the zshare link doesnt work T_T goes to stupid zwinky download oh and i love this website =D

I don't usually post here, although I try to keep up with your amusing summaries javabeans (komawoyo btw)....but I had to respond to this one...

The funny thing about this news for me is that when my brother first saw a picture of Kim Jung Hoon the first thing he said was that he looked smart. So till now my brother and I refer to him not by his name but as "the smart guy".

funny, huh?

I always thought that Tablo was pretty smart.

I guess I have proof now! ^-^

I had no idea Kim Tae Hee graduated from Seoul University.

cool

I remember learning in General Psychology that IQ is no longer a good measure of intelligence. Not to say that these people aren't smart, but their IQs shouldn't be causing such a huge fuss.

But then again, Koreans seem to love empirical "proof" of intelligence! (as well as "brand name" colleges and universities. But, heureusement, my grandmother now knows of at least one other university other than Harvard...since, I didn't go to Harvard)

Interesting list

I read that Lee Byung Hun has an IQ of 155. Does this high level of intelligence translate into success?

Kim Jung Hoo's IQ is really high!!

~__~ I took some IQ test awhile back and my IQ is only about 130....XD And I'm considered pretty smart around my peers. So these celebrities are really really just too much! They have to be good looking, talented (well, some of them) and smart too?! God isn't fair.

Tablo comes as no surprise to me. Didn't he go to Standford?

aww. its a shame that Tablo is not really using his intelligence.. no offense. but he can be some chemist finding the cure for cancer.
and im not surprised Kim Jung Hoon is smart. i saw this show once.. where you compete.. and you do calculus problems. and he won it! its not the easy calc but actually hard stuff. ^^

wooht wooht... go tablo!!! =D
not really surprised that he's on the list but it just makes me respect him even more...he's so adorable...like the dorky kinda cute!!!

Uwahhh Tablo is so smart! ^^
Tablo has a "Bachelor's Degree and Master's Degree in English Literature and Creative Writing, respectively from Stanford University" -from wikipedia-
heheh I love his glasses ;3

Yeah, I knew Kim Jung Hoon gave on a degree for dentistry so he had to have some brains for that... Is education for a celebrity that important? It generates respect from the public but they don't really put it to good use anyway unless they channel all that genius into creative thinking for entertainment purposes or self expression... Kim Jung Hoon and Tablo are cuties!

yea i definitely think KJH is smart

i knew Tablo was quite smart, but I never knew that he was this exceedingly intelligent! over 150.....? Not that I am saying that being in the entertainment industry is unworthy of people with high intelligence, but dont you think it's a waste for Tablo with his IQ of over 150 to be a rapper/actor (yes i know its his passion....but still)? music can touch people's lives but science and math affect far more.

It's funny, for them being a member of Mensa means they are extremely intelligent. In Spanish, mensa is the femenine form of dumb. hahahaha.

I'm not surprised about Tablo, Jung Joon Ha on the other hand I wasn't expecting.
That just goes to say, 'never judge a book by it's cover'.

I wasn't surprised about KTH, KJH and Tablo... but Jung Joon Ha?!? Wow!!! ^_^

I like how this proves that a high IQ doesn't translate to (acting) skills. :)

Shin Dong Yup... that's just really cool. 8D I guess that's good enough an explanation why he's hosting Exploring the Human Body which I think is actually pretty educational. :]
Some of the people in this list really surprise me o_o This is a really interesting topic~
And Kim Jung Hoon was studying dentistry before he decided to enter the entertainment business, I believe. :)

Something else that surprises me about this is how in the world someone the level of Kim Jung Hoon starred in Witch Amusement. It seems to me like making a genius play a part in this horrendous drama is an insult akin to making a priest make a Jesus statue out of elephant dung.

Hmm...that's some interesting trivia to me. I'll take it all with a grain of salt...but nice to know anyways.

The only people I knew beforehand with high IQs were Tablo and Kim Jung Hoon.

@loveactually -> "music can touch people’s lives but science and math affect far more."
not really. i have an IQ of 141 (even though i'm only at the bottom range but yay, i'm genius!!! lol) and i'm a chemeng major in uc berkeley. i don't think i can go farther than working my a$$ off at someone else's company trying to make money for myself... and i don't think having high IQs equals success. at the end success will only come to those who have worked hard and diligently..

I love Shin Dong Yeob, he's one the funniest comedians around :) I'm glad he's smart

I heard that EQ (Emotional Intelligence) is more important to your success than IQ. While you can't improve your IQ, you can certainly improve on your EQ.

tooizzy, i totally agree with you, though i think you can change your IQ over time.

IMO, those numbers are trivial if you can't apply and translate your intelligence into something that is positive. Many of the Mensa members that i've known interestingly have failed to make significant contributions to our society. On the other hand, those who have affect incredible worthwhile changes to this world have done it without relying heavily on their (lack of) cerebral abilities.

loveactually, being analytically sound is overrated. Yes, we and the world are better because of the many advances in science, technology and medicine. However, i have the utmost respect for the arts and anyone with an English major. Have you ever experience the power of a good book?
