To explain: at work I will say to someone, ‘Those jeans make you look fat.’ I am learning why you should not say this to colleagues. “I may have this massive IQ, but I have no filter. Scorpion is there as a drama about my life but also to reach out to those people going through what I went through growing up – feeling like a freak, an outsider, isolated.
HIGHEST IQ EVER TV
When I read somewhere that the popularity of the show CSI led to so many school-leavers choosing 'unpopular' science degrees, I realised a TV show could make a difference. But, growing up, I loved shows such as MacGyver. You look at TV now and you see shows such as Jersey Shore and The Kardashians. "This is why I agreed to the show portraying my life. O'Brien is disarmingly honest about how, despite having a high IQ, he has a very low EQ, or emotional intelligence. He frequently did these jobs during his school lunch break, he says, adding that he loved Irish banks’ computers because they were of a quality he could never afford, so provided him with a rare training ground.
HIGHEST IQ EVER INSTALL
Instead of having a paper-round job as he became a teenager, O’Brien says, he was hired by Irish banks – which at that stage were just becoming computerised – to install software, train staff and troubleshoot technical problems. If I am interested in a subject I click that switch. Yes, there were a few As in there, too, but with me I have this on/off switch. His Leaving Certificate results were by no means spectacular. My parents were great, though: they were always seeking the most difficult presents possible for me – Rubik’s cubes and things like that.” Having one of the highest IQs ever measured is as much a curse as it is a blessing. “It was difficult for my family growing up. I've a meeting with the queen of England in October, so I'll get home then. Since that original Irish Times article" – we first reported in August the details of the show and O'Brien's life – "I've been getting loads of messages from old school friends and people I used to know. "I'm a typical Irishman, in that I only get home for weddings and funerals. It is a matter of record, though, that a few years later, when O’Brien was in his mid 20s, the US recognised him as being of value to the country and granted him an E11 visa – aka a Green Card Through Self Petition, which allows people who have shown “extraordinary abilities” to become US residents. Press O’Brien and he responds that he can’t say any more about any deals he may have cut with the US authorities. If they signed it, he explained, he would show them the gaps in their security.
O’Brien says he coolly whipped out an extradition waiver from his schoolbag. He had been happily breaking into the computer systems of some of the most powerful institutions in the world – then arrived home from school one day to find a team of Americans waiting to arrest him for having hacked into Nasa. When O’Brien was 13, he says, his life took a dramatic turn. Ask him anything else and he’ll talk you under the table.
HIGHEST IQ EVER SERIES

O’Brien’s was measured when he was a child IQ tests usually takes age into account: a 10-year-old with the intelligence of a 15-year-old is certainly bright but isn’t necessarily as clever as a normal 20-year-old. It’s even hard to pin down what having a high IQ means. It’s impossible to substantiate such claims. "Walter personally caught the Boston Marathon bombers. "Walter O'Brien has saved the world several times over – things he can't even tell us about," the producer said. When CBS, the network behind Scorpion, unveiled O'Brien to the press, one journalist asked the show's producer why the network was investing so much money in the story of an Irish "supergeek".
His life story, as he tells it, is as remarkable as anything on television. The show, about supergeniuses solving crimes, will soon be screened on RTÉ. The Irishman's life is now the subject of Scorpion, a prime-time TV drama in the US. The man with perhaps the fourth-highest IQ ever measured says, "Once your IQ is 150 or over, it stops beings ability and becomes a disability." Walter O'Brien, the son of a Wexford farmer, says he has an IQ of 196.
