We all differ in our abilities to solve problems, learn, think logically, use language well, understand and acquire concepts, deal with abstractions, integrate ideas, attain goals, and so on.
I think that language is used as a class barrier these days: how well you articulate on paper and in voice is a fair indicator of higher communication skills, and therefore education. This implies healthy self-esteem, confidence, and an overall charisma. These further imply an above level of intelligence or at least, of education. This of course, is not always the case.
My HR looks for these traits in candidate applications, resumes and cover letters. Using chatspeak, slang and ebonics on these is a surefire way to avoid ever getting considered.
