You knew I would have something to say about it right there didn't. That exact spot 😁 Now... I could make a jab and say "Well, maybe they're overestimating their intellectual capacity but I think that would be low hanging fruit. I think it's more interesting to say that the disparity is to great that I genuinely can't tell the difference between any of you.
Hym "You also have to consider (when talking about intellectual compatibility) the fact that half of the population doesn't believe in the I.Q. literature as a reliable metric for intellectual and refer to the fact that early I.Q. tests involved American history and pop-culture trivia while ingoring entirely the fact that THEY DON'T DO THAT NOW and it now consists in 3 sections (Word association, Logic, and Number sequencing). But I don't think number sequencing relates to general cognitive ability as it relates to a certain type of innate mathematical perception OR mathematical literacy (as it can be learned and once you know the equation that solves number sequence problems you can just solve the problems). Right? They're mostly proponents of multiple intelligences theory or rely on field expertise or education. But to use education as a metric for intelligence you have to presuppose that the people who have taken the course would have done better than the people who hadn't, had the latter people taken the course (Which you WOULD but only because my staggering brilliance would embarrass the professor and he would sabotage me out of spite). Expertise is meaningless if the conclusion drawn by way of your expertise is wrong. And multiple intelligences is just 'expertise' and 'education' and 'emotional intelligence (which isn't real)' and 'creativity' as, like, a plurality of ways in which a person can be considered 'intelligent.' So, there's that."

A person who has taken 100 level classes at the local junior college in philosophy, psychology, and literature and pretends to be an intellectual by sprinkling obscure references in everyday speech. Somehow a reference to Kierkegaard will suddenly show up when deciding which toppings should go on a pizza. Or some reference they heard from the show Big Bang Theory, without citing the source, about Schrödinger's cat will pop up because they think it will impress everyone.
The comedian Dennis Miller is a good example.

A group of people that fuels each other. The intellectuals communicate through language the ideas and thoughts of the group, and teach, while the spiritual ones provide (or are) the fuel to the group that keep things going, get things and people heated up about bullshit. Usually they end up making a mushroom cloud of their environment as long as they're in.

When I hear him/her/they speak about deep things and intellectual topics, I get turned on. I think I am an Intellectual Sexual.

To think about, consider, and reflect on a deep idea or concept in order to make sense of it and to integrate it into your understanding of the world
When you intellectually digest the ideas behind evolution, you will have a better understanding of how COVID can have repeated waves of infection in a human population.

Knowledge transfer without comprehension, or logical discovery. IE: Being trained vs. educated.
At a higher level this is akin to the Roman relationship with the Greeks, third world technology acquisition, and numerous examples.

The American Military engages in all kinds of intellectual panhandling.
