IQ for each of the 8 housemates

[Achilles]

Ash 139
Chris 136
Pav 128
Ashleigh 127
Winston 127
Christopher 118
Helen 114
Mark 98 :joker:

It was a BB IQ test and not a real IQ test.
(Mark doing a real IQ test as a task would be comedy gold :hehe:)

mark faked his test to look dumb

He didn't need to fake it to make him look dumb...

A Big Brother IQ test should be taken with a pinch of salt. Think of it as playing a video game on easy difficulty :hehe:

[Shaun]

2 big brother housemates above 95% of the population? This test was totally legit!

[*mazedsalv**]

To be fair, 98 is not bad at all, isn't average between 95-109? I have an IQ of 121 last I checked. High IQ for Ash doesn't surprise me really. Winston with a higher IQ than me!

[Calderyon]

You forgot Pav´s.

Exactly. And an IQ of anywhere between 90 and 110 is perfectly normal so you can't call Mark dumb even if it was legit.

And clearly people don't realise how high 120 is, never mind top 2 percent.

There are "IQ tests" and then there are IQ TESTS.

You forgot Pav´s.

he is easy to forget :p

[Spoon]

Ash, the highest? :joker:

Lol no bye.

Anyone who takes these IQ scores seriously is... Thick.

A 98 IQ doesn't mean stupid - it means average.

[Daffodil]

I do hope Chris is made aware that Ash has a higher IQ than him. It might wipe away that innate 'better than thou' air that Chris has about him.

[joeysteele]

All I will say is well done Ash.

[Sophiee]

ash getting the highest? :umm2: surprised it wasn't christopher or chris.

[Will.]

If its a BB test, the questions will be like what does DR ... work as? Or what day is it today, It just shows Ash isn't dumb but has a moderate brain, not that he is intelligent.

[CaudleHalbard]

All depends on what IQ scale has been used. If it is the Wechsler scale Ash would easily qualify for membership of Mensa (top 2%). If Cattell III he wouldn't but is still in the top 5% of the population.

It was a big brother IQ test would that get him in Mensa?

It was not an IQ test, it was a BB intelligence test, and like everything else in this series, there is no reason to believe that it has not been manipulated to suit their own agenda

For it to be a valid measure of intelligence, they would have to have put their tests up for scrutiny and evaluation, haven't heard anyone on BB's side saying that this was done.

[karezza]

Ash's IQ is very high.

A score of 139 is quite abnormally high. Going by the standard Gaussian Bell Curve for a standardized IQ test, his IQ is well within the top 0.5% of society.

[Kazanne]

Ash is obviously far more than eye candy,:cheer2:

[Jamesy]

Yeah, these are obviously not 'proper' IQ scores. Clearly they've done a simpler test that doesn't test your brain as much.

[Redway]

Exactly... legit IQ tests are organised by Mensa and you have to do them in a supervised environment. The only people who are thick are the ones who believe this is real.

[VirtualWaster]

Ash doesn't suprise me, he is said to be boring but he learnt quickly best to keep your mouth shut.

[tanussa]

Ash is obviously far more than eye candy,:cheer2:

I agree, if u hear him chat sometimes on a serious level u can tell he is well educated, that poem he wrote in the girl power week was really well put together, but no one praised him for it

[Kizzy]

Lets do the BBC one,
