Is it better to be honestly arrogant or hypocritically humble?
Honest about your abilities, whatever they may be.
Real humility is recognizing that you have an IQ higher than that of 99.9% of the population and yet you still have less common sense than a garden slug (if both those facts happen to be, as far as you can tell, true).
