GENIUS I.Q.
What is Genius IQ and do YOU have the IQ of a genius?
What is a genius IQ? You may have taken an I.Q. test and be curious how your IQ score compares to
genius IQ scores. Fair enough. It's a good question. We all want to know how we measure up
to the best, and in this case, the brightest.
In The Complete Guide To Genius, a new system for training ordinary people
to attain genius IQ-levels of intelligence (see genius training), this is how IQ scores are broken down:
IQ score | Type of person with that score
70-
| Mentally handicapped individual
80-
| High school pupil/Minimum wage worker
90-110 | Degree
student/Decorator/High street worker/Joiner
120+
| Masters student/Manager/Journalist/Accountant/Professional
130+
| PhD student/Ivy league or Russel group student/Chief Executive
140+ |
University professor/Top government official/Gifted individual
160+
| Rhodes Scholar/Army General
170+ | Genius
So we can see from this that genius IQ is considered to be 170 and over. (Click link

 The Greatest Genius IQ?
Contender Number 1: Mega-Genius!
The greatest genius I.Q. score is alleged to have been achieved by Jim Diamond, aka "Mega-Genius". His
score of 200+ was achieved under the strictest conditions and using the best IQ testing system in the world.
Comparisons with other great geniuses of history are supposed to reveal that his genius IQ surpasses that of such
greats as Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, Bach, Sir Isaac Newton and a host of others. To be honest, when I
first heard about 'the man with the perfect IQ', I thought he was probably a charlatan. However, I recently ordered
his Genius Formula CDs and having listened to disk 1 just yesterday, I'm convinced this man has genius I.Q. and
knows more about what having a genius I.Q. really entails than anyone else I've read about or heard of.
 The Biggest Genius IQ?
Contender Number 2: Marilyn vos Savant
Hmm, seems we have another claimant to the highest-genius-IQ-ever throne. According to the biography
blurb on her website, Parade columnist Marilyn vos Savant was listed in the Guinness Book of
World Records for five years under "Highest IQ" for both childhood and adult scores. Her book, Brain
Power: The 12-Week Mental Training Program, claims that Marilyn 'has an IQ of 230, the highest ever
measured.' That sounds like quite a genius IQ to me!
Here is another Genius-IQ breakdown according to the WECHSLER ADULT
INTELLIGENCE SCALE (which Mega-Genius refers to as the best -- remember he was off the charts at over 200
Genius IQ), with IQ range of 20-to-130+:
