A Pejorative Term That Needs To Be Retired

'The late Harvard Business School professor Chris Argyris argued that smart people can make the worst employees, in part because they’re not used to dealing with failure or criticism. Multiple studies have concluded that interpersonal skills, self-awareness, and other “emotional” qualities can be better predictors of strong job performance than conventional intelligence, and the College Board itself points out that it has never claimed SAT scores are helpful hiring filters."

I continue to see the term "stupid" used when the more accurate term should be ignorant (of the subject being discussed) or deluded (indoctrinated or mentally ill).
