Well, not quite. Intelligence is the measurement of an agent's ability to create predictive models. Stories are not always predictive and as such will not help you survive or predict the future. Math is an example of something that requires intelligence but not stories necessarily. I suppose stories also require some form of creating models, but it is not broad enough of an explanation.
