Not satisfied with merely being the cool kids, they also perceive themselves as the smart ones now.

They don't even look over and copy the answers from the nerds anymore. They "got this".

When their incorrect answers are flagged, they merely assert that they are in fact correct.

They have very little natural curiosity about the real facts and right answers.
