Has anyone heard mention of Jarod's IQ at any point in the series?
Also, I am interested in the factors that contribute to genius. Does anybody
think that is actually POSSIBLE to be as smart as Jarod?

I don't know for sure.But, I have seen kids who went to college at age 11 and
became scientists soon after and are extremely smart.I heard a story of a genius
like that who talked at 3 months of age! As for anyone being like Jarod in that
they can take on any role and do it well I am sure it can be done.We have all
heard stories of people who impersonated doctors and such and nobody suspected a
thing.So, it could be very possible to do I guess

I expect that Jarod's IQ would be too high to measure. I believe it's around
220 or something where the IQ scale just shorts out? He's at least that
smart.

Well, it's not really the impersonation that makes you a pretender. Given
some time, anyone can impersonate anyone else with relatively little
trouble. Jarod's schtick is the fact that he can get into the mind of any
role to the point where he can become that role. He doesn't just pretend to
be a doctor, he can get into the mindset of the doctor. That is what makes
Jarod so special.

As for whether it's possible to be as smart as Jarod, I'd have to say no.
Jarod's capabilities, AFAIK, are either theoretical extremes of that nature,
or simple a fictional set of abilities. It may be possible - on the very far
ends of possible - but it's so close to impossible that it might as well
should be.
