"Capability to achieve goals" is not synonymous with intelligence.

  I find it difficult to imagine an intelligent person who finds it hard to get what they want. The trope of the oblivious genius who is incredibly competent in a single field of inquiry but completely unable to handle day-to-day life is more a creation of media than how reality works.

    Intelligent people don't deal in tropes.

      Indeed.
