Isn't that the same thing? Smart is a synonym for intelligent. Intelligence can be defined as:

\In*tel"li*gent\, a. [L. intelligens, intellegens, -entis, p. pr. of intelligere, intellegere, to perceive; inter between + legere to gather, collect, choose: cf. F. intelligent. See Legend.] 1. Endowed with the faculty of understanding or reason; as, man is an intelligent being.

That's exactly what you said IQ was a measure of.
