I've always loved that while Jimmy is able to invent things, the writers never forgot that he is a child and isn't rational

[@beeppboopp]

Yeah exactly. I think this explains a lot of the "stupidity" Jimmy has. Jimmy has extremely high intelligence, but his social awareness just isn't really there yet because he is in fact, still a child. Characters like this are usually pretty nuerodivergent-coded as well, which would also explain some.

[@ptolemyhenson6838]

Intelligence is not the same thing as wisdom. Jimmy has to be incredibly intelligent and creative to build what he does, but he does not have much knowledge about how that intelligence can be applied safely. He realizes that many of his inventions go wrong, which is probably why he restricts them to personal use most of the time (where he is completely in control), but he is always able to resolve issues when they inevitably do come up, which shows high problem solving skills and performance under pressure. Limiting Jimmy's potential is not the best for Retroville.

[@justinrivera1618]

[@SteveElOtaku]

Jimmy is a genius on paper, but he is held back by the fact that he is still an elementary school kid, who has probably been -told- he's smart a bit too often, and like any kid he still has a bit of an ego. What Darkwing Duck is to superheroics, Jimmy is to science; both are technically competent individuals, with exceptional ability in their fields...held back entirely by their own hubris, lack of social graces, and the fact both don't always know when to quit.

[@silvertongue.242_99]

Ummm I don't think he got his ego because ppl keep telling him he's smart. He got a ego because he thinks he is special and uses that to justify his actions. He also thinks ppl will like him just for his intellect or what he can create for them. His intelligence is what makes him have an ego

@@ladymacbethofmtensk896 I get what you're saying but its worded incorrectly, the big three are: Knowledge, the capacity of knowing a lot of things really well; Intelligence/IQ, the ability to solve problems efficiently in a creative way, and wisdom, the experience of having knowledge behind a situation, and using a high level of intelligence to apply that knowledge properly. It is possible to have both knowledge and intelligence like jimmy, but he lacks the wisdom of how to properly apply them to his situations.

There's a reason why the word "boy" comes first in boy-genius. Regardless of intelligence and mechanical aptitude he's still a kid so it does make sense that his priorities and decision making are juvenile.

[@Raphe9000]

I don't know why your humor just lands so well for me. I swear I'm dying every time one of these vids comes out.

[@RoninCatholic]

Jimmy's technical intelligence comes from the Neutron side, but his occasional common sense comes from his mom's side and is gradually tempered by his own life experience. He's still a kid, even with great skills at mathematics, mechanics, etc. Judy on several episodes demonstrates a very good grasp of advanced science and science jargon. She knows her stuff and is a sensible, serious woman and homemaker as well. Smart in a "normal smart person" way rather than "cartoon mad scientist" way.

[@Kalizoid]

I remember seeing this one scene from the show, though my memory is hazy on how it actually happened. Jimmy was explaining something about one of his inventions and how there was a flaw he wasn’t aware of or something? But then his mother explains the issue in such perfect in depth detail that it leaves both Jimmy and Hugh with a shocked expression. I don’t remember if that’s 100% how it went, but ever since that scene, I always believed the genius must come from his mothers side of the family.

[@evanchismark3092]

Oh. Do you mean "See Jimmy Run"?

[@omegahaxors9-11]

8:52 that's actually got a lot of parallels to his nemesis; a scientist who can never finish his inventions but has no problems getting what he wants even with his work being incomplete due to planning better. Still loses to Jimmy's quick thinking, though.

I always saw Jimmy Neutron sorta like Dexter’s Laboratory except Jimmy acts more like an actual kid and his lab and stuff isn’t a secret.

I'd like to imagine that Jimmy doesn't try to turn a profit from his inventions because his parents instilled him with the morality to not do so. As for the electricity bills, I'd imagine Jimmy found/made and uses his own power source separate of his home, which is why his parents are okay with his lab. Compare that to fellow boy genius of the time, Dexter, who kept his lab a secret, partially because he knew it ran the bill to extremes

[@tenminutevideoempire8048]

I always found it funny how in the episode “Men at Work” they need to find jobs to be able to get the money to buy gold to fuel some jet pack helmets. I mean, Jimmy has so much stuff in his lab to start a business to make money off of. Or even just selling his ideas to companies and taking the quick cash. With everything he has I’m shocked he doesn’t use that to make money. Heck how does he even afford half the stuff in his lab he uses to make his inventions? He can afford to build functioning rockets but can’t buy a few ounces of gold. And also, who uses gold as fuel when there are much cheaper and more efficient alternatives. Those helmets last maybe a minute tops while his jet pack and rockets can go for much longer and he can apparently afford to fuel those. Also in the very same episode he has enough money to upgrade McSpankys with robotics and new furniture and decorations but he still needs that job to make money? I love this show but sometimes Jimmy makes absolutely no sense lol. On a side note, there are several episodes where Jimmy wants to get rich, like the asteroid ruby one and the one where he convinces his dad to invest in McSpankys. Whenever I watch those, I just have to facepalm because I know there is so many alternate ways for him to get rich that those shouldn’t even be plot points. Also apparently he can’t afford encyclopedias.

Jimmy is a great example of a high intelligence, low wisdom character. He’s extremely intelligent in science, mathematics, and how to apply that understanding. However, he is also reckless, often going through with a plan just because he can, before considering if he should, and his inability or unwillingness to think things through before beginning a project are all indicative of a low wisdom score. I often will use Jimmy as an example when trying to explain the difference between Intelligence and Wisdom

The two brothers are the smartest of all the genius kids in the world. They also got nobel prizes in the future, and made people's lives better because they have better planning. This is something that Doof and Jimmy lack, but they also lack of one of the most important things in the world: luck.
