I wouldn't say we are necessarily smarter, but I would say intelligence is one of the things a person into the BDSM scene would aspire to. The same most likely applies to any group of people who's activities involve imaginative thinking on some level so that would go for scientists, artists, writers or anything where what you do needs to be distinctive.
I agree there is a somewhat prescribed aesthetic and behavioural code for the scene. However I've never seen anyone turning up to a BDSM event dressed and acting exactly the same as someone else. Everyone does want to put their own twist on a common interest and that's where you need you're brains.
