You have more brains than you could shake a stick at.
It is an old-time phrase that is a compliment. They're telling you that they think you are very smart.

It means the person saying this is unarmed in a battle of wits. Be nice to them. Offer them milk and cookies and see if there's an emergency contact pinned to some article of clothing.

It is a compliment.
More anything than you "can shake a stick at" means A LOT.

It's an old fashioned thing to say, not many people say that anymore. It's meant as a compliment, to say that you're brainy or smart.
