Quote by Laurence J. Peter
An intelligence test sometimes shows a man how smart he would have been not to have taken it.
Summary
This quote suggests that an individual may regret taking an intelligence test if their performance reveals a lack of intelligence or undesirable results. It implies that taking the test could expose one's perceived intelligence levels, highlighting potential shortcomings. By realizing this, the test-taker may have wished they had avoided taking the test altogether to avoid any negative feedback or ego-bruising that could arise from the results.
