The key word is "alleged". Sharon Stone was shopping around the lie that she was a Mensa member, until Mensa stepped up and said she was never a member. Then she retracted the lie.

The only members in that list worth salt are under the "verified" status, not the 'alleged'.

However, given James Woods' academic background, I don't doubt he has a high IQ.

I have met a few mensa members and I would not describe them as particularly intelligent people. Just particularly good at puzzles. Some of them are downright inept otherwise.

lol I find it funny that hawking is at the bottom of that list yet he seems to have more accomplishments in terms of academic work etc. I also find it odd that none of those people are on any lists of the top richest people in the world etc besides when it comes to IQ which makes you wonder why having a very high IQ is such a big deal it doesnt seem to help much in terms of success in life

Jayne Mansfield, the "world's smartest dumb blonde", claimed to have an IQ of 163, but I believe that is unverified.

She was perfect in "The Girl Can't Help It", a classic early rock n' roll movie that featured Little Richard, Eddie Cochran, and others.

We need people capable of developing, improving upon, and repairing the technologies we use. Being able to create and design things like planes, bombs, and mobile phones may not make everybody involved wealthy, but I think that the high IQ people responsible for these technologies are invaluable to our way of life.

I'm not a genius. I'm a simple man that chases money and pussy (ie. success as defined by the common man). For many scholars and geniuses, that's not the case.

He was a regular on the old Tom Snyder show and gave some pretty good interviews.

By your acquaintance with me on Terb, you know another one, and I am the reverse of what you know. I'm hardly inept, with the exception of figuring out the puzzle that is fuji.
I didn't say they all were, but someone with high functioning autism could do quite well at the sorts of things they put on that test. Puzzle solving ability is not the best measure of general intelligence.

Yeah, where he played Sharon Stones slimebag ex-bf. Aka "the card shark, the golf hustler, the pimp from beverly hills" as described by Robert Deniro in one of my favorite scenes in the movie. Lol!

So you are basically saying that Menza can't evaluate intelligence as well as fuji. :D

That is just so deliciously all that is fuji.
