IQ as a measure of genius is a much-debated topic in the world of neuroscience and psychology. The idea of ranking historical geniuses based on a hypothetical IQ test is entertaining but ultimately flawed. Current methods of estimating IQ based on SAT scores are utilized, with Einstein’s potential IQ estimated to be around 120-130. The validity of high IQ scores, especially above 140, is called into question due to the variability and unreliability of IQ tests. Noted psychologist Anne Roe’s unconventional study of Nobel Prize winners and their IQ scores raises doubts about the accuracy of such assessments. Ultimately, high IQ scores may not accurately reflect true intelligence.
