L has great proficiency of his motor skills showing great intelligence in kinesthetics disclosed by his martial arts fight with Light, brief mainstay as a tennis champion for 5 years, and is known to be quite athletic. I do not see how he had trouble with a rudimentary concept of tying shoes if he is quite adept at the more complicated activities I have listed.

L has also been praised for his analytical skills, scored a 10/10 in creativity on his stats, and even though he meticulously second guesses almost everything, his deductions border on clairvoyant. Light asked the guy "You know how to fly choppers?" and L replies something alone the lines of "everything has its pattern" implying he did not read manuals or take classes, but on the sheer perception of patterns, is able to logically arrange every function. His IQ is in the gifted range at the VERY LEAST, but many say it's 167-168.

"All we know is that he's good at covering up his low intelligence with his advanced vocabulary, way of speaking, his constant attention to detail, charismatic personality, his pattern recognition skills and creativity, and his enhanced memory capabilities." This is exactly what shows that he has extraordinary intelligence. He has even been compared to IQ over 200 Shikamaru, and it has been said by an overwhelming majority that L has shown greater feats of intelligence and deduction and that he would beat him in a game of chess or shouji. Even Ohba when asked which character he thought was the smartest, Ohba actually replied "L. because the plot requires it."

Second, L if anything comes closer to Sheldon Cooper if anything. Both are extremely intelligent, both 'probably' has asperger's syndrome', both have an eidetic memory, he is obsessive compulsive in some areas, and he has another way of looking at things.

"My guess is L Lawliet's IQ is between 70-80 and the same with Nate River, which is below 'standard intelligence'." He carries himself as a sometimes conceited individual, he has control over himself, he is analytical and creative, he has enhanced memory to ameliorate his crystallized knowledge, and so far, he has sometimes shown himself to be independent and able to take care of himself, and last but not least, he has shown that he is intelligent as most of the people on that list. He cannot be below-standard but rather exceeds it easily.
