If I say "I'm not that intelligent", will people actually believe me even if they pretend to be denying it?
I often see other people say it. And when their statements confirm my impressions, I believe my impressions even more. But when their statements don't confirm my impressions, then these statements don't modify my beliefs at all.

If you say you're not intelligent, it will make people believe you are more intelligent each time you say it. People will believe that you're dumbing down so you don't make them feel out of place.
