BUT it is interesting to see Isaac Newton on the list, one of the people I admire the most. Took a test and scored close to 140 (European model) but do not consider myself a genius by any means.

I still scored a 116, which is modest mind you, although it did well below my last attempt of 128 a year ago through another site. This was fun and highly entertaining. What a great way to start the day! Thanks so much. Regards I felt like an idiot on the last question as it was so obvious yet I took so much time trying to figure it out and the answer was so simple.

It renders the whole assessment an academic process - I think all people are born with equal intelligence, I mean it's great that Kim Ung Yong sits at the top of the list and had a phd by age 16 but what has he really achieved with his superior intellect? Estimations of Einsteins iq put it at 160 and yet he was able to accomplish great marvels, other great intellects who accomplish humanities greatest scientific/mathematical and philosophical achievements (i.e. our greatest thinkers) don't even appear on the lists!

Its the ability to understand your own and other peoples emotions.Basically how well u can figure someone out....so if your trying to figure someone out...then your trying to solve a problem..dontcha think? Therefore it's no different than mathematical, problem solving..like u would do on an iq test.

This test seems similar to the performance IQ of the WASI. My IQ is 10 pts lower on this test that it is on the WASI. Could be the lack of sleep, and no coffee. :) I was disappointed to say the least. I scored high on the GRE (96th and 93 percentile) of the population of GRE test takers which like the SAT is proxy for IQ. I administer IQ tests all the time.

First, I don't think that Chris Langan's IQ is as high as he reports it to be. He provides very little evidence for his claim. His wife is a clinical psychologist and he can easily have practiced the IQ test that he took on television with her beforehand. Second, Marilyn vos Savant is brilliant but she herself admits that IQ scores are silly. You should check out another list of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/top-ten-smartest-living-people---smartest-people-alive/ofey" title="smartest people alive" rel="nofollow">Top 10 Smartest Living People</a>. I don't actually agree with the people on that list either, but those are at least prominent scientists and so forth, John! I think the problem with that list is that it misses Stephen Hawking, who your list has. Anyway, nice list. A couple of points.

The only thing ure doing is contributing in spreading rumours! If u dont even have a clue how theyve came up with the IQ, just skip it! Otherwhise u just seem like a fool urself.
