Vinny!

scientific analysis of your question revealed the following...

"The classification of mental deficiency aroused a healthy debate in the early twentieth century, with the following classifications wining general acceptance:

idiots – who could not develop full speech an had mental ages below three;

imbeciles – who could not master written language and ranged from three to seven in mental age and;

high-grade defectives – the people who could be trained to function in society thereby establishing a bridge between pathology and normality (Gould, S., 1996). Goddard, the director of research at the Vineland Training School for Feeble-Minded Girls and Boys in New Jersey, coined his own label for the high-grade defectives, labeling them "morons" from the Greek meaning foolish."

No reference found for pinhead.

Therefore science rates as follows;

3. idiot
2. imbecile
1. high grade defective "moron"

pinhead does not get rated scientifically
