Did Anakin Skywalker have a genius IQ?

At the age of 8 Anakin Skywalker built his own Podracer as well as a Protocol Droid.

Is there any way to determine that, had he lived on Earth he would be tested to have a 'genius level IQ' (e.g. an IQ of 160 or more)?

Hes a mechanical genius.

He's actually dumb as a brick though.

I believe in Kotor 2 Kreia says that some Jedi are just naturally gifted with machines. I think thats what Anakin was. In terms of actual intelligence he isn't anything special.

He couldn't figure out Palpatine was the Sith Lord despite him dropping hints left and right...

"Take revenge on Hardeen Anakin" (Palpatine smiles creepily)
Anakin suspects nothing

(Anakin chokes Dooku) (Palpatine smiles creepily)
Anakin suspects nothing

"Good Anakin good. Kill him kill him now" (sudden voice change) "DEW IT!!!"
Anakin suspects nothing

"leave Obi-wan behind so he can die"
Anakin suspects nothing

"The Jedi are planning to take over the Republic"
Anakin suspects nothing

"Sith and Jedi are similar in every way"
Anakin suspects nothing

"I know secrets about the Sith not even Jedi know, even though they've been in hiding for a thousand years"
Anakin still suspects nothing

"You can't learn this convenient power I just happen to know about from a Jedi"
Anakin still suspects nothing

"You must learn to break through the fog of lies the Jedi have created around you"
Anakin still suspects nothing

"Let me help you to know the subtleties of the force"
Anakin still suspects nothing

"My master taught me everything about the force"
Anakin still suspects absolutely nothing

"Even the nature of the dark side"
Anakin has a slight feeling that something's wrong

"The Jedi have dogmatic narrow views"
Anakin is put a little more at ease

"Learn the dark side from me and you can save your wife"
Anakin suddenly realizes "YOU'RE THE SITH LORD!!!"

...


Yeah Anakin's a genius

Anakin's questionable judgment notwithstanding, dude designed and built an exceptionally sophisticated droid at age 9 and displays impressive tactical acumen during TCW.

He's definitely a genius.

He didn't design and build it, he found and repaired it. Its explained in a comic. It is just the same model as other protocol droids.

It was.

I'd classify Anakin as a mechanical savant, since he's surprisingly dumb in every other measurable form of intelligence.

Paraphrasing RedLetterMedia:

quote:

Palpatine: "Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful, so wise, he could even prevent pregnant secret wives from dying while in labor."


Anakin suspects nothing.

Talented yes. His common sense isn't overwhelming though.

He was good as a builder, fighter, pilot, but anything involving actual people skills? Hell no.
