    is Rush really that much smarter then Volker or Franklin?

    or is he really just more single minded then them?

    Yes he is smarter then them but probably not as smarter as Rush arrogance thinks

      Rush is smarter. Volker and Franklin and Brody are the C-Team. Rush is A-Team.

        Rush is smarter. Then there's Eli to bring Rush's attitude down a notch or two. I think they were starting to show the different talents of these people. The idea of who's smarter than who is sometimes not the question, it's more what area they are smarter in. Like Rush's little joke getting Brody caught in the stasis chamber, Eli didn't figure out a broader reason for the problem.

          volker or franklin appear to be more like highly skilled engineers rather than scientists.

            Then there's Chloe, she's smart now too, right? But she's probably Y-team.

              She can do some math that Rush can't do and he has to give her the equation, I would say she is MUCH better than a Y-team.

                  Rush is more intelligent, it is older has more experience. Volker and Brody is him also, but they are not geniuses , thus we cannot say that they are more intelligent or of similar intelligence than a scientist who in fact much more than years in the job . Of quite manners, them three, are them not in the same branch, not exactly.

                  Spoiler:
                  When to Chloé, are intelligence is not innate, she became like that grace (or in cause) of blue Aliens.


                  Eli is childish and very stupid ^^ (sorry I hate Eli)

                    Define smarter. Are we even sure what Rush is other than conversant in Ancient tech? We know that Eli does ok because no one really knows how anything on the ship works. If you remember from the twin Destiny's scavenger hunt, none of them have a clue what the components are they are sent to scavenge.

                    In truth, the engineers would have been making water and scrubbing CO2 very early in the series. With the aid of the stones they may have been synthesizing foodstuffs. While it would be great to have a Rush working for an engineer or leader, the next priority would be finding around a dozen capable engineers of various disciplines.

                      Those engineers have IQs well above 100 and probably over 125 (most do) along with Young, TJ, and a few others. Rush and Eli are likely much higher (140 to 160) than genius along with one or two of the engineers if there is a population of 10 or so (assuming Icarus engineers are run of the mill). Cloe, Wray, Scott, Greer pretty close to average just based upon the characters.

                        "synthesizing foodstuffs" you can do that?

                          to be fair to "Cloe, Wray" they both seemed to be pretty highly educated, but just in fields that wouldn't be much help surviving on a space ship
                          that chart seems a bit low, I mean only 114 medical doctor, and my IQ is 130 and people have always told be it's only significantly above average, I find it hard to believe I'm equal to most Physicists
                          also what occupation is "Philosophy"?

                            question: I clicked on the link and after reading article I want to know what are and how do these "GRE scores" and "V-Q-A scores" relate to each other? the article made it seem like they where something different, but if that's the case why did the people in the comment section keep talking about their GRE scores when he said the IQ results where based on "V-Q-A scores"?

                              V-Q-A may refer to the 3 parts of the GRE; "verbal", "quantitative", and "analytical". At least, back in the olden days when I took the GRE, those were the three sections.
