having the ability to get an infosec job isnt = intelligence. tbh most of the people ive met in the last 5 years who were working corprate infosec / cyber are not particularly skilled or creative just good at filling out reports doing the greyface suit thing.

Absolutely. I'm definitely not saying ability to get an infosec job implies intelligence. But what do you think is implied when someone (with a clean record) is unable to even get jobs like the ones you describe?

And these are the good ones. It is not that infosec hasn't its own snake oil problem.
