I've just watched that interview after reading the transcript. I agree with Typoz's assessment.
There's also no evidence of fraud, only incredulity on Alex's part. I can back up PMH on one point: IQ tests were standard practice when I was in primary school, at least at the (public) school I went to in South Africa. Our entire grade was tested in my third or fourth year of primary school. Those who tested high enough were offered the opportunity to participate in a programme for gifted kids at the local university. It's plausible to me, then, that enough people born from around or before the same time would know their IQ for PMH to have gathered those stats.
