Thanks for the source, I'm slowly making my way through it.
Yeah I like to include the academic article along with a summary if possible. That way we can get a good mix of perceptions. The error bars on Figure 4's bottom right graph was interesting,...

The error bars on Figure 4's bottom right graph was interesting, particularly the large error bars:
In addition, the subgroups generally agreed on the direction of the stereotypes in recent years. Figure 4 shows the predictions of simple regression models for the stereotypes in the year 2018 (see also Figure S3 in the online supplemental materials for the stereotype means averaged across poll years). In general, gender stereotypes for communion, agency, and competence were widely shared, given that none of the confidence intervals crossed 50% for any subgroup. The percentages for intelligence ratings were less precise (note the wider CIs) and sometimes did not differ significantly from 50%, although point estimates always exceeded 50%. Notable are the consistently extreme percentages of respondents in all subgroups indicating that women are the more communal sex.
I think there's really no avoiding it because the very idea of "intelligence" is ephemeral. Stop for a second and think about a few people you view as very intelligent. I don't know about you, but...

Stop for a second and think about a few people you view as very intelligent. I don't know about you, but I personally find exceptionally creative people as intelligent, because I myself am not exceptionally creative. I'm also more likely to view someone as intelligent when they possess a skill set that I do not, or that I found difficult to master. Neither of these traits necessarily make someone intelligent (although we could get into an entire discussion about just what "intelligence" is), but they do make someone appear to be intelligent to me.
