i actually dont think wheatley is a moron like- hes clearly kind of klutzy and airheaded and not neurotypical at All but hes not stupid per se- he does know how to get around the back end of aperture, and even the seemingly stupid things he does has some kind of sense behind it, like when hes "hacking" the door- of COURSE hed talk to the computer, everything in aperture is AI-ified!!
like i know these are all observations other people put out there before me and more intellectually than me but im just stating my thoughts on the matter, i dont think hes stupid, he just doesnt know a lot of things that he had no way of knowing ABOUT, and in his desperation to prove hes smart and capable to the person who insulted and demeaned him, made stupid mistakes. but that doesnt mean hes inherently stupid
also wrt wheatleys iq: 1) that drawing that shows that he has an iq of iirc 70 is fanmade and 2) iq is an innacurate measure for intelligence which has history in eugenics so!
