Your point is excellent but having this will actually promote your low self esteem thus actually making you believe you are humiliated. Even though humility is a part of life, it can’t be tolerated all the time. Plus, simply asking them how stuff works shows them that you care and are eager to learn, not stupid and worthless.

A specific situation in which you are required to impress with your intellect, or superiority. I don’t want to waste the interviewers time by assuming I’m the dumbest and spending most of the time asking questions. How would I approach this?

Respectfully. :) You are teaching to be humble. I have a stirring feeling lately that humility is the secret to the Universe. And a great way to learn is to listen. Even to arrogant asses… :)

He said something like, “Be quick to listen and slow to speak.”

Something like that.
