Firstly if you are not interested in this submission, please blank it and that saves you the trouble of wasting your time retorting with daft innuendos.

Any psychologist will tell you that intelligence is measured in ways that follow the premise of information and data gained in life being logged in the brain and used by means of problem solving and social interaction.

That being said, what it means is that all the things you see, feel, hear and touch, find themselves being logged in the brain and stored for future usage. The only difference between an intelligent person and someone not so intelligent is the amount of data recorded or indeed the way the brain works to recall that data for usage.

Let me explain........If you take an intelligent person and one no so intelligent and place 20 items on a tray and ask them both to remember them over 30 seconds, then relate them back when the tray is covered, the intelligent person will recall maybe 3 or 4 more than the thicko. This comes down to the recall side of the brain and its been proved many times that an active recall type of brain belongs to people that are more intelligent than brains that cant recall so easily. There are reasons for this but I wont go into that just now.

In saying all that.......Joey thrashed the Irish warbler in the recall test and with considerable ease, indicating he is more intelligent than he pretends. He is so intelligent, he has invented words and phrases that he has made his own and as a street wise kid he has forged a living for himself with very little effort. His life and persona has been designed to influence people into thinking he is thick but in reality he is not, he is actually very clever and calculated.

Things like not being able to tell the time, not being able to blow his nose and his constant reference to being thick are an act and although he isn't going to do the times crossword in 5 mins, he isn't as daft as he pretends and has most of the GBP believing his act. He has even gone to the lengths of telling people that he has the IQ of a 12 yr old when in reality he is actually pretty bright and has an army of people behind him designing words, phrases, actions and stories to perpetuate his persona. His biggest guide and manager is his father who is as sharp as a knife and has made loads out of managing his sons future.

People like Jordan, Joey, Flanigan and now the latest faker on the block Amy, use their social skills to con the public and tug at the heart strings to gain notoriety and loads of people swallow their acts hook line and sinker.

I have a registered IQ of 147 and hold a masters degree, but at times on here I act thick to get a reaction and if I wanted to I could act a daft as Joey but choose to emulate my hero Victor Meldrew instead as it suits my persona better.
