The same way the two twins play off each other so well, a little bit of Mabelishness would make Dipper a more well-rounded person and vice versa for Mabel.

Mabel is a drooling moron, no caveats.
No, she is not secretly smart and just covering it up with a goofy facade, she's just a brainless cretin. If Hirsch wanted to communicate intelligence, he failed miserably.
Imo, dipper never seems that much smarter, he just had different interest. There are also different types of intelligence, ie the book smart/social smart. But I think it's probably more of the former than latter
It's not cope to say there are different types of intelligence. Anything cognitive that a brain can be better or worse at doing independent of other aptitudes is a form of intelligence.
Being better at absorbing social queues and rules by osmosis and getting people to like you is a form of intelligence. She's noticeably ahead of Dipper there. Dipper however is obviously smarter in pretty much all the ways people mean when they call someone smart. He obviously gets higher grades. Just on the most basic level Dipper knew what the Soviet Union was while Mabel probably doesn't
Mabel is written very weirdly in that she always does dumb shit and then it somehow turns out great and she learns to never doubt herself again.
I guess it makes her smart because when you have plot armor like that, how can you ever be stupid.
Dipper thinks a lot about what golds will think of him, he's more likely to do something stupid just because the nice guys do. Mabel chooses her own path without outside influences, this is emotional intelligence. Watch the episodes of Halloween and the episode when teens break into that haunted convenience store!
>Mabel chooses her own path without outside influences, this is emotional intelligence
Literally the biggest frick up in the series, causing an actual apocalypse, was due to her acting out of emotion and being influenced.
Dipper is more easily influenced. If intelligence is the talent of getting what you want without getting yourself into shit, I guess Mabel is smarter. She's a brain dead airhead, though.
Not even close. Even if you're trying to make it about emotional/social intelligence, mabel is still shitbrained because she lacks the empathy to say no to her fantasy bubble while the rest of the world is in danger.
Anyone saying "mabel has more social intelligence" show me a single piece of evidence for this. She's unable to function without dipper and she's the one who gets bullied by her peers, not him. People just parrot this because it seems like mabel SHOULD be more socially intelligent, but in reality it's not the case.
Hard to say. It could be that she has the same potential for intelligence but is too lazy to apply it. On the other hand just because Dipper acts like a nerd doesn't necessarily mean he's actually smart. So instead of it being a situation where she is actually as smart as he is, it might be that he is actually as dumb as she is. Also they're 12, so things might start to even out once they shake off the moronation of childhood.
He is definitely a bit nerdy and scientifically smart.
He definitely knows his Newtonian physics, including things like wind speed etc.
As a contrast he is apparently not really that life smart, which means social skills and thinking outside of the box. This is more mabel's part, crazy ideas and just trying things.
Like in how devises this complex plan but does not think of the like dozens easier solutions like catching the damn ball or not throwing at all (still better than hitting her in the eye).
This also presents him as a bit stubborn, once focused he wants to get that throw right and does not see the alternatives anymore.
They're pretty clearly supposed to parallel Stanley and Stanford, where each of them is smart in their own way, but they fricked up and forgot to make Mabel smart in any way.
No, Dipper is one of those punks who takes the test over and over until he scores "Good Enough" with a low 130's.
When it comes to being a person?
Dipper is so much more emotionally and intellectually stunted than Mabel. How many external friends does he have? What is he researching other than his conspiracies?
We see the show through his eyes but honestly he knows basically nothing. He's a great audience stand-in because we know everything he knows and have the same Two-Dimensional personality.
Nah
Mabel is moronic
He has to say that because he was the Mabel in his twin duo, his sister is the smart one
I would say yeah, they both make stupid choices half the time. Dipper is definitely better at academics though Mabel seems more clever sometimes
True
No, her absolutely mogging her is a plotpoint in the size-changer-whatever-inator episode.
>Mabel seems more clever sometimes
Can't see how.
*him absolutely mogging her
Mabel seems socially and artistically smarter; whereas Dipper seems academically smarter
Mabel is smarter than Dipper
yea, mabel big squishy heavy wet pink wrinkle brain in her big head saids so.
Yeah, probably
But they're smart in different ways and stupid in different ways
The same way the two twins play off each other so well, a little bit of Mabelishness would make Dipper a more well-rounded person and vice versa for Mabel.
What?
not at all
They both make stupid mistakes, Dipper is just the more traditionally intelligent one.
LOL
LMAO
Mabel isn't 'intelligent' in literally a single way.
She's not book smart, she's not street smart, she's not emotionally smart, she's not *anything* smart. This is the biggest cope i have ever seen.
She is emotionally smart with how she manipulated everyone like her brother to cater to her

Good lord hirsch is a walking failure
Unless he meant to say dipper is a mental moron

I wanted to b***hslap her so hard across her dumb face before it was cool.
Mabel has more social awareness, Dipper has more academic prowess and emotional maturity.
Yes
Mabel is with no doubt bordering in mental moronation, both intellectually and emotionally
Dipper is Malcolm in the Middle and Mabel is female Spongebob.
made for corruption
id sooner belive Dipper and Mabel and Hirsch were of equal height
Mabel is written very weirdly in that she always does dumb shit and then it somehow turns out great and she learns to never doubt herself again.

Dipper is smarter, but Mabel has better social skills.

lol no she doesn't, many episodes are based on her trying to hook up with boys.

People boil over Mabel, as since she is technically the older twin, he should be more mature, but that's ridiculous!

People just parrot this because it seems like mabel SHOULD be more socially intelligent, but in reality it's not the case.
Mabel has a weird plot armor that makes her terrible ideas work. Like in Love God episode.
Slightly lower rate of life-threatening supernatural frickups.
Dipper is kind of a dumb frick so I buy it.

On the other hand just because Dipper acts like a nerd doesn't necessarily mean he's actually smart.

Ford caused the apocalypse not Mabel!
No
>managed to get everything she wanted and never suffered any consequences
Sounds pretty smart to me.
that's just being a woman pal

Mabel has the social skills that Dipper lack though. Those are like the last traces of whatever skills she was once supposed to have probably.
>Mabel has the social skills
she has the social skills that the average person has. no idea why people are calling it intelligent
When it comes to IQ?
No, Dipper is one of those punks who takes the test over and over until he scores "Good Enough" with a low 130's.
