Eric Schwitzgebel specializes in papers about studies about this: http://www.faculty.ucr.edu/~eschwitz/
The citations will probably be helpful for you to find the studies and similar ones.
My favorites:
Why did we think we dreamed in black and white?

How well do we know our own conscious experience? The case of human echolocation.

No. He's just poor at judging intelligence, like everyone else.
If they are polite and don't raise their voice and there are no obvious deficiencies in their vocabulary or pronunciation, and they seem to be minimally informed on current events and trends, you couldn't tell an idiot from a genius. You have no ability to see their thought processes, and you've never really bothered to try to infer them.
Studies even suggest you don't know what's going on in your own brain either. This despite the fact that you are actually privy to at least some of your own thought process.
