I personally prefer to challenge others because I wish to be challenged.

Yeah, surely you're not doing it just to flaunt your cleverness and sophistication.

That would hold up if I reacted adversely to the cleverness and sophistication of others. Which I don't. Thus the attempt to ferret out said qualities.
