Intellect and intelligent are generally used to describe someone who in competent in analytical and logical thought processes or disciplines. There is enough range though that the common usage of the words doesn't really have a well defined meaning. Generally I think it represents aptitude at something. Whenever someone is good at a task, especially one that requires thought, they are assumed to be intelligent.
Intellect is something people have and use and generally means the rational and analytic mind. Again though there is some overlap with other mind functions in common usage.
Maybe I am wrong but at least for me, the words intelligent and intellect are so ineffective at describing the actual depths and breadth of the mind that it becomes grating. Especially when so many people worship the intellect as being all important in our society.
