Lord of the Rings fans really are smarter… maybe
“Test the Nation”, which recently aired on TV in New Zealand, tested several groups of people including; Tolkien fans, real estate agents, cricket fans and taxi drivers. According to a review at Stuff, the show confirmed stereotypes, including that Tolkien fans are of superior intellect. However, the reviewer does comment that the IQ test used, “seemed rather limited”.
