The term can thus also refer to poor use of judgement, or insensitivity to nuances in a person whose is otherwise intelligent. The determination of who is stupid is relatively difficult, despite attempts to measure intelligence (and thus stupidity) such as IQ tests. The adjective is al ...

Recently a great deal of attention has been paid to another class of stupidity: stupid actions by those that are highly educated and worldly. It is an important subject as it is increasingly evident that powerful, and generally very intelligent, people sometimes do stupid things. In recent years a number of notions such as groupthink have been developed to explain this.

While misanthropes express a general dislike for humanity as a single entity, they generally have normal relationships with specific individuals. Misanthropy may be motivated by feelings of isolation or alienation. Misanthropy may also resemble intellectual arrogance, where a person dislikes humanity because he or she feels that humans are stupid. Overt expressions of misanthropy are common in satire and comedy, although intense misanthropy is gene ...

Australians are the butt of Kiwi humour in many ways (and vice versa, of course) — even at the highest diplomatic level. During the 1980s, then Prime Minister of New Zealand Robert Muldoon was asked about the increasing exodus of New Zealanders leaving the country to work in Australia. His comment was that by doing so, they were raising the average IQ of both countries. In general terms, Australians are stereotyped in New Zealand humour as being brash, boorish, and more than a little stupid. New Zealanders, in return, are seen by Aussies as being dull, unsophisticated yokels, and mocked as 'South Seas ...
