Celebrities & Famous People With Low IQ

Here Are The Celebrities and Famous People W/ Low IQ

CELEBRITIES – Here is a list of famous people who are reportedly below average in IQ. These people come from the world of fame.

Given the extensive coverage of trivial statements made by celebrities, one might be inclined to believe that our role models lack intellectual prowess. (For example, Britney Spears once said, “I’ve never really wanted to go to Japan. Simply because I don’t like eating fish. And I know that’s very popular out there in Africa.”

However, consider the perspective of engaging in frequent conversations with people eagerly anticipating a slip-up, just to use it for negative attention, generating clicks. One moment you might experience a fleeting lapse in geography knowledge, and the next, you’re the latest fool of the internet, a global subject of mockery.

The internet is filled with contrived celebrity IQ ratings, highlighting a simple reality: IQ tests are voluntary, and those with lower scores are unlikely to publicize them. Some celebrities who might appear lacking in intelligence actually surprise us with remarkably high IQ results.

For instance, Arnold Schwarzenegger reportedly holds a score of 135, Madonna achieves an exceptional level of 140, and Quentin Tarantino excels with a score of 160, the same as Einstein.

Tom Cruise’s IQ is cited at 94 according to specific sources, while David Hasselhof’s purported IQ is 73, and John F. Kennedy’s is said to be 60. Various websites confidently present these numbers. (An IQ of 60 indicates ‘mild mental disability’.) However, JFK’s actual IQ score was 119, placing him above the average range. This leads to the question: What is the origin of these scores? Why would numerous celebrities undergo IQ tests and subsequently disclose these discouraging results?

Outward appearances can often be deceptive. As an example, Jayne Mansfield, a celebrated Hollywood beauty, possessed an impressive IQ score of 149, indicating a brilliant intellect.

Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol’s alleged IQ of 86, as stated by the internet, contrasts with his actual achievements. Despite cultivating an intentionally superficial image, he not only completed college but also gained substantial wealth and fame through art that subtly mocked the wealthy elite who purchased it—a clever strategy. His famous quote, “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes,” reveals a depth of insight inconsistent with an IQ of 86, suggesting potential inaccuracies in the reporting.

Muhammad Ali

Though commonly depicted with a remarkably low IQ of 78, implying proximity to mental impairment, a closer examination reveals more intricate considerations. This score was obtained during his military service examination for the Vietnam War, a cause he strongly opposed. Could Ali have strategically approached the test? This seems plausible. Additionally, the IQ test has faced criticism for cultural bias, possibly disadvantaging non-white groups. When evaluating Ali’s quick thinking, inventive wordplay, and memorable expressions (“I’m so mean I make medicine sick”), he defies the characteristics of a simpleton.

Various US Presidents

Doubting the intellectual capacities of US Presidents has a long history, but in 2001, a widely circulated hoax took this to a new level. The then-President, George W. Bush, was alleged to possess a woeful IQ of 91, while his predecessor, Bill Clinton, was credited with an extraordinary IQ of 182.

Although George W. Bush was known for less-than-wise statements (“I’ve learned that the best way to lift one’s spirits is to raise someone else’s”), an IQ of 91 seemed unduly low. A subsequent study actually ascribed him a respectable IQ of 125. (Bill Clinton’s IQ was also revised downward to 137, placing him three points below his wife Hillary, who came close to the Presidency.)

Claims that Donald Trump possessed a genius-level IQ of 156 were fake.

Kim Kardashian

“North [the name of her first-born] has a better direction. I don’t think we’ll go with another direction. I think South is so stupid. It’s the stupidest thing ever.”

“Stretchmarks are my biggest fear of life.”

“I hate it when women wear the wrong foundation color. It might be the worst thing on the planet when they wear their makeup too light.”

Kim Kardashian’s IQ remains undisclosed. There exists a chance that she might be highly intelligent beneath her seemingly frivolous persona. Hopefully, this assumption is false, as it would be disconcerting. Interestingly, some research suggests that the heightened omega-3 levels necessary to maintain her remarkable physique could potentially enhance cognitive function. This once again underscores the notion that we could be witnessing the decline of Western civilization.

Nobel Prize-winning physicist clearly an idiot

If you believe that only superficial celebrities lack smarts, consider the case of Richard Feynman, an American theoretical physicist. His IQ test as a young child yielded an average score of 125. Despite this, he gained immense renown as one of the most brilliant and influential figures in his field. He revolutionized quantum electrodynamics and clinched the Nobel Prize in 1965, all while playfully acknowledging his modest IQ.

The underlying point: IQ scores should be approached with skepticism, and online articles about IQs should be viewed with significant uncertainty. To unquestionably trust in them would imply having an IQ below 90.
