I need to point out that IQ isn’t a score. It’s a quotient. There are literally not enough people on earth for anyone to have an IQ of 210. There aren’t even enough for a single person to have an IQ of 202.
Sure? 🙂
Kim Ung-Yong (Korean: 김웅용; born March 8, 1962)[1] is a South Korean civil engineer and university professor. During his youth, he was recognized as a child prodigy with the highest recorded IQ on record, having scored above 210 on the Stanford–Binet Intelligence Scale.
Yes I’m sure because that’s how math works.
The alternative is that the test isn’t trustworthy in the upper and lower ranges (or at all), but that’s unpossible.
That’s not it. Your IQ isn’t the score on the test. It’s the score divided by the score of every in your age group multiplied by 100. It’s upper limit isn’t based on how well you did. It’s based on the population. That’s why it’s an IQ, Intelligence Quotient, not an IS, Intelligence Score.
It is mathematically impossible to get an IQ over 201 given the population of the planet. And that’s using the generous 16 point deviation most use the 15 point SD. That one allows for a maximum score of 195 with the current population.
You can find plenty of Redditors who tell you they’re over 300, I’m not impressed
