Why or why not?
There are many documented sources of the nature intelligence and creativity. You can look into Howard Gardner's work on Multiple Intelligences or Daniel Sternberg's book, "The Handbook of Creativity" which has many studies documenting the correlation between intelligence and creative thought. When you ask about "thinking process" I'm not sure what you mean. It sounds like you are asking, "To what degree can intelligence be measured by one's capacity for creativity?" and that has been in debate for decades. I would look it up on wikipedia and see who the current scientists are in the field. Also, Daniel Siegel has done some excellent work ("The Mindful Brain") on the nature of thought process itself if you are interested in consciousness and intelligence. Best of luck to you.

Thinking process, yes, intelligence, no. (Even a severely retarded person can make up an invisible friend and the like.)
