Other people with some of the highest IQs are Sho Yano, who had an estimated IQ of around 200 at 10 years old, and Adragon De Mello, who had a projected IQ of 400 and graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz at 11 years old, according to Reader's Digest.
Marilyn vos Savant (/ˌvɒs səˈvɑːnt/; born Marilyn Mach; August 11, 1946) is an American magazine columnist who has the highest recorded intelligence quotient (IQ) in the Guinness Book of Records, a competitive category the publication has since retired.
An IQ of 400 would be 20 standard deviations (300/15 =20) above the mean. This is a number so small (or rare) that it couldn't be computed. In Excel on a modern computer, the highest IQ(actually rarity) that can be computed is 220, which equates to 8 standard deviations above the mean or one in 150 trillion.
Bearing these caveats in mind, it is generally believed that the highest IQ score ever recorded is that of William James Sidis, who is believed to have had an IQ of between 250 and 300. This would place him in the top 0.000001% of the population in terms of intelligence.
Let's try to understand Elon's level of IQ now that we know the obvious answer to that question. Elon Musk has a 155 IQ, which is regarded as being quite high. He is therefore more creative and quick to find solutions to issues than most people.
No. We think the upper limits of intelligence are somewhere around 250 on a deviance scale normed to 100 and a standard deviation of 15 or 16. There's a difference in kind of intelligence and in brain organization/connectivity above 160, and we'd likely need another leap in kind of intelligence to get much past 250.
When a person possess an IQ of 1000, he/she would be: One can speak when one is 3 months old. One can recognize all kinds of colors when one is only 5 months old. One can read & recite pages of newspapers, booklets when one is 10 months old.
The genius child, Adhara Pérez Sánchez, has an IQ that beats Albert Einstein — whose IQ is estimated to be around 160.
115 to 129: Above average or bright. 130 to 144: Moderately gifted. 145 to 159: Highly gifted. 160 to 179: Exceptionally gifted. 180 and up: Profoundly gifted.
First an IQ of 10,000 is an impossibility, in the current system of reporting intelligence, and is therefore an intangible.
High genius is defined as a score between 165 and 179, while the ultimate genius has a score between 180 and 200. A genius with an IQ of more than 200 would be regarded as unreachable.
His score was the very highest that had ever been obtained. In terms of I. Q., the psychologist related that the figure would be between 250 and 300. Late in life William Sidis took general intelligence tests for Civil Service positions in New York and Boston. His phenomenal ratings are a matter of record.
Mark Zuckerberg: The co-founder of Facebook, Zuckerberg has an IQ estimated to be around 152. Elon Musk: The founder of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, and other companies, Musk has an IQ estimated to be around 155.
"Steve Jobs likely had an IQ roughly 160 or above. In Walter Isaacson's biography, near the end of 4th grade, Jobs was tested. Jobs said: 'I scored at the high school sophomore level. ' This means he was a 4th grader performing at the 10th grade level.
Professor Hawking, the theoretical physicist known for his work on black holes, is said to have had an IQ of 160.
First, it's not measurable. Someone with an IQ of 1 would not be able to take an IQ test. And even if they could, there is no test that could discriminate between scores at that level.
Furthermore, IQs of 200 would allow us to pursue activities and careers that most interest us, not just those we're mentally capable of, Haier said. We could master new languages in a few weeks, for example, or become brain surgeons.
IQ higher than 150 is 151 or more. IQ 151 is, in normal distribution, 3.4 standard deviations above average. From statistical properties of normal distribution, you can calculate that about 99.9663% of population is below this threshold, which means that about 0.0337% is on, or above it.
Nikola Tesla
Born during a lightning storm in 1856, Tesla had an IQ range from 160 to 310. He's known as the inventor of the Tesla coil and alternating current machinery.
For a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15 as on most IQ tests that means a person with an IQ of 200 is about 6.67 standard deviations above the mean. That means the odds of a given person having an IQ that high are about 1 in 1e20th.
Standard IQ tests place the mean at 100 with a standard deviation of 15. In the normal curve, a 200 or higher would occur with a probability of 0.000000069460300733404. With 7.5 billion people on earth, more or less, that would give you about 523 people.
