How to use "Stupidity" in context?
There is no one answer to the question of what determines whether someone is considered to be stupid. In general, there seems to be a consensus that intelligence is one major factor, but there is no consensus on what intelligence is. Some people believe that intelligence is primarily a cognitive ability, while others believe that it is a combination of cognitive ability and personality traits. Still others believe that intelligence is determined by how well someone performs on standardized tests.
The definition of stupidity is also widely varied. Some people believe that stupidity is living in an ignorance state, while others believe that stupidity is acting without thinking.
