it's not even a joke though, being aware of your own limitations is just a useful and desirable thing full stop. if this kind of stuff bothers you (in the general, not you specifically) then you need to just stop being a pussy.
smart people are always joking about how we would be happier as clueless dummies, but in reality, we would never trade places with some prole dullard - even if it did mean a guarantee of increased happiness.
seeing the world for what it is will always be a blessing, even if it's painful sometimes

"Is it really better to be aware of that or would it better if it was possible to not think and just enjoy the ride?"
yes, yes it is. once you grow some balls, you're able to "enjoy the ride" just as much as the clueless proles. someone who is genuinely intelligent is able to be disciplined enough to avoid being "terrified and miserable" about the world around them.
believe it or not, proles are constantly worried about shit that they don't understand. it's not easy for them, either.

"Bad test taking" really is mostly flame, particularly for standardized multiple choice testing. The right answer is given to you and you either have the substantive/procedural knowledge to identify it or not. Beyond a modicum of test taking skills that can be learned in an afternoon, you're not "bad at test taking," the test just accurately determined your aptitude at whatever it was testing.
Shit, we should spread this flame to other topics. "Oh, no, I don't have HIV. The test just says I do because I'm bad at tests."

I feel that I am a "good test taker" in the sense that I can use "test taking skills" to deduce the correct answer despite the fact that I lack actual knowledge of the correct answer.
It seems to me that if I can be a good test taker, somebody else can be a bad test taker.
