We say "no es inteligente, pero es vivo", that is, smart enough to make his/her intelligence to work for him/her, what may include some ability to take advantage of any circumstance. If intelligence is the ability to perform complex reasonings and manage a huge bunch of information,
un vivo hasn't a great deal. But, if intelligence is the ability to quickly adapt to the environment -social, natural, technological-
un vivo is very intelligent.
