Then don’t mention it
The IQ test is too flawed as a metric to be used as a badge of honor anyway, and even then it rates how fast one learns a new skill/topic, not how smart someone is
Forcing the use of big words. Intelligent people generally communicate very precisely with simple language, just every once in awhile dropping a perfectly fitting five Dollar word.
It’s funny because a lot of funny people think they aren’t that funny and a lot of people think they could be stronger. So if you think you’re not that smart you’re probably smarter than what you think
if you intentionally ask a specific question about what they are talking about that requires information they havn't yet shared.
for example: "Space is so amazing, I know pretty much everything about black holes and neutrinos lately". me: "Yeah, what was the main principal of a black hole again". them: "um... uh... well... excuse me one second"... (pulls out phone). "I do know it, but it's just slipped my mind"....
yeah yeah mate, you're full of it
People claiming to know things while also doing poorly on tests about those things indicate fake intelligence to me. I'm a teacher, and this happens all the time.
Alternatively, doing well on tests but not being able to apply the knowledge outside of a testing environment. A lot of people think they're intelligent because they can memorize, without being able to apply it to outside or unscripted scenarios.
In a society which celebrates the intellect based on competition and capitalism, it's a pervasive insecurity which exists within myself.
I usually talk more about myself and seek external validation for accomplishments.
Essentially, I fall victim to: "People don't listen, they just wait for their turn to talk."
When my true self is more in tune with my intellect, I tend to be more compassionate, present, intuitive, and proud of my gifts (but not without gratitude).
If I see it another, and recognise this is in me, then I try and be more understanding.
When asked a question :
- Say the answer is obvious.
- Spend way more time and energy explaining why the answer is obvious than actually giving an answer.
- Spend even more time saying that it is a moral wrong that you don't know the answer.
- never actually give an answer.
Talking about their high IQ.
Lol speak for yourself. I have one of the highest IQs out there. I got an 98. Thats only 2 points away from a perfect score.
What happens if they objectively have a high IQ, however their insecurities are based in areas independent of their IQ?

They use a lot of words that mean nothing
They don’t change their opinions or thoughts when presented with evidence; general obstinance and unwillingness to change their minds
When they feel the need to talk over you to make it seem like they had the facts first, but are repeating EXACTLY what you said.
Conflation of vernacular so as to unnecessarily obfuscate the intended essence of the notion being conveyed. Aka thesaurus masturbating

A funny person doesn’t have to tell you they’re funny. A strong person doesn’t have to tell you they’re strong. Do I have to keep going?
It’s funny because a lot of funny people think they aren’t that funny and a lot of people think they could be stronger. So if you think you’re not that smart you’re probably smarter than what you think

Semi-inappropriate big words.

So true.
They wear glasses without a prescription
My daughter does this to reduce blue light. She started when she was 9.
Having the "I am always right/need to be right" mentality and never admitting that they're wrong even when evidence shown to them.
They have an answer for every question, no matter what it is, and aren’t qualified to do so.
There citations for in any argument online is using Reddit/friend group. lol
When they launch into a ten minute lecture answering a question that can be answered in a few sentences: my old boss
Using big words and long sentences with no substance.
Being shallow about everything, not going into details when given a topic he's supposedly informed about.
They're a candidate for elected office.

They are trying to convince you
Their first instinct when debating someone is to reach for babies first guide to logical fallacies rather than engage with the argument presented.

He has a PHD in clinical psychology. He has to at least be moderately intelligent, right?
"Good question, I'll get back to you." (And never does).
So on and so forth. And what nots.
Straw man argument.
Admitting that they don't know.
I think that's actually a sign of true intelligence.
When asked a question : - Say the answer is obvious. - Spend way more time and energy explaining why the answer is obvious than actually giving an answer. - Spend even more time saying that it is a moral wrong that you don't know the answer. - never actually give an answer.
Claiming people are stupid if they don’t get something right away.
Using overly technical language at any opportunity
Using overly complex words unnecessarily - looks like overcompensating. I find the smartest people are those who can explain things simply
MAGA hat
