How stupid is James Wood ?????

[syringis]

[Dave Starsky]

1. He has an IQ of 180.

Which explains why the Dungeons and Dragons game has separate ratings for Intelligence and Wisdom.

4. How do we know his IQ is 180?

How about I say MY IQ is 180! There's zero evidence of his "superior intellect." I checked his credentials and he was a Poly-Sci major for two years at MIT, never graduated. He was interested in theater there. BFD.

I think this James Woods IQ bullshit was a publicity stunt to make an ugly actor stand out.

[Dave Starsky]

8. Well, I've never believed it.

But I've known a lot of high-IQ functional morons.

[Greybnk48]

11. Me too. Book smart with no "horse sense."

But I truly think that IQ nonsense is just PR. There's nothing in his history to bear it out. Not one thing.

7. racism isn't used to measure IQ

14. Hi Dave

My question was rhetorical.

A High IQ on its own doesn't make someone interesting or admirable.

[Dave Starsky]

17. That's for sure.

I believe it was James Randi who said that highly intelligent people are most vulnerable to flim-flam, because they think they are just too smart to be fooled--when, in fact, anyone can be fooled by a skilled enough charlatan.

What baffles me about Trump is that he's not even a skilled charlatan. Anyone with half a brain can see him coming a mile away.

2. why does he need this?

it is either roseanne-like trainwreck or he wants a job at Fox news.

[Cha]

3. And, he wonders why his former talent agent,

Ken Kaplan, dropped him on the 4th of July

5. Woods is an undocumented asshole.nt

[MontanaMama]

12. We can change that

to Documented Asshole, don’tcha think? We’ve got the evidence in writing.

[AZ8theist]

13. from the image above I think we can conclude

that he's a DOCUMENTED asshole.

6. I've met him once

"Although James Woods is certainly very accomplished, he is NOT a member of Mensa (see the disclaimer at the beginning of the article). However, his SAT scores put mine to shame (and probably yours, too), coming in at 1580, including a perfect 800 in the verbal section. After high school he moved on to MIT, where he was planning on majoring in political science. He didn’t quite make graduation, though – after joining the school’s drama troupe and acting in and directing a number of plays, James decided to drop out of MIT just shy of graduation to jumpstart his acting career."

I met him playing poker once... he and Mimi Rogers used to occasionally play in celeb poker tournaments with us regular folks.

I think he is highly intelligent (my SAT score matches his, and I was accepted to MIT but didn't attend there). Don't know about the IQ180 claim... mine is/was over 160.

Being highly intelligent (like Ben Stein) does NOT prevent one from holding some incredibly racist / stupid beliefs.

10. Hi Lapfog

This : "Being highly intelligent (like Ben Stein) does NOT prevent one from holding some incredibly racist / stupid beliefs."

Absolutely true.

My question was rhetorical.

[Greybnk48]

15. Ben Stein. Another legend in his own mind. n/t

[DetlefK]

9. Or how about calling Trump-voters "economically anxious".

Or how about calling moochers and robber-baron capitalists "Libertarians".

Or how about calling theocrats "Evangelicals".

Or how about calling people who explode the deficit "fiscal conservatives".

Or how about calling Neonazis "Alt-Right".




Does he really want to abandon euphemisms?

[WhiteTara]

16. He's so stupid, his agent dropped him. nt
