As Forrest Gump famously quipped "stupid is as stupid does".
Forrest was right, as far too many people judged him by purely looking at him, which should not have been indicative of his, or anyone's, overall intelligence.
Even so, we've likely all been guilty of judging someone's intelligence based on a first impression.
Likely owing to something outrageous they said or did.
Redditor unuwungu was curious to hear the things which will immediately make people question the intelligence of others, leading them to ask:
"What makes you instantly question someone's intelligence?"
