Joe Goldberg intelligence revision

I think Joe should be Gifted instead of Above Average;

Intelligence: Gifted (Joe is skilled at manipulating people and situations to achieve his goals, he can read people well and knows how to exploit their vulnerabilities. He is proficient in gathering information about his targets, he often uses social media and other means to learn about their habits, interests, and relationships. Is meticulous in planning and executing his actions, he takes careful steps to cover his tracks and avoid detection, especially when engaging in illicit or criminal activities. Can adapt to changing circumstances quickly, whether it's adjusting his plans or responding to unexpected challenges, he shows a level of adaptability and resourcefulness. As a bookstore manager, Joe has a deep knowledge of literature, he often references books and authors in his internal monologues, showcasing his intellectual depth. Joe is technologically savvy and uses various digital tools to gather information and stalk his targets, his ability to navigate and exploit technology is part of what makes him a formidable adversary. Can blend into different social environments seamlessly, whether it's posing as a charming bookstore manager or adopting a new identity to fit into a particular social circle, he demonstrates a skill for assimilating into different contexts. Shows a degree of forensic awareness, taking care to clean up crime scenes and dispose of evidence, his understanding of forensic principles contributes to his ability to avoid detection by law enforcement. One of Joe's significant traits is his ability to maintain a charming and affable facade, he often appears as a likable and trustworthy person, which helps him gain the trust of those around him. Engages in long-term planning, particularly when it comes to pursuing romantic interests, his actions often involve meticulous planning to establish relationships, eliminate threats, or control situations over an extended period; perfectly made plans to fake his death in a few minutes. Is adept at rationalizing his actions in his own mind, he often justifies his morally questionable behavior through internal monologues, demonstrating a level of cognitive dissonance)
 
Makes sense, though the last line about cognitive dissonance doesn't seem to be an intelligence feat, but rather a """normal""" psychological process.
 
Gifted: Characters who demonstrate high reasoning ability, can master difficult concepts with few repetitions, and display high performance capability or notable mastery in intellectual or specific academic fields, which makes them equivalent to real-world experts in these areas.

I suppose it makes sense.
