IQ tests used to be done at age 11 when the test actually measured intelligence, not life experience.

In any case if you told John James that he was going to have an I.Q test his answer would be "What does that mean?"

Shame he is shamelessly ignorant and uneducated. All of that intelligence is spent on manipulating people and playing mindgames.

If someone got 63 it can't be a very accurate or rigorous test. Either that or he didn't try very hard.

RLMAO. You really know absolutely nothing about IQ tests.

Tip, if you're going to post BS lying posts at least check that you know what you're lying about.

The irony of your OP is no doubt lost on you. LOL.

I expect Mario thought it was an Ikea test and answered most of the questions in Swedish

IQ is a measure of intelligence, not knowledge.
Anyone can acquire knowledge, but it's knowing how to apply it that denotes intelligence.
I believe Andrew has an IQ of 133 so the above scores are highly suspect. Maths may be a specialised subject in many ways, but it is also the one subject that is utilised in many areas of brain function and is a good measure of overall intelligence. In any event "Perth FM" is hardly the authority on intelligence quotients, and where would they have got them from anyway?

You're obviously lying.

Any contestant on BB would have to give WRITTEN INFORMED CONSENT to participate. That requires that they are able to give informed consent. Anyone with an IQ of 63 would not be considered capable of giving informed consent. In fact a recent High Court ruling went against the BBC when they tried to use a women for a documentary who had an IQ of 63, as the High Court judge ruled the woman could NOT have given her consent to participate in the show.

Any one who saw John James asking the most inane questions during the first couple of weeks (things that even a 15 year old schoolboy would know) will wonder at his score of 125.

Surprised Mario is so low but actually not too surprised John James came out on top - he is a lot smarter than he gets credit for.

I doubt this is true, but Mario does come across as pretty thick sometimes, like when he said it was easily possible that dinosaurs still walked the planet

Doesnt seem like the sort of station that would have exclusive access to UK Big Brother housemate's IQ
