Do people often misunderestimate your level of intelligence?

One girl i was talking to had the same self esteem issue-people didn’t think she was smart, only a hard worker. In school she works very hard to learn, does her homework all the time, and always pesters the teachers and other students when she doesn’t get something (quite often). This is a contrast to the “smart people” who never do their hwk and cram the night before.

So do you think you are smart only because you work hard and good grades?
