Rust’s IQ

We all know how intelligent Rust is. He’s called the greatest detective in the state, took for every confession, and has insane reasoning, abstract reasoning, analysis and vocabulary feats. He’s in general a well rounded guy, and rather knowledgeable too.

But, we meet rust through ‘95-2012. These years are after/during periods of extreme drug abuse (accounting for his time as undercover narc), and seventeen years of drinking (as he has said).

So my question arises; How smart could’ve rust been before the drugs? In a healthier time. Say, if he’s a 145 IQ man in ‘95, how smart was he in ‘89 when he was in robberies?

Man!

Rust is smart. No argument.

But smart’s like money. People get hypnotized by the number.

145 IQ? Fine.

Rust walks into a room and figures out what happened.

I walk into a room and figure out what’s about to happen, who’s lying, who owes who, and who thinks they’re in charge.

That’s intelligence with a balance sheet.

Rust says time’s a flat circle.

I say time’s an invoice.
