As Forrest Gump famously quipped "stupid is as stupid does".

Forrest was right, as far too many people judged him by purely looking at him, which should not have been indicative of his, or anyone's, overall intelligence.

Even so, we've likely all been guilty of judging someone's intelligence based on a first impression.

Likely owing to something outrageous they said or did.

Redditor unuwungu was curious to hear the things which will immediately make people question the intelligence of others, leading them to ask:
"What makes you instantly question someone's intelligence?"

One Shouldn't Always Be So Confident...

"Being confidently ignorant."- Tattooed-Tango

Learning Is An Eternal Gift

"An unwillingness to learn new things."- Electrical-Bid-9577

Don't Be Fooled...

"Interest in a pyramid scheme."- GameCox

"When people are really into a MLM scheme."

"I’m not taking about 'I’m a bored house wife so I decided to start selling makeup, leggings, whatever it may be, because I’m bored and this gives me something to do'.”

"I’m talking about the people who consider it their career and are huge into the Boss Babe lifestyle."- Milehighcarson

Spreading Garbage

"When they post one of those things on Facebook saying 'only a few will share!' or when they comment on one of those clickbait 'God has a blessing for you today say amen!' posts."- se7ensquared·

Do You Even Know What I'm Saying?

"Arguing without listening."- dezx156

"Talks a lot and never listens."- BaronVonOstrich

And Now For Something Completely Different

They Have No Idea What They're Missing

"Active hostility to books (as opposed to simply not reading them)."- Manganela

Nice Try

"When they repeat a certain statement word for word I get the impression that they memorized something to sound more intelligent than they are."- Armedes369

Talking Nigel Thornberry GIFGiphy

How Much Proof Do They Need?

"They aren't open to changing their beliefs when given new information."- Pretengineer_825

What Are They Trying To Prove?

"Oddly enough, when they try and tell me their IQ."- manwithoutcountry

It is often the people who try to prove how smart they are who end up doing just the opposite.

A truly intelligent person would know better than to do that.
