Datguy8925 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Well Trevor actually is quite smart considering he almost became an airforce pilot, and that his heist with merryweather was pulled off with no input from Lester other than Lester coming and telling him he is messing with the wrong sort of people and to return what he stole. Trevor exudes street smarts. However Lester is more intelligence in his organizing, researching, and planning. clevertrev 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/763497-was-trevor-the-smartest-character-after-lester/#findComment-1066873370 Share on other sites More sharing options...
happygrowls Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yet another brilliant greenrock thread! In seriousness, Trevor isn't one of the smartest characters. If he was he would have done what Mike did and give up on the lifestyle.

MrDeSanta Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I know this topic is probably just a flame-bait but i`ll give my 2 cents anyway. Trevor isn`t stupid that`s for sure but he`s far far from being an intelligent person. As evidenced by his mindless acts towards the O Neills and Cheng. I know he was fueled by meth and rage but still, an intelligent person wouldn`t do such things. And secondly if he would really be that smart then how the f*ck he didn`t notice what Michael was up to in North Yankton in the prologue. It was more than clear when Michael insisted they should "stick to the plan" and follow their planed route and when Michael droped himself on the floor acting like he has been shot when he didn`t have any wound. If i`ve noticed this in my 1.st playthrough then Trevor should also know immediatelly that Michael set him and Brad up. He was even that dumb that he actually believed Dave`s mails that they are from Brad. He actually thought Brad is in jail. If that`s an intelligent person then holly f*ck. Because the naivity is ussually also connected to stupidity. You can be smart but also naive but not to that point. I`d say Trevor had a mediocre IQ. He was not stupid nor he wasn`t any smart.

woggleman Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Trevor is smart in some ways but has no common sense. He obviously knows a lot about world affairs and he knew right they were getting ripped off in Hood Safari but he also is impulsive and does things without thinking.

Trevorphilipjfry Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I think Trevor is actually quite smart He planned a successful heist by himself,all logistics, planning and work, without even a computer Almost became an air force pilot, and it seems he only missed because of his psychological profile, suggesting he knows quite a lot about physics etc. Ain just nobody be flying them jets.

Vice City criminal Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Greenrock was the smartest.

EatingPlums Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Trevor's crazy, yeah. Crazy and f*ckin' brilliant, which makes him even scarier. He made it into the US Air Force Academy, which means he must've had some sort of college degree, I think. He's obviously educated, making keen comments regarding economics, physics, psychology, sociology, and politics throughout the game. He also, surprisingly, has the most extensive vocabulary of the three protagonists. T seems to be extremely insightful as well; his save in The Hood Safari and the back-and-forth between him and M in Bury the Hatchet are examples of this. He has some kind of child-like naïveté that screws this up though, allowing his friends to take advantage of him. He's also very witty. I know a lot of people characterize Trevor's dialogue as nothing but a bunch of f*ck YOU's, but that's far from the case. So, yeah, he's brilliant. But he's also f*ckin' crazy. He has very little self-control, compounded by a psychological need to rebel, making decisions that end up with everyone around him dead. That doesn't mean he's any less intelligent, though. Ever heard 'Jeremy' by Pearl Jam? I can imagine T being that kid when he was younger, just ten times worse. slvrcobra, agonistes06, Sussus Amongus and 1 other 4 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/763497-was-trevor-the-smartest-character-after-lester/#findComment-1066873961 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Deadite Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Trevor is not an idiot like some people say, it's a proven fact he's really goood at maths (the big one-smart approach) but he has some terrible grammar (look at his f*cking texts!!), Trevor is fairly smart for being a hillbily-cannibal-speed freak. Michael on the other hand, he is the criminal mastermind of the gta series.

Andreas Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Right, I just removed a dozen of spam replies in here. Don't post unless you have something worthwhile to contribute to the topic at hand. As for Trevor, he is smarter than he appears to be at first glance, without a doubt. It's his aggression that often overshadows his intelligence. I wouldn't say that he's the smartest character after Lester, though.

J-B Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Trevor is a well read individual with an above average intellect. He's also a bi-polar speed freak who doesn't listen to reason.

Deus Ex Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 He's very smart. But his mental instability can get a better of him, he's rash and tends to make decisions without thinking too much about the consequences. If he were less like that, he'd be even more dangerous.

Dawg37 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Trevor would of needed to be an officer as only officers are allowed to be pilots. It would take a lot of studying and hard work to reach that point. Your grades don't have to be that good to join the Air Force, it all depends on how well you do on the ASVAB test. The ASVAB is scored in 4 critical areas: Arithmetic Reasoning, Word Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension and Mathematics Knowledge, all of which count towards the Armed Forces Qualifying Test (AFQT). The score determines whether you're qualified to enlist in the U.S military. So knowing that Trevor is, said by Wade,"Trevor is very good at numbers" it would mean he has a high understanding in maths. So mathematically he is smart. As displayed in the Merrywether Heist, he is smart enough to execute a plan by just taking pics (or was it Ron who planned it all?) However, in terms of research background he isn't smart, that's seen when he did not know the risk of taking the 'super weapon' and also when he robbed a guy that had ID'd him. Trevor cannot think rationally, seen in Crystal Maze. Trev is smart mathematically. So I'm not sure where that puts him on the "smart" list.

killahmatic Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Trevor's insanity masks how smart he is or isn't. All three protags were smart in different ways and all three were dumb in different ways. I don't think its something I can accurately compare.
