Nobody wants to draw attention to themselves by appearing ignorant. It is not a goal to strive for.
In our personal and professional life, we all want to be the best and brightest. There’s a reason why public speaking is one of our worst fears: we’re afraid of making a mistake that will make us look silly in front of others. It’s humiliating to appear stupid. But you’d be astonished at how simple it is.
Despite our best efforts, we occasionally participate in self-defeating acts that undermine our authority and make others mock our intelligence.
Worse, they are fairly common human tendencies that we are all prone to. However, self-awareness is the key to avoiding them. With a few basic changes to your social habits, you can look smarter and more competent in no time.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at the worst of these behaviors, why we have them, and how we may change them so that those around us recognize us for who we truly are. Also, you must try to play this How Dumb Are You quiz.
How Dumb Are You?
Dressing Down for Professional or Important Events
Who doesn’t want to be able to dress comfortably all of the time? Business casual is more acceptable than ever in modern society, but don’t forget the “business” aspect. If you dress shabbily or wear attire that is inappropriate for the occasion (or is ill-fitting), you should expect to be looked down upon.
It can be harmful if you don’t have a firm grasp on your sense of style: In a 2014 study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, 128 men of various ages and backgrounds participated in simulated business discussions.
What’s the big reveal? Suit wearers were viewed as more professional and forceful. Those dressed casually were less confident in their speech and did not garner the same level of respect from their peers.
Slouching
We’re all guilty of hunching over our screens, books, or whatever catches our attention. It’s come to the point when sitting up straight stands out as uncommon. Slouching, on the other hand, can cause more than just back pain. Watch the video below to learn why you should sit up straighter.
Excessive Nodding and Tilting of the Head
It may seem strange, but how you carry your head in a professional meeting or informal conversation can have a significant impact on how others see you.
About the quiz
According to Goman, this might be a problem that significantly damages women’s confidence. One example is head tilting, which is acceptable in moderation but suggests submissiveness when used excessively.
Misuse of Phrases and Words (and Verbal Pauses)
We all want to be noticed, therefore adding some fancy words to our lexicon can help. This can backfire spectacularly if you don’t have a firm handle on the language you employ. You come across as arrogant and ignorant.
Language Softeners and the “Success of Outsourcing”
Sayler also warns against using a “language softener,” which are self-deprecating comments like “well, I’m not sure about this proposal, but…”, which may cause your contribution to be overlooked in favor of someone else’s more confident pitch.
She goes on to remark that these kinds of statements “minimize what you say next….”
It gives you a less intelligent appearance.”
