Patrick Bateman Iq downgrade

His current justification sounds like it:

Intelligence: Gifted (Graduated from Harvard Law School, skilled serial killer and extreme manipulator. Knows how to get away with many crimes. He’ll plan ahead to try and cover his tracks via planting evidence as well as hiding his tracks)

The problem that he has no feats on such level. Being graduated from law school is not enough for Gifted, not to mention that he most likely did it via contacts and status, rather then intellectual capacities, like how he constantly does it to cover his crimes with help of lawyer. He does nothing on his job. His absolute best feats is deceiving people withing his enviroment, but said people are pretty dumb and just careless towards what happens around. Literally biggest idea of American
Psycho is how people within modern society degenerated and became completely apathical to each other (For example they frequently mistakens each other) and they simply ignored Patrick's psychotic behavior (Like his fiance).

He also did several dumb decisions in the book (Such as stabbing children in crowd)

Here I'm suggesting new description:

Intelligence: Above Average (Is quite intelligent person despite his insanity, is able to manipulate own peers and get aways from crimes, though he primary does it through nepotism and own status, as well as due to apathy of people around)
