His intelligence has saved him a number of times in which his strength would've failed him. Here's a few examples Scott is far more focused in a critical situation than Liam. LI am allows his anger to control him. He tried to kill his own alpha. Scott is much more calm and collected than Laim
 * Scott making Stiles ram his Jeep into Peter's car in order to get him away from Melissa. Even Peter realized that was crafty of him
 * Scott figuring out that Gerard was dying and then poisoning him with mountain ash
 * In the parking garage when he thought that The Alpha was after him, he jumped on all the cars to sound the alarms
 * Tricking Aiden and getting him suspended BC Scott knew he couldn't physically beat him but he did out smart him.
 * Using the frequency jammers to stop the doctors from getting Hayden. Of course this plan didn't work but it was a better option than just rushing them bc they would've gotten their asses kicked again.

Scott clearly has leader-like qualities, how do you think people are always so willing to follow him? He even got Boyd and Isaac to listen to him, two wolves they weren't even in his pack. Scott just have natural leadership skills that everyone seems to see in him

You asked how are they different, the people they decide to trust that is one of many traits that  makes them different, regardless of how it turns out.

How about when Liam attacked Derek for breaking his lacrosse stick? Or Trying to kill Scott? Or when he was going to attack Brett for laughing at him, his hand started bleeding, there's no telling what he would have done if Scott and Stiles didn't stop him.
