Previous IQs: Did the same actor play you and his once-appearing dead brother? - William Shatner played James T. Kirk and his brother Sam: [George Samuel Kirk | Memory Alpha | Fandom](http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/George_Samuel_Kirk) Were you a scientist who advised President Truman on alternative uses of the A-bomb? - Oppenheimer later had second thoughts, but didn’t thus advise Truman. This was James M. Conant. Were you a longtime CIA spycatcher eased out by President Ford? - Hoover worked at the FBI, not the CIA, and was dead by then anyway. This was James Jesus Angleton. James x3! DQs: Male? American? Last name start with J? IQs: Was your last codename LANCER? Were you that person’s spouse? Did your elder sister become ambassador to Japan? ---
