Wait, I feel like the fact that he already has
like things going for him, like,
I kind of wanna put him up there too.
(contemplative music)
- Inch near two there. - Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, I'll put you at like two.
- Well, my startup's just little bounce house

Well he said he wanted to do law school too.
- We got a lot of-- - He's in law too.

- The arbitration, so more like for civil cases,
like before you go to court, you can like agree on a number.
- You're doing film, now, you see the camera crew here?
That's a lot of work.
You gotta be smart to do that.
So you go up there, I can go here.
- Hey, shout out!
- Phu's a little humble,
he's about to walk out with a number--
- Right, yeah. - I don't know, I don't know.
- He's about to walk out with 150 or something.
(all laughing)
- [Phu] No, no!
- Phu's trying to set us up for the switcheroo.
- I'm just gonna have us switch,
just because of all that like expertise that you have.
- Okay.
- Like film, political science, the third one?
- The third--
(Chris chuckles)
- Yeah.
(Mateo laughs)
- English. - English, okay.
(contemplative music)
- I kind of wanna switch with you just 'cause I feel like,
I'm kind of still like a freshman.
I would put you like right here
and I'd put myself kind of like--
- Are we, like--
- But smartness and IQ are like two separate things.
- Yep, two things! - Well--
- Your smartness or like whatever you know,
is like what you're educated on.
But your IQ is your intelligence.
It means what like your mind is capable of.
So like, how smart you are
is how you apply your intelligence.
So I don't think necessarily
like your major needs to correlate with it,
'cause like--
- Right. - Fair enough.
- Like someone's artistic but like just because
they aren't good at math.
- Right.
- Doesn't mean that they're not smart and like--
- Well I think, I was just gonna say like,
I think IQ is like, it's a test that allegedly tests
your mental capacity.
- For what, though?
Like anything?
- But for what?
And also I think it's like you're talking about
like time management also like work ethic.
It's like if you're talking about intelligence,
I think somebody who knows how to like manage their time
and get stuff done is more intelligent than somebody who has
like a higher capacity but doesn't apply it.
- What the IQ says doesn't do with emotional intelligence.
- And there's also like social intelligence, like you know,
people are just really good at like reading a room
and being like, "Hey this is what's going on".
- I just find it interesting how you lower yourself,
'cause you're a freshman and he's a senior.
I feel like the way you think is, I'm kind of think like,
with age comes with like knowledge.
'Cause if you really think about it, he graduated already.
- Yeah.
- I'm just glad I graduated.
(party horn blares)
I don't know how I graduated to be honest.
- Yeah.
(all laughing)
- You put yourself at the end too!
We had you over here!
- Yeah.
- I don't know why you put yourself back here at the end.
You should've, we should definitely put you on that end.
- I've never, like--
- One of you literally said that IQ was like your ability
to apply stuff.
- Yeah.
- And we discussed you already are making money
off of things that you've applied.
You should be if not first, second.
- Yeah. - Yeah, I don't know
- I'm gonna be right here.
- Yeah.
- And, if not first, second, fourth.
(all laughing)
- Yeah, how would you guys define intelligence?
- Yeah.
- It's like--
- That's a good question.
- I think like intelligence is defined
as your mind's capability to like process,
analyze and apply information.
- Okay. - Huh.
- Not necessarily in like a specific field, but it could be
like anything like how do I take a new stuff
and how do I utilize that?
- Right, right.
- I think a big thing with like what makes somebody
intellectual is the fact that they can admit
that they're wrong and listen
to when someone has an opinion that differs from their own.
- I also think a huge part of IQ is like creativity.
Like just thinking of like new ideas outside of the box.
Like Einstein, you know, he like created all these like
different theories that like no one had ever
thought about before.
And it's like, doing completely new things.
- Well it's that whole thing,
Was it like, Isaac Newton invent invented calculus,
died a virgin.
(all chuckling)
And so, Isaac Newton, objectively smarter than myself
in every regard.
If you're talking about like in like social stuff,
there's like a lot of smart people I know
that don't know how to like carry a conversation.
- Isaac Newton wouldn't get a bid.
- Yeah, no.
(all laughing)
- No, he wouldn't, no, yeah. - No, no bids guy, for sure.
- No, it was, yeah, Mark Zuckerberg.
- Yeah.
- Literally like just an NPC.
He's probably super smart
but like yeah he's not getting a bid.
- [Mateo] Yeah.
- Do you guys feel like there's like a stigma
between like people in fraternity specifically,
fraternity men and like intelligence?
- Yeah, I feel there is, we're always dumb.
We just wanna drink and party, don't do anything.
But the reality is we actually put in a lot of work,
'cause we have to work hard in order to play hard.
(party horn blares)
- Right, I agree.
- And we just don't party.
We raise money for charity.
We always do philanthropy for the school.
- Frat boys are definitely painted as
like this two dimensional, what is it,
like Wolf of Wall Street characters, you know?
(people on office cheering)
- Another thing, I think like people
that aren't in Greek life don't realize
is like, there's like an academic standard, you know?
Like everyone has to like succeed in the classroom
and like get good grades in order to be an active member.
I mean at least for me, yeah.
- I mean, yeah.
- Yes, if you're not an academic--
- Yeah.
- You're a college student.
Respectfully, I think that you should be higher up.
Like I think you should be too.
- All right.
- I don't know, I just feel like the way that he,
he's quieter I think.
But I think that when he does speak it's very deliberate
and like efficient.
- Thank you.
- I don't know, I think you're smart.
Like smarter than me at least.
- Thanks, sure.
- I think like a lot of the stigma too,
I think it's on us to overcome that.
'Cause I think like historically it's like,
you see these like Barstool and whatever,
it's every time you see a frat dude.
- Yeah.
- He's doing something dumb.
(upbeat music)
And so I think there's like, I do dumb things.
I feel like I can also do well in the classroom.
- Definitely like portrayal in like movies and stuff too.
Like there's a really old movie like called "Animal House".
- "Animal House". - "Animal House", yeah.
- Yes, yes.
- Yeah, where it's just like just a bunch
of like juvenile delinquents living in a house together,
somehow making ends meet.
And it's like that's not really the reality of things.
- And like the word that he used too,
like frat and fraternity, like in the news,
you would never see the full word, fraternity.
You always see frats, frats, frats,
frats do this, frats do that.
Frats get a really bad name and stigma to that.
- One other question.
Who knows more than one language?
(contemplative music)
All right, I'm a need to raise both of you this way.
- Yeah, for sure.
- I would personally put y'all there.
- Yep. - I don't know.
- 'Cause that's like a big like lexicon of knowledge.
- I feel like it's easier when you're raised
speaking two languages.
I feel like I'm not fluent in Spanish
but I've definitely attempted to learn it.
I've definitely attempted to learn Japanese.
I'm not fluent in either.
- Right.
- But like the fact that I tried like, I don't know.
- Right.
- Are you watching animes in Japanese though?
- Yes.
(all laughing)
- Could you do it without subtitles?
- [Max] Yeah.
- Oh yeah, you should come a little high.
- All right, well wait.
- Maybe here.
- I'd say get back right here.
- All right well-
- Pass me, pass me.
- No, I--
- You're a smart guy.
- You're gonna smash mine, man.
You're also really smart.
- You're very, you're articulated as well, yeah.
- Okay.
- Caveman IQs. - Just from our conversations,
I feel like wrong having Chris last.
Maybe like right above me, that's what I think.
- I do--
- Yeah.
- [Paulo] All right, do you guys
wanna change anything around?
- Final ranking.
(Muzak music)
- Hey it's Paulo.
Are you enjoying this episode of Ranking?
If you are, subscribe down below and like this video.
Now let's get back to the episode.
(transition whooshing)
So you guys have finished the test.
Any thoughts before you see your scores?
- It was harder than I thought.
- Yeah. - Yeah, it was tough.
- I was getting dizzy at the end.
There's so many shapes.
- I'm confused, how some of the things we saw
have any like physical application to like real world,
Like no, it felt like an episode of "The Wiggles".
Like, it was bad.
- Yeah.
(playful music)
It was the "Teletubbies".
It was like the shapes and stuff, yeah.
(transition whooshing)
- [Paulo] Are you guys ready to know your scores?
- Yes. - Yeah, let's do it.
- [Paulo] So in sixth with the lowest score was Alexis.
(contemplative music)
(paper rustling)
- 92.
- [Paulo] In fifth is Phu.
- Thank you.
(paper rustling)
- 107.
- Aye.
- [Paulo] In fourth is Mateo.
- 110.
- [Paulo] In third is Max.
- 112.
- [Paulo] In second is Karim.
(paper rustling)
- 128.
- Ooh.
- [Paulo] And in first is Chris.
(paper rustling)
- 141.
- Damn. - Genius.
- [Paulo] So the average score is a hundred.
Do you think that reflects your intelligence?
- I would say no, because doesn't calculate in
like emotional intelligence or creativity,
'cause the test was pretty quick.
It was 35 questions in 25 minutes,
I guessed on a whole bunch.
'Cause I was crunching on time.
I had a minute left with like eight questions.
(transition whooshing)
(contemplative music)
- [Paulo] Do you think intelligence
immediately translates to success?
- No.
- By no means.
- No.
- They're by no, no shot.
- Takes hard work and luck and opportunity.
(upbeat music)
- Yeah, exactly.
- A lot of luck and opportunity.
- And when you apply for a job,
they just care what degree you got
and then how you're gonna apply
to your job and how hard you're gonna work.
Like in business, the most important thing that I see
is how you manage to grow.
- [Max] Sure.
- Each day.
- [Paulo] What do you think this kind
of experiment says about frat bros?
- We're smart fellas.
- Yeah.
(all laughing)
- You can't put a title on any category of person.
- We're all smart in different ways.
- Yeah.
- Yeah and I think that an arbitrary number,
like IQ or GPA, is like not the most real indicator of that.
