Intelligence is one of the 7 S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats in Fallout 76, allocated from 1 to 15 points as you level. Intelligence is a measure of your overall mental acuity, and affects your ability to hack terminals, the condition and durability of items that you craft, and the return you get from scrapping. Each point of Intelligence adds 3% XP gain.

It has 34 Intelligence perks. Every equipped card spends Intelligence points, so the stat caps how many perks you can run at once. The legendary perk Legendary Intelligence raises it beyond your allocation, adding up to 5 Intelligence and 5 Intelligence perk points at its top rank.
