What about Marilyn Vos Savant? She was in the Guinness Book of World Records for having an IQ of 228 in both childhood and adulthood. Why wasn't she included?
@@bigcolt5256 Case closed because you are an idiot with no factual basis. Many scientists nailed many problems. Feminism doesn’t work everywhere you simp.
Not so sure you can compare someone who can learn ( memorise really ) 40 languages with Tesla, who could visualise any 3d complex machine and run it in his imagination like some kind of autocad or computer engineering tool. For mine, Tesla's gifts were the greatest and not having him in this top ten is ridiculous. Good math will give you a high IQ and is one thing, but can that person apply it to physics as did Tesla?
@@georgechristoforou991 who can compare your IQ all doesn't come automatic you need to take some deep breath go through some procedure call mediation adopts to be work hard on it.
EXACTLY! As a chess player it annoys me whenever a woman beats a male GM in a game people immediately say she's better than him. Lower ranked players both male and female can occasionally win games against GMs, but it's consistency that counts over multiple games that determines rating.
my IQ is only 145.... and I have a really high GPA too... whenever I go to interview, the interviewers always say, "You have a high GPA"... and then start to disprove me by whatever methods and then prove that he is smarter than me, and then he will not hire me
With an IQ of 'only' 145, I would have thought you are clever enough to find ways around it? My neighbour also claim an IQ in your range and I know he is a bright boy but there isn't a conspiracy theory he doesn't belief in. Strange.

@@michaelgarrow3239 That's because, in your special case, rounding it to the closest integer would leave you with a zero. But I am glad you found some-one to help you make this comment. ;-)
This is why we should welcome a world in which socio-economic mobility is not only possible, but guaranteed, regardless of race. Think of all the brilliant minds worked to death in walmarts, meatpacking plants, and McDonalds etc...
Where do these huge IQs come from. I have beenin Mensa for years. The maximum IQ on their scale is162. These people must get tested using a different system or its just journalists making it up.
Yes I too was once a member of Mensa- gee pay $50 a year to "build paper dragon" of intelligence-so I USED in my IQ and put the $50 on a far more interesting group- Playboy online
The types of IQ tests vary a lot and there is still a lot of debate about exactly they are measuring. Ive never heard of anyone with an IQ of over 250 this sounds like rubbish to me.
I often wonder what my IQ would be if i had decent language skills. I breeze past any logic, puzzle, problem solving questions and fail horridly with anything word/language related. I guess it must be because i have aspergers. Give me problems to solve and i'll beat the pants of most people but ask me to explain it, i can't lol.
I took the Mensa IQ tests and did not score high enough to join Mensa, but I only took the tests to know my IQ. I scored in the 'Superior' or 'Above Average' range on both tests.
Absolutely, Marilyn Savant thinks it could be bad to get IQ tested in just everyone. People may think that it is hopeless if you're found to have a low score. The truth is there are IQ folks all over the show that don't know their abilities and fail to develope. And there are folks like you and me that with striving for excellence and with hard work (and few psychological hang ups ) can achieve a great deal of smarts. Forget about your IQ.
i agree...thesepeople would not have been successful in poor countries..astrophysicians, chessplayers, mathematicians. you need serious cognitives abilities.for sure.. of course it is useful in a very technological society... and that s it...it is a way to say technological societies are the best.;and i tend to agree..but... let s say you are on a deserted island or you want to colonized a new place;...who willyou take with you? einstein or a simple average joe? high iq people are the best to solve abstact problems..sure. when we say iq measures intelligence ..we are saying technological societies are the best as well. And, even if i don't agree with them, some people think technological societies are foolish..
What is the IQ of these people? Springer Bush (1890-1974) Claude Shannon Ivan Sutherland J.C.R. Lickrider Jay Wright Forester Wesley Clark Paul Baran Lawrence Roberts Donald Watts Davis Frank Hart Leonard Kleinrock John McCarthy Fernando Jose Corbat John George Kemeny Douglas Carl Engelbart Leonard Kleinrock (Packet Switching Theory) / Fernando Corbat (Time Sharing Systems) / Douglas Engelbart (Mouse, Hypertext) / Norman Abramson (Packet Radio Network) / Whitfield Diffie (Public Key Cryptography) ) / Kenneth Thompson (UNIX) / Vinton Cerf (TCP/IP) / Robert Metcalf (Ethernet)
This never happend in my life before! Today, Stephen Hawking died and it wasn't because of him, that I watch this Video now. What a coincident - I guess that's not a very pleasant experience ... anyway: RIP Stephen Hawking
You can be intelligent but character determines what do you do with this intelligence - is it going to be used for good or for greed? Such is the case of Kasparov that would sold Russia if he has the chance to....
There's a lot more to succeeding in life than IQ. Your EQ (people skills), along with what I like to call MQ (Moral Quotient) play a big role. Then there's your drive and determination which is probalby the most important one of all. Your looks and appearance along with a supportive family can also play a roll, along with the current economic climate, etc. Don't know why people focus so much on IQ.
You forgot? Number One: Evangelos Katsioulis, ADULT IQ 205 and cures cancer of the ... Souls( magic). He is known as a psychotherapist. Founder of the World Intelligence Network( WIN) .Do I need to say more? Also, a philosopher!
IQ is only 1/2 the story. Proof? My hubby has an IQ of 160's and cant get his dirty sox into the laundry basket or take a dish out of the dishwasher. He can fix, build, design or make just about anything but opening the dish washer is a real stumper for him.
Einstein might have lower IQ than most of these higher ones. The imagination of this man was beyond this world. His theories had ignited many to astronomical advances in physicists and astronomy fields.
Can you people stop commenting your IQ levels. You people need to understand that your achievements are not worth anything for people besides yourselves.
That is a good question. Depends on what type of intelligence? A technical intelligence which usually the IQ tests measure can be improved to some degree by being passionate and engaging technical and mathematical issues etc. But the creative intelligence comes from being in touch with oneself, so to speak, and cannot be quantified. Ultimately, while a high IQ may be important for some professions, what really matters is what ones does with one's IQ. It doesn't mean if someone has a high IQ that he will contribute anything significant to the world, nor that he is a better or extraordinary human. Our personality consists of many aspects like will, passion, vision, drive, wisdom, etc. What is that an IQ test actually measures? Does it measure consciousness itself? Not really...
First I have a question, Being that the American IQ test has a highest possible Score of 150, The European IQ test has a highest possible score of 160 and Mensa has a highest possible score of 183, how did these people get scores over 160??
Average people in southern India Speak English,Hindi, Urdu, Konkani and Espanol little bit. Also know to play chess also it doesn't mean that we are lack of nothin you Gona one this Philosophy, Physics, Astrology, Mathametics &Statistics and same of Psychological study of humans mind and Behaviour.
I guess I’m number 1. My IQ is 301 because I said so. See how dumb that is? If you think James Woods actually has an IQ of 180, or Ashton Kutcher has an IQ of 160, then you need to read more. Some of these humans listed are geniuses (IQ over 145), but it’s statistically impossible for humans to have an IQ over 200, especially if you understand “standard deviation” from the norm.
In the first place IQ tests are meaningless because the score depends on how old you are when you take the test. It's the ratio of your mental age to your chronological age x 100. If you take the test at 10 years and your mental age is 50 you would have an IQ of 500, so how is that possible? Beyond age 60 you would have to have a mental age of 120+ to score 200, and if you took the test at 120 your IQ couldn't be over 100 since no one has lived longer than that.
So was everyone in the world given a IQ test? Also they are so subjective it’s not even funny. I have taken one from a real trained $250/hr. reputable psychologist. I scored 141😂. Now I’m no dummy but that ranks me at the low end of genius, of which I assure you I am average.
