[A]pparently fans of Beyonce, Jay Z and Justin Timberlake are officially not very bright. According to research carried out by PhD student Virgil Griffiths, there’s a correspondence between low IQs and a liking for pop and R&B, with Beyonce fans doing particularly badly on school and college tests.
