Is thinking highly of one's own intelligence a weakness?

VTR: Hi! Every person thinks highly of their own intelligence. Do you think this is a weakness?

ADNAN OKTAR: It can be considered as a normal thing, but in the mean time people should be open to advice of others and criticism as well. People should know to be doubtful of something in necessary cases. They should be open to advice and counsel. We also see consultation in the Quran. Almighty God tells the Prophet (saas) to consult others. Prophets should be the ones who would think most highly of their intelligence and wisdom as they enjoy God's assurance. However, God tells prophets to consult others. Believers should be open to consultation. In other words, they should be open to all sorts of advice. If they are too sure of their own intelligence, they will face hardship. It is, in a way, a mental disorder to be so sure of, so full of one's self. Believers should definitely be open-minded, well-receiving and accepting of the truth in their way of thinking. In fact, people should often question themselves whether they are really accepting good advice by others. They should reflect on how well-receiving of outside counsel they are. They should give themselves such a test. If they accept none, then something is not right. That is kind of a mental disorder.
