I rate this as clickbait. It seems to be a mix of statements that either are neither correlated with intelligence (even in the article) or for which the supposed correlation is unsubstantiated. Substitute "many people" for "intelligent people" and much of it become unexceptionable - but less provocative. And as for the "scientifically confirmed" assertion that "individuals with high IQs need less socialization ..." I'd love to see the research - which I doubt actually exists. Yes, some of us are INTJs (not that Myers Briggs has scientific rigour), and much of this article applies. But evidence that introversion correlates with IQ? Give me a break!

Frankly, I keep expecting the punch line would turn out to be "so join our cult, submit to our leader, and substitute spirtuality for thinking" - with the "cult" being presented as something fairly mainstream, like Christianity.
