Sakura:

-Instantly created an antidote for Sasori's complex poison.
-Whizzed through med-school in 3 years and became the village's number 2 medical ninja.
-Was the first shinobi to work out how Obito's kamui works as shown here

-Schooled Shikamaru during the Pain arc, shutting him down with sannin-level logic

Shikamaru's "feats" are as follows:

-breaking out of genjutsu in part 1 (something Sakura demonstrated herself just before and during the chunin exam arc)
-figuring out Hidan's ability when it was too late. This guy is meant to have a 200 IQ and he couldn't fathom the significance of the chalk circle Hidan was drawing in blood until his sensei died LOL!
-his "plan" to defend the alliance from a barrage of juubi tbb was for them to spam some fodder z rank mud wall jutsu.

When I weigh the evidence up, I'm starting to understand why Ino copied Sakura during the chunin exam written test rather than Shikamaru.

Hell naw. He shits on her. She had help by chiyo to make those antidotes and tsunade taught her medical ninjutsu of that level. Shikamaru's intelligence is solely his own. Even the way he countered temari's jutsu is a tremendous sign of genius intellect

3-yes agree

That's why I say he's all about hype. He has overall less impressive intellect feats than Sakura. People are just bandwagoners and hate on Sakura.
I think he can only do that in battle. This just shows Sakura is smart, book smart. However Shikamaru's intelligence lies into the battle as he is a strategist.

Shikamaru is strategically smart but laziness gets the better of him. Sakura is book smart. Their both intelligent in their own field and way.

1. Chiyo didn't help with shit. Sakura first saved Kankurou from dying from Sasori's poison, then she made an antidote, both without the help of Chiyo. All that old hoe could do is watch. Read 253 and 254 if you want proof.

2. What, like Shizune? Who had been training under Tsunade for a long ass time, the same Shizune that Sakura surpassed in 3 years?

4. Shikamaru was getting it all wrong and Sakura put him in his place with logic. It's no so much intelligence as it is a sign that Sakura's powers of deduction>Shikamaru's.

5. My point was that Ino knew both Shikamaru and Sakura very well and yet she chose to copy Sakura's answers and not Shikamaru's. What does that tell you?

That's only because Sakura is a main character. Kishi obviously portrayed shikamaru to be one of the most intelligent shinobi around.

Shikamaru is a tactical genius. He's of the same mold as Shikaku and Kakashi.

Sakura is book smart. She's of the same mold as Hiruzen, Tsunade.

There's differences between the two.

Sakura has a different type of intelligence from Shikamaru. She can learn quickly and apply what she knows to a problem (knowledge application), while Shikamaru finds unique solutions to problems (knowledge synthesis.).

People tend to minimize her feats and abilities because Kishi's main focus on her character was her inability to behave rationally toward Sasuke.

3-she corrected him because she heard the old forg speaking while shikamaru didn't
4-closer target son
