I've been called multiple times. Each time, I have the choice between perjuring myself or being dismissed. I finally got tired of it and checked the "Yes" box on if I have a physical or mental condition that would prevent me from serving. In the explanation box, I wrote "too intelligent". I've not been bothered since.

Sorry if I sound arrogant, but the fact is that they just don't want overly intelligent people on juries anymore.

“they just don’t want overly intelligent people on juries anymore.”

“They” being defense attorneys for the most part.
