Considering the individual (Alka Zolka) who actually translates the stone and helps the Player Character unlock the secrets of Scholar wisdom is one of said meatshield axe-wielding types, I would say yes, it is possible. I believe that's more of a character-by-character basis though. Do you think your character is intelligent enough to decipher the stone by themselves? Or would they need a little expert help? (I know mine would need a LOT of expert help. She's not too bright with magical thingies.)
I do not think simply holding the soulstone will make you smart. In the case of most job quests, the Job NPC is doing a lot of work reading your soulstone for you while you're off gallivanting or smacking things in the face. Lazy Player Character making NPCs do all the real work...
