I remember something about 'ecology with ...' being his degree. He got a 2.2, which in the context of today with grade inflation (yes it is happening at degree level) is pretty crap, although he could still be intelligent, just incredibly lazy and/or disorganised.

If he hasn't been officially tested, this i.q. score he's plucked from wherever is meaningless. He probably tested himself on the internet, and we all know these tests are b.s. They give you an inflated score to make you feel good about yourself, and even if they don't, they are not reliable, standardised, not done under test conditions etc.
I have done a few internet i.q tests, will results ranging from 70 *cough* to 160. ridiculous. i am neither an idiot, nor a genius, but if i wanted to big myself up i could point people at some silly test i did on a dull evening.

Aside from this, i.q scores (verified ones) are indeed meaningless. You can have an high i.q. and still be a different kind of idiot. It just means you are logical, and good at doing i.q tests. nothing more.
