People With the Highest IQ

onemansblog.com — I decided to mosey on over to the Interwebs and find a list of people with the highest IQ ever measured, and lo and behold I couldn’t find one! So for the sake of future searchers, I compiled the following information. Enjoy.

  • inactive, on 11/14/2007, -6/+247WTF...I was reading about Kim Ung-yong (210 IQ) and he was doing differential calculus at the age of THREE??? Man when I was 3, I was still eating my own *****.
  • Bolko, on 11/10/2007, -4/+149My IQ is 12 inches long.
  • Zoctogon, on 11/10/2007, -0/+73They forgot Alakazam...
    IQ of 9,000
  • jmpeagle, on 11/13/2007, -2/+67sweet! I only have mild mental retardation.
  • inactive, on 11/14/2007, -7/+69wait, when i was three, i never ate *****. nor do any other three year siblings of my friends. *steps away in the opposite direction*
  • ferrell, on 11/10/2007, -0/+50But, but..Tickle.com said my IQ was 165!!!
  • sounditout, on 11/09/2007, -1/+47Don't you just love the online IQ test at the end? I was almost tempted
  • sladek, on 11/10/2007, -0/+45But on the simpsons Stephen Hawking says his IQ is 280
  • iheartjebus, on 11/10/2007, -4/+47mensa is for people that are stupid enough to think they need some sort of validation of their intelligence.
  • TerrorByteX, on 11/09/2007, -2/+43You mean the one where you spend an hour doing it only to find out you have to sign up and give them your soul to receive the results?
  • LiquidIse, on 11/09/2007, -0/+32Its over 9000
  • ZenMojo, on 11/09/2007, -1/+31George W. Bush's IQ is supposedly 115. Then again, his grades from Yale are supposedly C's even though he has grades in the low 2.0's.

    And, to be honest, Mensa's full of boring people. Just buy a t-shirt and call it a day.
  • stackered, on 11/14/2007, -2/+28when I was three I was getting force-fed my own urine =(
  • inactive, on 11/09/2007, -4/+30uhh, they forgot masi oka, hiro from heroes. he has a recorded IQ of 180. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/04/arts/television/ ...
  • OneLess, on 11/14/2007, -1/+26Definitely click on the link to Christopher Langan (#2). He's a bouncer in some bar, and judging by the videos included in the blog post, thinks he can solve the world's problems if we will just let him implement eugenics and rule the world with a high-IQ oligarchy.
  • finista, on 11/09/2007, -2/+24The graph doesn't extend to negatives.
  • breily, on 11/09/2007, -0/+21http://duggmirror.com/offbeat_news/People_With_the ...
  • Kenzan, on 11/09/2007, -4/+22I.Q. as a means to determine precise quantification of intelligence has been thoroughly debunked decades ago, people.
  • Genjeta, on 11/09/2007, -1/+18ITS OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111
  • gudnbluts, on 11/14/2007, -1/+17That genuinely sounds like manic depression (bi-polar if you're American) to me. My Dad's pretty damn smart, and when he was on his manic stages that's the sort of stuff he'd come out with.
  • nerdherder, on 11/12/2007, -0/+15Thats nothing. Make it do the Macarena.
  • lhbaker, on 11/09/2007, -0/+15That's a great score! Now go get my slippers. Good dog!
  • Anub1s, on 11/09/2007, -3/+18He's bringing up the rear with a steady IQ of 18.
  • inkyblue2, on 11/09/2007, -0/+15well, now we know that you can have an IQ of 196 and still suck at web design.
  • inactive, on 11/09/2007, -2/+15If you have successfully completed college with a degree in a technical field, there's a strong chance that you can make Mensa. Take their "workout" test and see how well you do

    I'm willing to bet more than half of diggers could qualify based on this thing.
  • AKilla, on 11/09/2007, -2/+14only on digg can someone out-geek someone else and earn peoples' respect in the process.
  • whatthefu, on 11/10/2007, -5/+17To be fair, IQ tests are the most unreliable and worthless pieces of ***** you have to pay for.
  • yagran, on 11/10/2007, -2/+14I cant believe he didn't put on Stephen Fry. Isn't his IQ around 170?
  • ZenMojo, on 11/09/2007, -0/+12No one mentions the downside of high IQ. Mental instability for one....
  • gn0stik, on 11/09/2007, -0/+12Yes Lenny, you did fine, now put that dirty mouse down, and cook those beans like I told ya, ya big dummy.
  • skyfire1, on 11/09/2007, -0/+12I got 65. Did I do good?
  • stigma15, on 11/09/2007, -1/+12IQ's aren't anywhere near the end-all, be-all watermark of intelligence. They can give a general idea about someone's problem-solving skills, but most people see it as a dick-measuring contest. There are an infinite number of variables at work in the human brain. No test could even hope to measure everything at work in the mind.
  • Subterfug, on 11/10/2007, -0/+12115 while above average is not spectacular. And school grades are in no way an indication of intelligence.
  • zachshmack, on 11/10/2007, -1/+12No, but it's a pretty good indication of work ethic...
  • Error601, on 11/09/2007, -0/+10There was sure a lot of "alleged" ones in there.
  • brutimus, on 11/09/2007, -0/+10Put your list on Wikipedia
  • tyywebb, on 11/14/2007, -0/+10He's not obligated to do *****.
  • westondeboer, on 11/09/2007, -6/+15where is george bush on there? He did get a war started all by himself!
  • MicrosoftBob, on 11/10/2007, -0/+9Just sneak it to Elaine out the window and you'll do fine.
  • Eleo, on 11/09/2007, -0/+9What, I hated that guy. He had a subtle sort of arrogance to him. Also, he spoke a lot of absurd borderline-religious philosophy, which really made me start to second-guess how intelligent he was.
  • inactive, on 11/14/2007, -0/+9Which rap artist are you?
  • drpaidout, on 11/09/2007, -4/+13You know the great thing with this article?

    High IQ probably has jack ***** to do with how much money you make! AWESOME!
  • Fabbyfubz, on 11/09/2007, -0/+8Smartest guy in America is a bouncer.
  • vawksel, on 11/09/2007, -1/+9No, almost all IQ tests are biased high to make you feel good. Stop taking online IQ tests, and even funnier paying money to take them.

  • schoate09, on 11/14/2007, -2/+10I see what you did there, you referenced another Digg story from today!
  • Flame15, on 11/10/2007, -2/+10You've scored below average on all the ones you've taken, haven't you?
  • ImTheChaz, on 11/14/2007, -6/+13Your not alone, those girls at two girls 1 cup are still doing it.
  • inactive, on 11/09/2007, -0/+7He used to be smart:

  • inactive, on 11/09/2007, -0/+7This list is utter garbage without the inclusion of me! Dugg down
  • jmpeagle, on 11/09/2007, -1/+8no, they didn't. The list of people with 180+ IQs is thousands upon thousands long. They just listed a few, not everyone that scored that high.
