He's been described as a genius who thinks he's brighter than his peers and studied Psychology , so yes, you'd think so
It will take a while, but hopefully if/when we get some fuller detail of his post-crime behaviour we'll get a better picture of just how devious he is. Or whether he's really not very smart.
It struck me that the neighbour who complained about his noise ( cleaning & vacuuming noises 1-2am ) might have been hearing him attempt to do a thorough clean of his apartment. She said the late night noises stopped 3 weeks ago.
However, considering that he's left DNA at the crime scene, is it really likely that he's managed to scrub every trace of digital evidence from, eg. the hard drive which was just taken out of his apartment? From his office laptops, his phone? From the car? Did he cover those modules when he was at DeSales University?
Did he purchase forensic supplies from a commercial, online supplier for physical clean-up of the car and do a professional job?
My hunch is no, he's not actually very smart but likes to perform an appearance of being smart.

"He's really, really intelligent. A bright kid . . . someone who stood out even in honors and high-level classes,"

quotes from this link:
A friend of the suspect arrested in connection with the Idaho quadruple murder told Fox News Digital that the Bryan Christopher Kohlberger she knew was a genius who was interested in what makes "humans tick" but had trouble relating to other peers.
