That's ironically the definition of what NDRU said: Idiot savant.  "You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup...Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." - Bruce Lee

That's ironically the definition of what NDRU said: Idiot savant. But he does show a sense of humor at times, which is a sure sign of intelligence.
I think his biggest weakness is when trying to express deeper thoughts with words, either through his lyrics or in interviews. But this is not lack of intelligence in my mind, but lack of education, combined with a desire to be cryptic. My Legacy

Right, I was thinking the same thing. I remember reading where he was interviewed by this woman/girl and they went to a museum in NY and she was talking about evolution and he was talking about GOD and I believe she told Prince during their interview that she didn't believe in GOD and he walked out on her or something like that. One would think if what is being discussed cannot be found in the New World Translation of the bible then he would not believe it. That's why his mind would be closed (lyrically) but Musically it would be wide open. Hence the I.Q. may be high but I would gather P would be at the genius level. Peace ... & Stay Funky ...

I'm sure there are many artists, Prince especially, who think being cryptic is a display of individuality and esotericism. | |

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

He joined the JW so this is obviously true in that case. | |

What's the highest Fam IQ? Prince's is higher than that, but less than a taxidermy specimen. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

Don't be fooled! IQ is a meaningless measurement! Actually, it was designed to see what kind of officer you would make in the British military! All real intelligence/inspiration comes from your heart, which sends impulses to the memory bank/computer that is your brain. If your heart is not in something, it seems nearly impossible to do it. If your heart is in what you are doing, seeming acts of genius takes place. The most ridiculous thing I've witnessed is when people score really high on an iq test, and walk around thinking that they're actually, truly intelligent. These are the biggest idiots I know.
