It was a BB IQ test and not a real IQ test.

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.

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? 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,

[Jamesy]

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

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.
