Exeter has just been ranked in the top 150 QS world university rankings, and Ruby is someone who is essentially promoting them every day, and not doing a great job with it. I really wonder how much help she got with her personal statement etc., and how much truth there is to her grades that she shares
Overall Exeter is ranked 164 and my uni is ranked 61I checked, Exeter is ranked 55 for English, my uni is ranked 41

Yeah my comment was just a little joke, rankings are often bs, but I agree with you. I don't get why her grades are quite good while her reviews and stuff are so bad.I don’t know about English, I'm not on that coursebut I got the email today and it's made it into the top 150, my point isn't to brag on behalf of Roobee or anything (or to start some form of bragging war about our uni's rankings), my point is she's not putting her best foot forward when it comes to representing her university, her course, or herself
I honestly wouldn't trust Ruby to have the forethought to think 'I should represent this course well because that will directly benefit me in the future' when she's trying to pretend she's a Victorian childI don’t know about English, I'm not on that coursebut I got the email today and it's made it into the top 150, my point isn't to brag on behalf of Roobee or anything (or to start some form of bragging war about our uni's rankings), my point is she's not putting her best foot forward when it comes to representing her university, her course, or herself
just so you know, they pay to be in it, yes there has to be some academic standard but it’s all about £££At the end of the day Exeter is a RG uni.
*annoying child I think you meantYes she would've been seen as an intelligent and well poised child
I think part of the issue is that Ruby doesn’t necessarily consider ‘fun’ productive. To most people working efficiently means you can go on nights out, take days off, spend time on hobbies or just lay on the sofa watching Netflix. I’ve always got the sense that Ruby looks down on people who work for less time so they can go to the pub (or do anything else!) because she directly equates time with effectiveness, and struggles to believe that someone who works 5 hours a day then goes out and gets drunk, or watches - the horror, the horror - a whole film in the evening instead of just 20 minutes, could possibly be as intelligent, hard working, or successful grades-wise as her. The only kind of ‘fun’ we ever see her having is prancing around in fields, exercise (but to a potentially unhealthy extent), and reading children’s books. Most stuff 21 year olds consider fun, she seems to regard as beneath her.I can understand some people’s arguments about her long studying hours and it not really making a difference grade wise. She studies for 11 hours but gets the similar grades to someone who would study 4-5 hours. The question is does Ruby ever think about adjusting the way she studies or how productive her studying is? It can only help her, this way she has more time for more fun things.
sheesh... that amount of depth is overwhelming. in other news, Emma was born at 18:00 on 15th April 1990View attachment 609713

I didn't even realise it was about a children's book as I didn't know the book before this... the review was already meh but now it makes me want to pull my hair outsheesh... that amount of depth is overwhelming. in other news, Emma was born at 18:00 on 15th April 1990
We've already established that she's not at clever as she presents herself to be.
Also, surely it’s ’scourge’ and not ‘scrouge’ ... I just know Ruby’s been pronouncing it sc-rooge.View attachment 609713

I don’t know what the context of that is and whilst the Maria-character comes off as a bit unpleasant it does seem set up to humiliate her. For a start, the ‘average’ IQ is 100 so if you pulled six randoms off the street you’d be unlikely to get six people with above average IQs, which they all apparently have. Also, not to poop on anyone’s IQ but an internet-based test administered in those conditions is not going to be at all accurate. It might be an indicator but I’m always sceptical of anyone who claims a high IQ based on an internet test. I’m sure in one video Ruby claimed an IQ of 140. That might be the case but sounds more like a figure based on a Buzzfeed quiz, since however badly you do on these tests I’ve never seen anyone score less than 100, which is improbable. It’s like every vlogger who wants to be seen as ‘special‘ claims they’re an INFJ in Myers-Briggs because they read the definitions and saw that was the least common personality type (and I’m just using that as an example, I’m not conflating them and I know that both IQ testing and Myers-Briggs are massively problematic and have questionable histories. I’m just using them as examples of vloggers spouting nonsense to claim specialness).
Ruby reminds me slightly of this women, someone who wants to be perceived as intelligent, although I haven't seen her blatantly bragging about grades (I may be wrong tho). As we have established, her book reviews/ comments are very superficial. That with the long hours she has to put in to obtain the grades she does makes me think that she isn't as intelligent as she comes across. In my opinion she is probably has average intelligence.
I definitely don't think ruby is unpleasant in the same manor as her. This isn't the whole video btw, it is part of the original so It comes across differently here I think.I don’t know what the context of that is and whilst the Maria-character comes off as a bit unpleasant it does seem set up to humiliate her.
yes, I think that most internet IQ tests are far from accurate, but my point of this is that I think it demonstrates quite nicely the Dunning-Kruger effect (a cognitive bias in which people believe that they are smarter and more capable than they really are)Also, not to poop on anyone’s IQ but an internet-based test administered in those conditions is not going to be at all accurate.

I understand Dunning-Kruger but I don’t think that’s a good illustration of it. As in, Maria definitely wasn’t ‘stupid’ and probably wasn’t overestimating her own intelligence, just underestimating that of everyone elseyes, I think that most internet IQ tests are far from accurate, but my point of this is that I think it demonstrates quite nicely the Dunning-Kruger effect (a cognitive bias in which people believe that they are smarter and more capable than they really are)
