I am an experienced guy and had a couple of interviews recently, where I observed that the panelists were extremely rude.
I could understand that my answers did not make much sense to them, and I am happy to accept that I am not a 'mr. Know it all" but their rudeness is not clear to me.
As far as I know I did not say or do anything to offend them, and the point of interview discussion is precisely to find out how much a candidate knows .
Could you help me understand What might be the reason for their arrogance?

Hi all ,
I feel zoned out during office hours.Then I have to sacrifice my weekend to complete the remaining work as there will be status meeting in the next week.Im completely lost since last one month. Currently I'm working in autosar(application layer), but I feel like switching my career into full stack development.I find no balance in work neither in learning.My social circle is messed up , I hardly interact with people around me.

I am a big fan of playing cricket and used to play with my full heart. Today after a year I went to play with my office friends, but felt really lost, didn't get any excitement, felt lazy and didn't know why.
Absolutely fascinating piece on sex and intelligence on Gene Expression. Bottom line: The very intelligent are more likely to be virgins, and to have less sex when they are married.
The cause may be testosterone, which appears to suppress intelligence and increase sex drive.
I guess my raw intelligence must be enough to overcome my overwhelming sex drive. Either that, or castration would make me much smarter. Not that I’m going to try out that theory.
Here are some of the key tidbits:
“Depending on the specific age and gender, an adolescent with an IQ of 100 was 1.5 to 5 times more likely to have had intercourse than a teen with a score of 120 or 130.
Each additional point of IQ increased the odds of virginity by 2.7% for males and 1.7% for females.”
“By the age of 19, 80% of US males and 75% of women have lost their virginity, and 87% of college students have had sex. But this number appears to be much lower at elite (i.e. more intelligent) colleges. According to the article, only 56% of Princeton undergraduates have had intercourse.
At Harvard 59% of the undergraduates are non-virgins, and at MIT, only a slight majority, 51%, have had intercourse. Further, only 65% of MIT graduate students have had sex.”
The author even cites the famous Wellesley study, and notes, “This paper provides me with GRE scores by academic discipline, and, in fact, the correlation between the percentage of virgins in each Wellesley major and the average ‘Analytical’ GRE score associated with the discipline is 0.60.”
“Not only do intelligent people have a delayed onset of sexual behavior, Half Sigma found that they also have a lower number of premarital sex partners throughout adulthood (18-39). While this is consistent with the above theory that high IQ people are more religious and conservative, this is, of course, not true.
Religiousness correlates with lower IQ, and as HS shows in the same post, intelligent people were also more likely to say that premarital sex was not immoral. (Leaving those who did think it was immoral to participate in the bulk of it!)”
“Perhaps more revealing, HS, also showed that intelligence correlates with less sex within marriage for the same age range. While still consistent with pregnancy fears and competing interests, lower sex drive seems like a better fit.
In fact another revealing finding from the Counterpoint survey was that while 95% of US men and 70% of women masturbate, this number is only 68% of men and 20% of women at MIT!” (Editor’s Note: I know people from MIT, and I don’t believe this stat for a second.)
“Also the idea that more intelligent people are too busy for the opposite sex not just in 7th grade to college, but throughout adulthood and for their own spouse, seems unrealistic. In fact the GSS also shows (PDF) that smarter people spend more time socializing with their friends, indicating their hours aren’t spent as uniquely isolated and narrowly channeled as the theory would require.”
“Half Sigma also showed that the smartest men in the GSS (approx. IQ >120) were also more likely to visit a prostitute. (Hardly indicative of cautiousness) This may suggest intelligent men are less able to find willing sex partners. Are smart men less attractive to women? Perhaps in some ways. For instance HS found that smart men were less likely to be athletic, and this paper shows, unathletic men and women have fewer sex partners. Athletic men, with more willing sexual partners are also less likely to visit a prostitute.
Athletic activity gives men more masculine bodies, which are more attractive to women. A more masculine physique correlates with (PDF) an increased number of sex partners.”
“One team found that salivary testosterone levels were lower for preadolescent boys with IQs above 130 and below 70. (the same two groups most likely to be virgins in adolescence). Another paper suggests that a gene responsible for androgen sensitivity and higher sperm counts may also create a tradeoff for intelligence.”
