Sure, but I think it's also easy to conflate success and talent with intelligence. I think many successful scientist are not particularly smart, but rather dilligent and educated; most innovation is not a leap, but a steady incremental progress which may accumulate in a "innovative" product at some point.

I don't know much about Jobs, that's why I asked. From what I got, he was rather a charismatic leader with a good intuition, but I wouldn't call those attributes intelligence per se. Is there any evidence for a particular intelligence of his?

What exactly do you consider an evidence of intelligence?

    Idk. But surely, you can't make your point without it, do you? I think success and fame is not an appropriate proxy.

      So what is? If the visionary genius of Steve Jobs doesn't qualify for intelligence, what does?
