Anyone who thinks they are smart is almost certainly a retard and has no other objective measure to preen about their superiority to other people. Especially if they know or brag about their IQ.
But people love to circlejerk about how they, their group, and their hangout is filled with High IQ individuals who are capable of answering those questions.
Its not a "this place" thing, its a basic human nature thing. Everyone thinks they are smarter than everyone else, no one will admit they are in the 50% of the population below 100 IQ if they can even recognize it.
You can see in the answers you got, which is filled with people smugly crowing about how everyone else is boring and they are so ostracized and alone because of their super intellect.
There seemed to be a few replies from actual smart people though,
How can you tell? There are some people for whom I'd think that it's not very unlikely that they're telling the truth... but since we're on the internet, no one knows you're a dog and no one knows that you ain't bright.
It may be even worse in real life, because how well-spoken you are has an enormous impact on how smart you're considered to be. I think this is less the case on the internet, as people know you can just edit stuff to sound coherent.
