Wesley Crusher's IQ is never directly stated on Star Trek: The Next Generation, so there is no definitive answer. However, in the episode "Where No One Has Gone Before", Wesley is referred to as a "genius-level" intellect by the Traveler, a character who has the ability to manipulate space-time.

In an interview in May 2006, Berman revealed the actress was fired at end of the first season of The Next Generation because head writer Maurice Hurley "had a real bone to pick" and did not like her acting.
