Overthinking issues that are really very simple
Counter-signallign as a smart-person mistake
Valuing intelligence above all other qualities
Rigidly adhering to rules -- compare the two endings of "Three Worlds Collide" and the decision by which they diverge.
Expecting other people to always be rational
Got nothing for the last two. I don't think the last one is a mistake that very many people at all make. (I think being right about things has surprising benefits well past the point that most people can see it having benefits).
Other smart person mistake covering posts that spring to mind: http://lesswrong.com/lw/dxr/epiphany_addiction/ http://lesswrong.com/lw/j8/the_crackpot_offer/
And a lot of the general mistakes that LessWrong warns against are just person mistakes, rather than smart person or normal person mistakes. [edit: grammar]
Adding to this:
Directly pointing out people's flaws
I also don't see the problem with valuing being right highly. I can see the problem with letting people know that you are right too much.
