Is Mike Ross Also A High Potential Individual?
Mike’s IQ Was Never Disclosed In Suits
Kaitlin Olson’s roleas Morgan inHigh Potentialis considered a high potential intellectual (HPI), hence the ABC TV show’s name.Morgan has an IQ of 160,and if someone has an IQ over 130, they are defined as an HPI. So, byHigh Potential’s standards, Mike can also be characterized as an HPI.
New episodes ofHigh Potentialair on Tuesdays at 10 pm ET on ABC. Season 1, which has already concluded filming, will contain 13 episodes.
Suitsnever revealed Mike’s IQ, but many speculate that it must be around 150–160,thanks to his eidetic memory. Since Mike has an eidetic memory, he has the ability to absorb and remember a limitless amount of information, which is why he is a great lawyer right off the bat (even though he didn’t graduate from law school). So, those who miss watchingPatrick J. Adams' Mike inSuitscan tune in toHigh Potentialto see the character’s female counterpart.
