* ''Fanfic/OperationExchange'': Unlike canon where she was an orphan [[Really17YearsOld pretending to be older than she is]] and thus has more difficulty with most courses at Eden Academy, [[Manga/SpyXFamily Anya Forger]] [[AdaptationalIntelligence is a brilliant prodigy skilled in science, mathematics, and alchemy]] as a result of being experimented on by [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist the Amestris government and the Homonculi secretly running them]]. Anya ''deliberately'' does bad on tests because she knows if she does well then the Homunculi will find and capture her for her open Gate of Truth.

* In the ''Literature/{{Worm}}''/''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' crossover ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12952969/1/Cazador Cazador]]'', Courier 6 tells Taylor that smart people and stupid people are both predictable in their own way, but the real ones to watch out for are the smart ones who want to get you to ''think'' they're stupid. Naturally, Courier 6 himself is in this boat, though in his case it's more ObfuscatingInsanity.

*In “[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6351946/1/The-Sorcerer-s-Bride The Sorcerer’s Bride]]”, Morgause captures Merlin, Morgana and Gwen with the intent of essentially brainwashing Merlin to be her servant and rule as queen alongside Morgana. Fortunately for Morgana, Morgause underestimates Gwen’s courage and intelligence (as well as failing to understand Morgana's devotion to Camelot), allowing Morgana to send Gwen to get help while dismissing her request that Gwen be released from the dungeons as simply Morgana not wanting to bother breaking in a new servant.

** Adrien plays into the image of being a SpoiledSweet ShelteredAristocrat in order to manipulate others; while there are things he legitimately doesn't understand, it's more a matter of [[LackOfEmpathy lacking empathy]] and simply not ''caring'' about how others think or feel.
** Alya wonders if [[MisplacedKindergartenTeacher Ms. Bustier]] employs this when she notices her slipping off when an argument erupts in class, carrying a bathroom pass-lanyard despite how she doesn't actually ''need'' one as a teacher. The following chapter [[SwitchingPOV reveals Bustier's POV]]; while she claims she ''did'' need to use the restroom, she also expected the fight to be resolved before she got back.
