#MicraMonday Commercial with Jim Parsons for the. new Nissan Micra.

Cuoco may have been a more established actor than Parsons was at the start of TBBT, but it was her who learned about acting from Parsons the most. In an interview with Variety, she explained how amazing of an actor Parsons was. “The stuff he did on that show was an out-of-body experience," she said.

Cooper in real life I'm dr. Sheldon Cooper vsms ma PhD and SCD have you ever met a real-life Sheldon Cooper penny. I'm a physicist. I have a working knowledge of the entire universe.

They learned a lot from each other and became close friends. In real life, Parsons and Cuoco were just as close.

According to the producers of The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper isn't actually autistic.

187 He has a genius-level IQ of 187. In The Big Bang Theory, it is said that his and Leonard's IQs add up to 360, and Leonard says his is 173. In Young Sheldon, his mother says that he has the same IQ as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking, though neither is known to have taken an IQ test.

There it is explicity stated that the creators did not think of him as asexual. Of all the main characters of the show, Sheldon is presumed to be asexual and has displayed the least interest in pursuing a sexual relationship with anyone. He tries to avoid all human physical and emotional contact.

The actors, of course, did not, but they did date exclusively for two years, from 2008 to 2010. In fact, much of the authenticity in their relationship onscreen was driven by the love and respect Cuoco and Galecki shared in real life.

Some viewers have asserted that Sheldon's behavior is consistent with the classification of the autism spectrum that used to be known as Asperger's syndrome. The writers have stated that they did not use it as a basis for the character, but instead thought of his actions as "Sheldony".

On further inspection, however, one can see that underlying Sheldon's intellectual genius are autistic traits [1]. In the DSM-IV, a clinician could provisionally diagnose Sheldon with Asperger's Disorder.

180 Amy Farah Fowler A neuroscientist by profession, Amy is one of the most accomplished individuals in the show. Though her IQ is never explicitly stated, she probably has an IQ of 180. At the end of the show, she also won a Nobel Prize for her research.

IQ Score: 110 Penny is clever and resourceful. She can find ways to keep herself afloat while trying to become an actress, and when that doesn't pan out, she discovers that she is incredibly capable as a pharmaceutical rep. She is of slightly above average intelligence, which places her around 110 (via Medicine Net).
