The civil servant who had no brain
A french civil servant, 44 years old and with two kids, was revealed to have an extraordinarily tiny brain.
Neuropsychological testing revealed the man had an IQ of 75, with a verbal IQ of 84 and performance IQ of 70. The bulk of people in society have a minimum IQ of 85, although the benchmark and the way it is measured are sometimes contested.
Despite this, “the man has been able to lead a life that can be considered normal,” said Feuillet. “Even if he has a slight intellectual handicap, this has not hampered his development or building social networks.”
Amazing how normally one can live on almost no intelligence, but you’ve really gotta wonder how the wife was covering for his botched scrabble games and misquotations of Proust.
