<p>Sort of. I generally pretend to be more moderate though.</p>
<p>Also, my criterion sort of differ from most others (and it really depends on the population I have substantial interaction with - I was most elitist when I was in middle school). Intelligence is, of course, important, but it is secondary and not sufficient. I’m mostly elitist with respect to smart people who feel alienated from others (especially smart people with social anxiety). But in the end, I don’t even feel any emotional connection with people who are very rational (aka people who read LessWrong - everyone there is SO old), so then I don’t even identify with the group that I thought I’d most identify with.</p>
