First off cognitive privilege was something published in an Iowa college newspaper. In the Daily Iowan in an article written by Dan Williams . This article has been removed from the Daily Iowan's site (http://daily-iowan.com/2017/07/25/williams-what-is-privilege-and-what-do-we-do-with-it/). They haven't said why.
So in short the term "cognitive privilege" was coined by a college student writing and op-ed piece for a student paper. No data was presented. It was wholly opinion. An opinion that was then dropped from the site. Because it's wrong.
As for advantages. People with high intelligence are discriminated against all the time. Have you ever been told your 'overqualified' for a position? Many people who are 'cognitive privileged' have.
And as for as you say "stupid" people. What your saying is you would want some form of affirmative action making employers hire people without the capacity to perform the job. For example would you want someone who has a hard time reading a medical journal article performing as a surgeon in an ER...where every second counts.
Intelligent People

Wouldn't want any cognitive privilege there.

Good reply, I don't know why 2 people voted it down but I've cancelled one of them with an up vote
