Smartest Celebrities
So I had to do a little research to come up with this list, for admittedly I didn’t know what index to use. GPA? Degrees? IQ?
I finally decided to go with IQ or “intelligence quotient” as it is the most related to “smartness” as a lot of “over achievers” get good grades and degrees.
SO to find the highest IQ celebrities I did a internet search for MENSA members. Here are the top six celebrity MENSA members:
Sharon Stone (Yes THE Sharon Stone!)
Geena Davis (I saw her at the Hollywood Bed, Bath and Beyond the other day.)
Steve Martin (The actor)
Stan Medley ( Yes, he was on my Sexiest Men list too! And this makes him even sexier)
Scott Adams ( Look him up on IMDB if you don’t know who he is)
Jodie Foster (No surprise here, huh!)
These are the verified MENSA members (The HIGH IQ Society). I figure they are ALL tied for first place as all we know about them is that they are members of MENSA. We do not know which of them has the higher IQ.
Honorable mention does go to JAMES WOOD, however, who is reported to have an extremely high IQ though we cannot verify any MENSA MEMBERSHIP. (Well done James for being an IQ rebel.)
NOW notice that it is quite interesting that out of our top SIX four first names begin with the letter “S”. Quite a showing for that letter “S”. I Guess that makes it the smartest celebrity letter in the alphabet. Now you know why Sharon Stone TOPS my list - because her name has a double “S”. (AND - oh - but the way, my name IS Sheree!)
Also noteworthy is that two of the SIX have last names that begin with the letter “M” - so maybe that should put Steve Martin and Stan Medley at the top of the list as both of their first names begin with the letter “S” and last names begin with the letter “M.”
And as long as we are mentioning Stan Medley, note that he was also in my top 5 on my SEXIEST MEN IN AMERICA LIST. He was number TWO - but I guess this moves him into the NUMBER ONE position on that list as a SMART MAN is really, really sexy to me. Don’t you think! (Sorry George Clooney!)
