the Scorpion Knight Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 IQ= (Mental Age/Chronological Age)x100so this means LF's IQ is lower han 120 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuisDantas Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Well, that's not what the question was about. It was about IQ, i.e. the ability to solve geometric puzzles, not about character, emotional resilience, integrity, etc. You could as well say that Gregor had the highest IQ, because he was very tall, very strong and fearless.I beg your pardon? Did you understand anything of what I wrote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuisDantas Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 IQ= (Mental Age/Chronological Age)x100In no Particular order:I would have to go with Tyrion, Maester Luwin, Maester Aemon, Varys, The Tattered Prince, Meera, Sam, the Reader, LF, Davos, Roose Bolton, and Old NanFor IQ purposes, chronological age taps somewhere in the teens, doesn't it?

James Arryn Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Some of the suggestions in the OP are a little, ahem, underwhelming, I mean, Rhaegar?Rhaegar might have a case for the top spot. A guy who is excellent at whatever he sets his mind to? That's pretty damned brilliant. In fact I've seen people on here who mitigate his martial skills because he was more intellectual than warrior, as though one negates the other. I don't think that's necessarily true...I just think it's rare to find a warrior who is also an intellectual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Arryn Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Dude seriously? Rhaegar? He and Darkstar, are definitely at the top, am I right?Darkstar? Why him? Hasn't shown anything. Rhaegar wouldn't be my choice for top, but he'd be up there. Applied intelligence translates very well to I.Q. tests...(which aren't my favorite form of testing intelligence anyways)...and Rhaegar's applied intelligence as per the book is pretty much the definition of prodigy/genius.

Davos55 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Howland Reed may be on this list as well, though we don't know enough about him to say yet I suppose.Also, I still am going to have to defend LF as a choice..he is one smart dude. Though I suppose we will have to see what his master stroke and endgame is to really comprehend his true intelligence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Star, is like the mysterious character who gets thrown out as a formidable opponent yet failed to kill an 8 year old girl and is utterly unimpressive based on what we've actually seen of him.

imbs Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 im suprised at the ppl who are playing down littlefinger's intelligence. When i saw this thread i instantly thought of him, and i would probably put him at number 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of his flaws are behavioral, not intellectual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamcatcher Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Rhaegar, Tyrion, Varys, Jon Snow, Maester Aemon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Scorpion Knight Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 he's unable or willing to change his tactics or when to lay it low thats why he's not so high in my list on the other side intelligence and wisdom and two pair of shoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Gathers Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Varys, Tyrion, Jaqen, Cersei, Maester Aemon.The ones I thought of, there are probably more lurking in the back of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Littlefinger's Lash Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 1: Varys 2: Petyr Baelish ("Littlefinger is the second most cunning man in the Seven Kingdoms...") 3: Tywin Lannister, he may be a "bad" person but he is cunning, deceptive and does what needs to be done. 4: Tyrion Lannister, for book-smarts, decent skill at playing the game, not put any higher for putting his trust on a whore, a sellsword, and a spider. 5: Roose Bolton - villains can be intelligent. 6: Aemon Targaryen, because wisdom trumps raw intelligence 11 times out of 10. I don't understand why people think Rhaegar is smart. It wasn't implied anywhere in the books. He was reportedly "good at everything he did", but it's quite a stretch from there on to genius level. Fan admiration? oh come on Varys is a total joke. Anyone, Marwyn, Euron, Aemon, Lady Olena, Sarella Jojen Reed, Moqorro, Tatters, Shit Illyrio is smarter than Varys, Arya, Sandor. I mean Varys is a guy who knows how to use theatrical grade make up and costumes. That's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
