Ladies, ladies,

I know: let's sort out our terms here. Let's say that "intelligence" is too vague a term that has baffled psychologists for many years, and will continue to do so.

Let's say, that for the purposes of this forum, we are in fact referring to "brightness". A percieved view of how "bright" the housemates appear to an outside observer.

Okay?

no degrees whatsoever. Could never be bothered to finish.

Which psychopathic traits do you mean?

Actually Jezza,
Psychopaths and especially sociopaths have been shown to have high IQs in general (ie higher than the general population).
Now, whether you agree that the IQ test measures intelligence...

The ability to make people think that the arse shines out of her backside while simultaneously causing problems for them in order to gain popularity and social status. She does this very well, I can give you many examples if you like. This is a classic psychopathic trait, even if it sounds extreme.

hmm ok good one. But I notice she wouldn't pull the stunt on PJ, she would just use someone like Jade.

Guess you're not very impressed by her then?
What do you think about Jade?

Not much. She's naive & easily influenced & frankly a bit stupid. I think she's quite bitter as well judging by the way she acts towards people sometimes. Good points? Hmm.. well I'm sure I could find some if I got to know her.

I can't stand her but I do feel sorry for her. She looks the sort thats always been ridiculed and maybe worse. Having said that I'd strangle her if I spent ten minutes in her company

Nearly right: psychopaths are manipulative but they DON'T seek popularity, they merely use others to get their own ways.
(sounds a bit like spencer come to think of it...)

actually did do psych degree but didn't bother to take the exams.

erm, who are we talking about again???

jack
drunk and confused.

ok nearly there. the object in this game is to get enough popularity so you won't be voted out so I guess she is manipulating people to get what she wants.

Now Spencer, yes I agree but I think his act is a lot slicker.

Jade

I find it hard to be compassionate to someone who can be so bitchy though, but maybe that's Adele's influence.
