Plot summary

George agrees to take an IQ test for his girlfriend's research, but, insecure about his intelligence, cheats by having Elaine—who boasts of a high IQ—take the test for him. Jerry becomes patronizingly concerned for the hapless proprietor of a new restaurant across the street. Jerry ego-trips off being lavished with praise for visiting the empty restaurant, while Elaine, visiting to take the test in peace, suffers many distractions that result in humiliation for both George and herself. Kramer is hounded by his mother's ex-boyfriend as he refuses to give up a jacket the ex-boyfriend left two years ago.
