reveal a lot about that person. Someone pretending to be smart often misuses difficult words to impress others. However, truly intelligent people have the ability to explain complex concepts in simple, clear, and concise language. They do not need to boast with complicated technical terms, but instead focus on communicating clearly and effectively. If someone frequently uses difficult words that do not fit the context, it may be a sign that they are trying too hard to appear smart.
Accept without criticism
It's not just about having a lot of knowledge, but about how you apply that knowledge. This is a skill that people who pretend to be smart lack. They tend to accept the presented information as it is without questioning or viewing it from different angles. They draw conclusions without analyzing the situation or considering alternative perspectives. When critical thinking is lacking in this way, it leads to poor decision-making and prevents a deep understanding of the world.

(2) Does not admit to being wrong
(3) Misuses difficult words.
(4) Accepts without criticism
These people are pretending to be smart.
모든 것을 지나치게 단순화한다에 나온 새로운 것을 배우는데 관심이 없고 호기심이 없다는게 정말 저 같아서 좀 찔리네요...저도 어릴땐 제가 틀렸다는걸 받아들이고 인정하는게 어려웠는데, 나이가 들면서 여러 사람을 마주하고 살다보니 제가 모르는것도 많았고 옳지 않았던 부분도 분명 있었다는걸 인장하고 배워가게 되더라구요. 아마 한때는 똑똑한척 하던 사람들도 이렇게 삶을 살아가면서 다양한 사람들을 만나고 여러 관점으로 바라보게 되면서 연륜과 경험이 쌓여 점차 진짜 똑똑해지는게 아닐까 생각해봅니다! 물론 한평생 똥고집으로 똑똑한척 하는 사람도 있겠지만요^^;; 진짜 똑똑한 사람들은 그런 똑척이들을 바로 알아볼것 같네요ㅎㅎ 저도 똑척이 말고 진짜 똑똑한 사람이 될 수 있도록 올려주신 글 여러번 정독해야겠습니다!
와~ 저 사람 똑똑하다라고 요즘 느껴본 사람이 없는것 같아요 똑똑한척하면서 말하곤 하지만 말하다보면 알수 잇는것 같아요
나르시시스트 같은 느낌이 드네요. 정말 현실에서 피해야 할 사람인 거죠. 이런 사람들은 대화도 안 통 하기 때문에 이런 사람을 만났을 때는 설득하려 하지 말고 그냥 피하는 게 정답일 수도 있습니다 ㅎ
