I dont really try to quantify the intelligence of the person I reply to usually. Nor do I care.

Good question, lentus. Also consider the old Chicago trade/invest saying '' the smarter you are, the longer it takes'' LOL. Books are helpful. Ads for seminars+ stuff could work for part of your answer; WSJ + IBD runs those ads from time to time.
on the other hand, if your pessimism were true.... real estate, the most powerful millionaire making machine, does only require +-*/, and some sweat.....
My neighbor made $5 or $6 million in ten years. He didn't break any sweat.
He bought a house around my area in New York City for cheap less than a million dollar ten years ago. Now that house worth probably $6 to $7 million, because a lot of wealth people from France, celebrities and techies are moving in bidden up the area. His house goes up in value exponentially. He could choose to sell his house now and retire very comfortably, but he chooses to work. He is still in his forties'.
Mate, please stop digging a hole, ET is a goldmine of information.
You really are not only insulting Baron but numerous fine people who contribute.
You remind me of a handful of posters on ET who come on this site but read only their own posts and threads.
His post was the 113th.
Those that hang out on forums where they trash talk the 90% clearly have some emotional issues - it really says a lot about that person since they are projecting their own internal negative feelings about themselves.
Smarter people get a lot of their knowledge from reading books, expecting to have some 'high I.Q." person spoon feed you their knowledge on a forum is lazy & unrealistic.
Luck: The most successful people, that have some humility, will tell you that luck played a role in their success. James Simons is probably the most cerebral of the trading icons, in his interviews he really harps on his good luck.
