You'll only get the piss taken out of you if you are a dork.
You can be intelligent without being a dork.

There can also be people who think they are somehow better than everyone else because they think that they are intelligent (half of this thread).
Newsflash: people hate that.

I went to a school that was the most over-subscribed school in the UK, only 180 would get in out of the 1600 odd that applied.
There were a lot of stuck up pricks there that looked down on me as if I were scum, some sort of retard that cannot even communicate with them.

If you're smart, no need to brag and be a dick about it.
