there could be lots of things:-
Scorpio Asc, pluto first house
Scorpio ruling 5th & 7th.Scorpio in 5th & 7th
pluto in 7th and/or 5th and in synastry pluto aspecting anothers personal planets ie: sun, moon, mercury, venus, mars.

Pluto is ALL about control, power, manipulations, emotional blackmail whether overtly or subvertly...

high sex drives are down to venus/mars/pluto

mercury conj moon, can have sleep problems be good at communincating emotions but add indecisiveness being in house of libra
Mercury square uranus make for a very quick mind and speech, but not necessarily intelligence. maybe good at maths and science, but would also add argumentativeness.

for intelligence mercury easy aspect to pluto. If hard aspect it develops control, power issues and can sometimes deteriorate into verbal lacerations and acid tongue

Virgo is very intelligence, but worries and nit picks wherever it sees imperfections.

I would agree with this. I have a lot of these placements and I attract/am attracted to powerful/intelligent men (and they usually end up having high sex drives).

I think the tendency to be argumentative might depend on where the mercury actually falls? I dislike conflict, it stresses me out alot! Like I physically get affected.
I thought being argumentative was more mercury square mars?

Education credentials are boring but I have my inordinate share, with three graduate degrees. I was captain and anchor of my college debate team and all-Ivy League team. I was also Phi Beta Kappa and a Fulbright Scholar in graduate school, as well as a Fellow at the United Nations. In business school, I made Beta Gamma Sigma. No, these are not party fratenities lol

In terms of Power, I don't know whether you are referring to career power, money power, popularity/politicsl power or power as in physical/mental dominance. I do have a strong domineering personality that I throttle back unless I'm at work and butts need to be kicked. Otherwise, I make a concerted effort not to exercise power.

Mercury conjunct Mars
Mercury and Mars in conjunction increases your mental energies and produces a very sharp mind. You are mentally aggressive and have a tendency to become more partisan and decisive in your views. You are less apt to waste time making decisions, and you are quick to act on your ideas. You love the competition of debate because it allows you to prove your intellectual superiority. Always being so sure you are right, you sometimes make premature judgments and decisions. Your sharp mind often jumps ahead in conversations and you have a tendency to interrupt others when they are speaking, and this can be annoying at times. With this placement you need to concentrate on slowing down your racing mental reactions and get all the facts before responding.

Mercury sextile Neptune
The sextile of Mercury and Neptune gives intuitive insight and a fertile imagination. You are creative in writing and you may have more than a passing interest in photography, magic or illusion. You are thoughtful and contemplative, usually having schemes planned well ahead of schedule. You know not to accept ideas at face value, and you check every matter out in fine detail. You have an insatiable curiosity.

MARS trine PLUTO
A trine between Mars and Pluto shows that the assertiveness in your nature is well aligned with your dedication to causes. You can be effective in solving problems in society because you have a deep understanding of those problems and their origins. Services are offered out of spiritual convictions. To you, romantic connections have deep meaning and interest. You display a caring nature that extends in several directions to transform those you contact, socially and emotionally.

aspects are only 1/3 of natal charts. Planets in signs and planets in houses tell the better/full story..

So in other words, something like a student body president, with more brains.

I've dated smart guys, but sometimes they're pretty...boring. The reason I fell in love with one of my exes was that he had the wit and the brains, the ambition, the 'vision' and the sparkle lol.

Gotta have that sparkle!

The reason is because i'm myself unimpressed with education. Telling me that a person is a physician honestly doesn't tell me a whole lot about a person's intelligence. I've also met lawyers that are xenophobic and poorly traveled, or cannot speak intelligently on global issues. I find that extremely unintelligent despite a whatever law school degree.

A penniless man with a vision and hard work who becomes wealthy is certainly very attractive. Book smarts is terribly overrated. One needs IQ and EQ to be brilliant imo.

Essentially 'worldliness' is what I'm looking for. A sophisticated guy is very appealing.
That's why I can't understand how some people can place so much emphasis on looks. Sure looks matter TO AN EXTENT (gotta be well presented and not unkempt) but to overlook more important attributes in favour of something so fleeting is quite silly imo.

i kinda can't stand stupid taste tho. i know it's funny and cute at the beginning but after awhile i feel dumb by association.

hey i was student body president LOLOL! but i think i just got the cool vote.

I've never talked to a Fulbright scholar before.

I know this question about intelligence wasn't directed at me, but I hope no one minds if I chime in with my own ideas? Because I like thinking about this.

I think it's impossible to give an objective, all-encompassing definition of intelligence, because the mind manifests itself so many interesting ways. Right?

But for romantic purposes, I think intuitive awareness coupled with the ability to communicate intelligently would be paramount.

Maybe the highest form of intelligence involves the ability to hypnotize yourself so you don't feel pain...but that's a personal attribute, not necessarily social.

Apart from impressing your date by setting your hand on fire and not flinching, that won't get you too far. I don't think so anyway.

Actually when I was single I would have gone for a guy like that in a heartbeat.

Well I can't top you with that. I did make out with a guy from Yale once- he wasn't too impressed with me because whenever I came up for air I said something like, "1580 on your SAT's?! I'm soooo in love!"
