Please, then, by all means give us YOUR proof, other than assumptions you made real yourself with absolutely no concrete base.

An esper could be said to be both insane and smart. Their Personal Reality are distorted, and their brains modified so that "reality" actually became powers. To be a high level esper, one must possess both with ample ammount. As you can see so far, most level 5s aren't exactly sane, but also academically smart. It is directly tied to the brain's calculation ability to manifest esper powers. So yes, you have to be smart to be a high level esper. At least, higher.

The barrier of level 0 and level 1 is mentioned to be the biggest hurdle in the development of esper powers. Some pass with ease and some worked their lives off. Personal Reality also matters. If the person is relatively normal, for example, Uiharu, than the ability she came up with, Thermal hand, isn't all that special and low ranked by nature. then you have Accelerator, all round crazy psychopath, that has an unique ability unrivaled by anyone else.

Every level 0s you mentioned are street smart, not academically smart. There is a difference.

And we haven't even gotten to the Parameter List yet.
