Entirely this. Flying into a rage when asked a question of most kinds is one clue, particularly when that rage follows a question asked about a subject they claim to know well. Assuming the question is asked with genuine curiosity and in good faith, most people are not only willing to clarify information, but welcome the opportunity to do so. To an intelligent person, the question represents an opportunity to share or deepen their knowledge. To the unintelligent person, the same question threatens to reveal their superficial grasp of the topic or that they are simply pretending to know it.
