Sometimes it's not acting, it's different flavors of intelligence in different settings.
I'd say you've gotta be highly intelligent in a certain way to make it to the top of a drug cartel. Does that mean Stephen Hawking could run a drug cartel? Could the kingpin of the cartel make it in academia?
Intelligence is basically fixed. For instance they say if you exercise your brain alot you can raise your IQ by a couple of points, but that's it, no more, no less.
But behaviour is easy for people modify, so if you find someone acting like an idiot around you it may be that they are simply trying to fit in with what they percieve those around them to be.
Most act like fools in the company of actual fools.
But I think you're mixing two things up.
Because what you seem to be talking about is "emotional maturity" but that has nothing to do with intelligence. You can be a genius and still be really immature.
Is it normal that I don't like self conceited persons?
