I'm increasingly dissatisfied with "smart guy" archetypes or personality tropes. "The Sage", "The Magician", "Spock", "Athena", etc.

Identifying as an "interesting" person seems like another trap. Sometimes the truth is basic and not that interesting. Sometimes it makes sense to be passionate, not "interested" in a detached way. Sometimes courage or effort matters more than new ideas.

Imo harder to be the thing without identifying as the thing! Keep identity flexible, not small, i think generally, tho it is probably more difficult, and small is a place to start...

If somebody's defining characteristic is that they are smart, it means they lack better characteristics, like a friend, or an org leader. eg. X person is a leader and they do a,b c, and they are also smart. eg: yes they are smart, but its not mentioned first.
