Most Intelligent: 15-17







#17: Lord Petyr Baelish, Game of Thrones

Baelish, nicknamed "Littlefinger," is Treasurer of the Seven Kingdoms. His intelligence is unrivaled, though Tyrion and Lord Varys often try. Because of spoilers (mainly for me, because I have not read the books and I don't want to see what happens to his character), I am not going to say much about his actions. Just watch the show.

Weakness: He is either very unclear about what he wants in the long run, or he does not know.












#16: Gustavo "Gus" Fring, Breaking Bad
This ruthless methamphetamine distributor's glare still sends chills down my spine. He is extremely precise and methodical in everything that he does, even the littlest most insignificant actions. He is extraordinarily careful in all he does and whom he chooses to work with. Like others on this list, Gus leads a double life. In addition to this, he also uses an alias, maintaining a past that nobody know anything of.

Weakness: Pride












#15: Peggy Olson, Mad Men
In a company, country, and world dominated by men, Olson defies them all by not only absorbing all the same criticism, raunchy chauvinistic jokes, low pay, and long hours that the other women endure, but by capitalizing on these slights. Peggy loathes the double-standards, but plays her role at times in order to stay on her path to success. While Don is extremely intelligent, his survival does not depend on his knowledge in the ever-changing advertisement industry to the degree that hers does.

Weakness: She lets her feelings get in the way, like almost jumping ship with Duck when she felt unappreciated.
