Stupidity

Stupidity is the quality or condition of being stupid, lacking intelligence, or having a low IQ. This quality can be attributed to both an individual himself (John Smith is stupid) or his actions, words or beliefs (John Smith's policies are stupid). The term can thus also refer to poor use of judgement, or insensitivity to nuances in a person whose IQ scores are satisfactory. The determination of who is stupid is difficult, despite attempts to measure intelligence (and thus stupidity) such as IQ tests. The adjective is also used by children as a general pejorative, though the usage is fading. Example: "I didn't borrow your stupid cap - go look for it yourself."
