Being intelligent isn't measured by how booksmart someone is. Really it is the ablity for someone to be able to solve problems. Someone who knows how to fix cars is intelligent in their work field. Common sence also comes into play because that is the ablity to solve everyday problems with hardly any effort. But how can you tell if someone is intelligent? Well really you can't say someone is intelligent without knowing what decisions they have made because if they make intelligent decisions then they are intelligent. With that said whether we like it or not lots of people who we don't like are/were intelligent. Like Hitler for example, he made intelligent decisions which got him to become the German ruler, but he also made unintelligent toward the end of the war which cost him his rule. It's all a matter of perspective but overall just because someone can't figure out an advanced trig problem doesn't mean that they can't figure out how to make a car go.
