Is it surprising that people like that gravitate to a place like this?
No it's not and it's also weird to treat that percentile as if people in it are extremely rare. People who fall in the blue area (noticably higher than average intelligence, but not exceptional) are about 15% of the population. The problem is that people somehow feel attacked if someone claims themself to be clever and it's accepted to shame them for that.
