Adele fans had the highest IQs.

The survey found that the average IQ of Kanye West fans was 84, at the very low side of normal on the IQ scale. The average IQ in Australia and the USA is 98. In the UK it is 100.

The survey found that while West does have many fans with high IQs, on average, his fans are among the least intelligent.

Beyonce 96
Taylor Swift 99
Adele 105
Coldplay 102
One Direction 94
Kanye West 86
Rihanna 96
Sia 101
Ed Sheeran 102
Australian/USA average 98
New Zealand average 99

SCORE WHAT THE RESULTS MEAN
40 – 54 Severely challenged (Less than 1% of test takers)
55 – 69 Challenged (2.3% of test takers)

The survey of 498 former clients of The Job Factory involved asking the same 25 IQ questions to all participants. At the end of the survey, the job seekers were asked to nominate their favorite singer or group from of a list of 10.

Background

Modern IQ testing stems from the work of psychologist Henry Goddard. The test was used to test basic intellectual functions in school children and to support mental health diagnoses.

Goddard controversially argued that adults with low IQs shouldn’t procreate.
