Intelligence and academic ability has never been seen as one and the same.

A sign of intelligence is the ability to control ones emotions.
If someone claiming to be a friend say and by worming his way in to some ones life and then cold heartedly murdered a loved one of yours only for their money.
Well I would think one would get emotional as in tears as in being upset, but still being in control of oneself and point to the facts about the total story.

If one did not show any emotion in such a case I would think with such a person that something very wrong with him.

Could one sit there as such with a stiff upper lip, be due to intelligence in that case.
