His ignorance in the areas of politics and economics seem to be particularly pronounced, but I'm sure his lack of ability is spread far more broadly.
I think doing particularly well in an exam eg a strong A can be a good indicator of intelligence on the other hand totally failing an exam could mean many things.
Disinterest in the subject or the teacher various factors in your life (I know one A grade kid who got hit and badly hurt by a motorbike during exam week and ended up with terrible grades pretty much changed and defined his life from that point). Boredom to wanting poor grades to the company you keep at that age etc etc.
Regrading corbyn and his intelligence, I would find it hard to vote for a 71 year old man to be in power until he is 76 years old. Smart or dumb a lot of people they start mentally degrading notably in their early 70s0 -
The fact that he failed his A Levels, didn't complete his Polytechnic course and has not acheived anything of note in a long political career tells a story that goes beyond not doing that well in a couple of exams.0

Do you specifically mean people who think supporting the IRA killers is wrong?
Or do you mean people who are in denial about the politicians who support the IRA and are apologists for Mao killing 50 million people?
But I guess we can assume you aren't judgemental about such things?0 -

I'd happily share my views on him to his face, and out of consideration, I'd even use simple words and short sentences.I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.
Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.0 -

well I expect at least one will fall down stairs and accidentally land on a upturned ice pick.
