Mechanically speaking being clever and thinking through your plans has nothing to do with IQ. The effects of high IQ are

1. A great ability to notice things
2. Being good at book-larning and art
3. Being highly resistant to certain kinds of supernatural influence
4. Being both persuasive and hard to persuade.

"Not being a fool led by his dick" is not something that IQ gives you.
