This is true in terms of the categories measured in IQ.

I would say intelligence also encompasses the ability to think for yourself, or think outside the box however. I have met some individuals that were 'smarter' than me, with IQs of 160+, that believe some very stupid things.

IQ measures a very specific type of information processing, it doesn't prevent people from committing logical fallacies, being brainwashed by illogical ideologies, or having stupid beliefs.

And male puberty destroys and ravages the verbal and logical so it can devote you entirely to boring spatial intelligence. And it seems to be against fun in itself because it also somehow manages to make you worse at drawing, even though it should help.

There are more than 10 categories of "intelligence". Two subcategories don't fit into your "broad" picture.
