Is that but on the side of the head. It can also be tapping on the side of the head.
The Dutch gesture for intelligent is touching the side of the head with the index finger, which can be confused with the second version of the Portuguese one for crazy.
Mind you, I just realized I’m not sure about those things anymore (I lived for over 2 decades abroad) and had to google to make sure.

The temple is on the side of the head I thought :) So you have the same gesture as we do I’d think.
Basically it’s usually aimed at the part of your head where your chewing muscles are.
