I'd have to agree mainly with what Relix is saying, I mean this is even the guy's description in his biography "A disciplined young man who feels compelled to find greater strength. He relies on brute force in combat". But we find out in BBS is that he is not as disciplined as this claim. As Relix mentioned, wisdom and knowledge are two different things. He gets mind hustled throughout the entire game, I'd say maybe that Terra is weak minded. But this is not true in his sense of will though, and that is what we have seen him display.
I do think that maybe some sort of sound merging of those two key parts exists:
-Terra relies on his willpower and stubborn strength to accomplish or achieve things, thus he is not eligible to out smart MX.
-He has ME's heart or whatever, we saw him display some hubris in Blank Points, he's had a decade to develop, thus he is eligible to out smart MX.
So while it is evident that what we have seen of this person would likely cause us to think the first, that he is will power and not whits, we could still imagine a scenario in which Terra finally fully comprehends some s*** and turns that knowledge into the long sought after wisdom. I'm thinking of a situation where he stills relies on and uses his sheer will power, but does it so with a clear aim and focus now, which would qualify him as having gained some wisdom in that regard since in BBS his focus and perspective was obviously deluded and ended up costing him. A warrior who is wise would know his/her weaknesses and strengths and would play off of those accordingly.
So it is possible for him to do a mixture of both concepts. He would still be using his will power to accomplish this 'out smarting of MX', like how we have seen him use only strength thus far. But here he would now know how to properly think about the situation after the time being trapped or whatever and also from failing pretty hardcore at what he would usually do/way he'd go about things in the past; the thing that got him into this trouble. So he realizes his attributes and situation and then uses his will power and strength accordingly but with a correct perspective as opposed to his old ways of thinking/doing things. This would and wouldn't be outsmarting MX both at the same time. It would be 'out smarting' him because this is something that MX would not have expected, he would not think that Terra would be able to obtain the wisdom and clear focus that he needed in order to be immune to things like the mind raping sessions. MX doesn't think that the Terra he knew would ever be able to make the lucid decisions/choices that he needed to do in order to avoid his fate. It would not be 'out smarting' him because technically it would not be Terra devising some master plan that out gambits MX's, it would just be him using his will power again but with clear focus instead.
Or Master Eraqus shows him some sort of trick , he says 'I showed Aqua one but since I'm trapped in your heart and you're heart is trapped in Xehanort's I guess I've got some time to show you a thing or two'
