I think you fell for the game these sociopaths play pretty hard.

The irony of your article is that most of the traits you ascribe to “truly intelligent” people are exactly the behaviors exhibited by people who desire to appear to be smarter than they really are.

Intelligent people understand that there is a wide spectrum of different types of intelligence. And that these manifest themselves in a wide range of social interactive behaviors. Most of these are not as sociopathic as the behaviors you describe.

Intelligent people do not try to gauge the intellect of other people based on behavior alone.
