I think each one of the demigods are intelligent, just in different ways. Annabeth reads alot, giving her a crap ton of backround knowledge that she often uses to save everybodies butts. But she is also incredibly resourceful. For example, in MoA, she outsmarted and beat arachne, whom no hero had ever beaten before. Another example is in LT, she used Percy as bait during capture the flag (mean, but very, very effective.) Yes shes book smart, but lots of people are book smart. But most people aren't intelligent enough to use it:)
