The distinction is one between competence (smarts) and performance (toughness).
“Measuring” either is a problem in ability and personality testing: find the underlying factors and the combinatorial rules; whether the constructs exist as consistent dimensions shouldn’t be taken for granted.
Some findings will probably surprise you. The cognitive performance of the most able degrades the most under pressure for intellectually demanding tasks.
