Anna Chapman is a beautiful 28-year-old Russian with an IQ of 162, a diplomat father and a taste for the high life.

She also has a romantic streak, having married her British boyfriend within a few months of meeting him.

With such attributes it is hardly surprising that she has been called a real-life Bond girl.

Anna Kushchenko, to use her maiden name, was born in the industrial southern Russian city of Volgograd, then Stalingrad, to a maths teacher mother, Irene, and a diplomat father, Vasily.

She does not appear to have had an especially gilded youth, having suffered from scoliosis - curvature of the spine - as a child and having lived with her grandmother there.

wow...Warren Buffet’s name surfaces. that’s odd, huh?

[Nooseman]

Guess id let her spy on me if she really wanted to.but her lips better not be sealed.

...an IQ of 162...
If she's so smart then this "genius" should've never been caught.

[muawiyah]

The CIA and other intelligence agencies regularly employ some very high IQ folks themselves.

The people on the cutting edge of the conflict of civilizations are all pretty bright ~ and both sides catch their fair share of them.

[Smith Winston]

maybe it was not her fault that she was caught?

[muawiyah]

Tycho Brahe, one of the world’s all time “smart guys” was into dueling.

[valkyry1]

The article does mention she was prone to exaggeration.

Maybe he really did earn his money the old fashioned way...

I knew a girl once, looked just like that. She used to dance artistically in a New York City nightclub.

She asked me if I could guess where she was from.

I said “the Ukraine?”

It blew her away, since I Judged it correctly first time right out of the box.

She then thought I had an IQ of 162.

[valkyry1]

And a practiced deceiver.

[valkyry1]

Kind of is isn’t it, or maybe not. They were probably trying insert her wherever they could at the same time build up her CV.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Her spine looks OK now...

“Ha ha ha ha IQ of 162.”

You doubt? IQ has nothing to do with social behavior. You think all with high IQ are introverts? Are incapable of being normal, down to earth sheeple? Those with ‘normal’ IQ are either awed by, or ridicule those who are intelligent. :)

[valkyry1]

Now THAT is hot!

[Perdogg]

I believe, no proof just speculation, that she was involved in money laundering for real spies not espionage. I doubt she had an IQ of 162. She probably took one of those internet IQ test. btw, I'd hit it faster than Boris Yeltsin could down a bottle of stoli.

That’s right. He had a gold nose: the original had been cut off with a sabre.
