Just a cpl from a quick google search. Seems her claims are real.



Fail. That's two freely editable wiki articles, one user-submitted content site, and one agregator that could have got it's information from the other sources. IOW, still proof of nothing. Anyone can achieve this level of "evidence" just by repeating a claim often enough. It doesn't take much to get something picked up by bloggers and websites with low editorial standards.

That said, I've no idea if Asia's claims are actually true or not, I'm just making a point. I think such claims should always be met with healthy skepticism, not least because in my experience most people of genuine high intelligence don't feel compelled to boast about it.

Seems odd things to lie about..Rutgers(why not just say Yale if you are lying?),Carnegie Hall,Mensa...these would be pretty easy for any reporter to disprove.Yet nobody ever has all these years...



The sort of reporters interested in Asia are hardly investigative journalists who would bother to check.

The question is..why cant you accept that there might be just a few of us who have a brain? I realize intelligence may not be an epidemic among PW's, but there are a few of us affected by it!



I never disputed that, I'm just skeptical of Asia's claims.
