Frank Lampard admits topping wife was the 'best thing' about impressive IQ test result – with Chelsea legend & current Coventry boss claiming bragging rights over TV presenter Christine

Chelsea

Championship

Coventry

<p>Chelsea legend Lampard, who is now in charge of Championship promotion hopefuls Coventry, showcased his intelligence while still on the books at Stamford Bridge. He aced the exam in question, putting him in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/chelsea-star-frank-lampard-alleged-to-have-genius-iq/blt211f5c374f283ab8" target="_blank">the top one-two per cent of Britain’s greatest minds</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The ex-England international is rightly proud of that standing, with his problem-solving ability being put to good use since <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/frank-lampard-celebrity-warning-coventry-draw-cardiff-first-game-manager/blt662dc12b2b15963b" target="_blank">making a move into management</a>. He does, however, take greater heart from the fact that his impressive score gives him bragging rights in the Lampard household.</p>

THE GOSSIP

<p>The 46-year-old has told <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/33624899/frank-lampard-smarter-christine-coventry-iq/ " target="_blank"><em>The Sun</em></a>: “It’s true, I do have an IQ of 150! I was tested at Chelsea in the aftermath of John Terry getting kicked in the head in the Carabao Cup final. Our doctor, who was Brian English at the time, made us do IQ tests to get us all a base-level IQ so we could be registered again if you had a concussion or a head injury.</p><p>“I just breezed it. Other people seem more interested in it than me. But I am quite proud of it. My score of 150 just beat my wife, Christine, which was the best thing about it. She was just below me. I don’t know the exact numbers but we were around the same. But I think she’s smarter than me — at least it feels that way in the house!</p><p>“It was a strange test. I’d never done one before. For whatever reason, I came out on top of it. That was my one and only IQ test. I retired after taking one, just in case it was a false test!”</p>

WHAT FRANK LAMPARD SAID

<p>Lampard is currently more concerned with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wayne-rooney-brutally-told-why-cant-compared-steven-gerrard-man-utd-liverpool-legends-warned-great-player-coach/blt0471e8e6ca71cb83" target="_blank">proving his sporting know-how</a>, as he looks to guide Coventry back towards the Premier League. Across his 20 games at the helm, 11 victories have been secured – with an impressive tally of points seeing the Sky Blues climb from relegation-threatened to fifth in the Championship table.</p>
