There's two people for me, I think one of them is much smarter in raw intelligence, and the other guy is very easily underestimated mostly because he's just about the most redneck motherfucker I've ever met in my life. And I've met plenty.
The guy I typically say is the most intelligent is also one of the biggest dumbasses I've ever met. He could pick up completely new concepts faster than anyone I've ever seen, figure out solutions to problems no one else had identified as a problem yet, could speak to anyone's level and explain difficult subjects in simple terms, but he could only ever show up to work on time or show up sober but never both and got caught using the company fuel card for his personal vehicle more than once. He also accidentally facetimed his wife in the middle of getting blowjob at a hotel from a lot lizard.
The other guy is not like the first one, what sets him apart in my mind is that he can look at just about any mechanical or hydraulic system for a couple of minutes and completely comprehend it, and can answer pretty complex math and logic problems off the top of his head. He can talk to someone for about five minutes and get invited on fishing trips, hunting trips, weddings, or offered jobs, and he's one of the hardest workers I've ever met.
