Hate it when people think this means they are clever. It just means they have a logical thinking brain.

He's not even that smart, his 'economics' degree wasn't actually economics but a 2.2 in a faux economics degree at a second rate university.

[Raven]

He missed the decimal point... IQ 16.2... closer to observable results

[King Gizzard]

IQ's count for nothing when you don't have any facial expression whatsoever

People are clearly just jealous that they aren't as clever as people like myself and Anton

Along similar lines to what Aaron said to Anton, with every post you continue to embarrass yourself.

What was it, business management or something? And do you know where he studied?

[pimpslapper]

I can't remember but his real degree was mentioned by Stuart Baggs on Bit on the Side last night or the night before.

Well obviously common sense wasn't factored into it

A 11-year-old girl from UK, who insists she is just like any other girl her age, is actually very different in one respect.

Schoolgirl Victoria Cowie has just been admitted to Mensa after scoring 162 in an IQ test – better than the 160 thought to have been achieved by Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates.

The result puts her in the top 1 per cent of the British population in terms of intelligence.

Cowie has been offered scholarships to four prestigious fee-paying schools

So what's this guy doing on BB ?

[vesavius]

I think Anton's IQ is as 162 as Jem is age is 24.

[psychtracker]

Maybe BB should have him do a test, so we can verify his claim. It'd be kinda of interesting to have em all do a proper IQ test...might cause a bit of tension/competitiveness over the results, as well. It'd be really funny if turns out Alex has a higher IQ than Anton!!

[King Gizzard]

Good idea

Can i ave a kiss?

For ma birrrrrfday!

He also admitted that he hasn't actually been officially tested.

The guy is a laughing stock Anything over 140 falls into 'genius' category. The guy isn't smart enough to even remember what he says a day before.

Wasn't it something to do with environmental 'something'..... whatever it was, Baggs said it effectively as much use as a chocolate teapot (or WTTE)

[Barf_andotherthings]

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.

Agree - I once worked through a book of IQ tests and the more you do the higher your score becomes.

One things for sure he hasn't got a lot of common sense and his social skills need a lot of improvement

Ecology..... I think you are spot on with that.

Agree with all the rest - but I doubt he has much logic either - as it took him a full night of trying to work out how he managed to get as many votes from the housemates.
