Isn't the ability to act like your intelligence a sign of actual intelligence? If you have an IQ of, say, 110 (which is still considered bright by IQ standards, but by no means indicative of the kind of intelligence that'd get you into a high level university), but you can fool not just normies but even actual highly intelligent people (measured IQ of 120+ and/or people from top level universities) into thinking you're more intelligent than what you've been measured at, how is that in itself not a form of high intelligence? You have to be able to mimic the kinds of complex speech and mannerisms that are usually associated with intelligent people in a way that successful enough for you to be able to fool others... This seems rather circular though, however if it is the case then wouldn't that defeat at least some of the viability of IQ tests? Idk maybe I'm just bullshitting and my logic is retarded. But let's see what /sci/ thinks.
