Intelligent means a person is 'all around' smart -- "she's a very intelligent person."
Brilliant is used more to describe someone who is talented in one particular area -- "he's a brilliant scientist."
In England they seem to use the word 'brilliant' the way we (the USA) use 'wonderful.' "Oh that's brilliant!" is the same as "Oh that's wonderful!"

Intelligent is looking at a wall socket and knowing it's 110 volts AC current. Brilliant is what YOU'LL look like, if you straighten out a paper clip and stick it each opening.

Brilliant is the same, except more. There are no specific standards.
