This seemed weird to me at first read but after some thought ... My intelligence takes the form of what I like to call "clever". I'm quick to figure things out and it's served me well in my career. I've worked with many people who were, in most ways, smarter than me, or as I like to call it "smart". But it takes them longer to come up with a solution or to figure things out. Very often, their solutions are better. I think if you are in the second category of "smart", this definitely could be an optimal strategy for not spending lots of time on things that don't matter. Personally, I'm not spending much time on these kinds of things in the first place.
