maybe it can correspond to different degree of kundalini energy rising through chakras :)
Each chakra call for different kind of perception, from the most material one, to the most spiritual ones :)
Up to supra consciousness, consciousness of consciousness itself, and reaching one ness with the cosmos, samahdi etc :)
gopi krisnha talks about this concept of supra consciousness in his book :)
At fundemental level, intelligence is all about perception.
As above so below ;-)
Yes it does go hand to hand with the chakras . Ive red some of Krishna's work and he was a great man indeed.
Can see it like each kind of intelligence is required to solve different kind problems called by the activity of differents chakras or center of appetite / needs.
As level of consciousness increases, different lack of perfection or requirement surface with it.
Its a bit the paradox of industrial society to hinder intelligence to solve human's emotional or existential / spiritual problem to focus on building material things using only function of the two lower chakras, which leave higher inspiration or emotional balance out of the picture.
