How was that score verified?

BTW, if you listen to the guy speak, it's clear that he's got a very quick mind.

I don't think the score itself has been verified, but, given that he ended graduating Harvard Law cum laude (and at the age of 23), it'd probably be more surprising if it wasn't alarmingly high. 

He's got a quick mind, to be sure, but, sadly, he realised he can make a lot more money using that mind for bullshit than for good.

Friends, "Let's go dancing!"

Given Shapiro's utter lack of any intelligence, the only way he could have scored so highly is eithr a) a brown paper envelope was handed over to the marker or b) a ringer took the test.

Listen to the man speak for five minutes and you'll find an empty headed vapid ignoramus badly cosplaing as somebody smart.

A high testing score doesn't imply cheating. Shapiro is actually a perfect example of a very bright guy holding very stupid ideas.

From spending a considerable amount of time listening to him, Shapiro sounds every inch the idiot who came from a rich background who got every advantage and never had to work who, as a consequence, was fooled into thinking he's the smartest guy in the room.

He's the US equivalent of a Clongowes D4 rugger bugger.

Graduated high school at 16, got his BA at 20 (summa), got his JD at 23 (cum laude).

He’s not stupid. He’s just wrong.
