i don't think psychic ability is intelligence per se, its just another opened doorway in the brain.
but the octopus is aware of his surroundings and if extra-sensory perception exists (which is likely) he would qualify as a psychic cephalopod.
you must admit that the odds of one octopus making 8 accurate "guesses" in a row is pretty incredible.
