How do you make that judgement? Her self-confidence thing was all a facade, as we see when she breaks down when madoka confronts her in episodes 8 and 11. And the only people it seems she talked to between across the various timelines were Madoka and Co., so I'm not sure where she would've gotten the experience from. Do we ever see a scene in which she successfully convinces anyone of anything?

I didn't mean idiot in the "low IQ" sense. She's obviously good at finding weapons and putting together traps. Which is a completely different skill from behaving effectively in social situations.

Define dealing successfuly with Kyoko. Does that involve threatening her with a grenade and then running away? She never really even tries to convince Sayaka and Kyoko to go along with her.
