Would you rather have intelligence or perpetual happiness?
No, picking intelligence does not mean perpetual depression.
Clarification: Choice 1 states that you will be happy for ever, as a function of who you are and your traits.
Choice 2 states that you will have intelligence, but will have to work for happiness.

the problem with intelligence is that you know what you're capable of, but you know you will never achieve that goal in your lifetime. I would much rather be an idiot and be happy than be intelligent. because in my eyes if you're intelligent then you will never truly be happy. (just my opinion though)
