There's a few talents like that, though Disguise is probably the most spectacular. Should Woodsman be higher IQ than Naturalist? Master Bard. Stealth. Conversely, should Lawyer be IQ 8?

IQ has multiple meanings in TFT: the abstract reasoning of Mathematician, the information retention of Master Physicker, the perception of Detect Lies, the whatever-it-is of Unarmed Combat V (information retention? strength of will?). Most high-IQ talents can be justified in terms of one of these.
