Why are we argueing about this? They are both intelligent and Eobard is, according to himself, a genius from like one hundred and fifty years from now. While I don't generally trust villains Eobard seems to be a smart guy, smart enough to help in turning a Tachyon absorbtion unit into a device to separate and merge the FIRESTORM entity.

Eobard also moved up the Particle Accelerator explosion to line up roughly with Earth Two's while it should of been about 7 or so years from when it would of happened.

The timeline differences between the separate Earths seems a bit wonky and apparently E-2's STAR Labs was made far earlier but the Particle Accelator being built and then exploding seemed to still happened after roughly the same amount of time.

If speeding up the research of that thing by about 6 years doesn't say he is intelligent I cannot help you out. Harrison 2 is probably equal to Harrison 1 in intelligence considering they are the same individual that seem to, from what we saw of Harrison 1, have only personality differences.

If Eobard wasn't an intelligent person then people would of noticed when he impersonated Harrison... if a genius went from being a genius to being as stupid as you think he is it wouldn't be a secret for long, especially with how in the eye of the public he still was.
