It sounds like he wants you to feel inferior. The funny thing about people who brag about themselves all the time is, they usually tend to have some sort of inferiority complex. Why else would they need to brag about it and look down at other people? If your brother was confident of his 'superior intelligence', he wouldn't feel the need to advertise it. He would feel its self apparent. And I hope this doesn't sound too harsh, but that nonsense about only getting a job that uses his brain, that just sounds ridiculously conceited if you ask me. I'd like to only take a job that uses my artistic ability, but a girl's got to eat. So don't let it make you feel bad, he obviously has some serious hang ups. Next time he smirks at you, think about how ridiculous he is and smirk back.
