I think I need some more clarification about what you are saying and I hope you can help me.
I see the list of words that you say could be used in place of or in exchange of intelligent and I don't see them as interchangeable with intelligence. Knowledgeable maybe, but I don't know of a situation where I would call someone intelligent when I meant they were creative.
Also I don't think that intelligent is a vague word or even that subjective.
Are there situations where you think it wouldn't be ableist to call someone intelligent?
