There is a difference between raw intelligence and life skills / common sense. In fact some of the most famous intelligent people would look like a complete idiot if you met them doing ordinary day to day tasks. There are some famous examples of their inability to grasp simple skills, I guess because they were to busy thinking about important things to pay much attention to what was going on around them.
