Which two words or phrases in this excerpt from Kurt Vonnegut's "Report on the Barnhouse Effect" portray Professor Barnhouse as an exceptional person?

He is godlike in neither appearance nor intellect. The man who disarms the world is single, shorter than the average American male, stout, and averse to exercise. His I.Q. is 143, which is good but certainly not sensational. He is quite mortal, about to celebrate his fortieth birthday, and in good health."
