1) Develop courage: You might be wondering what does courage has to do with intelligence but in fact that they are strongly correlated. Lack of courage forces people to engage into self deception and the development of false beliefs. If Instead of believing that he is responsible for his life a person believed that he is unlucky he will live a misrable life. such a perception problem never changes before a person develops real courage
2) Be in charge of your emotions: I have seen many so called brilliant people doing the stupidest things ever just because they were under the influence of certain emotions. Even if you were Einstein you wont be able to use any of your brain power once emotions take control of you. (see How to be emotionally intelligent)
3) Learn to resist peer pressure: I have seen college professor, ministers and popular celebrities doing stupid things just because they were following a certain group of people. under the effect of peer pressure people start to follow the crowd even if they weren't sure what's the right thing to do and as a result you find many intelligent people doing really dumb things (see 5 reasons you should never follow the crowd)
4) Understand that human perception changes: Human perception of others and events is not constant but it changes recording to tens of factors. Without educating yourself about these factors you might fall trap to one of the popular perception mistakes people make. For example, many so called intelligent people lack self confidence because they mistakenly interpert the actions of others. In other words when you don't account for perception mistakes you can see the world from a totally different angle that ruins your life (see also How perceptiopn affects the behaviour)
5) Don't get easily aroused: I see thousands of people spreading images, videos and news online without being sure of its source. After those people do so they get so emotional and start attacking others. Based on these posts more less intelligent people start getting emotional and no one of them is even 50% sure what's going on. In order to be intelligent you need to be wise, calm and not easily aroused
