I wonder how his high IQ will play into his politics, when he grows up?

Albert Einstein eschewed capitalism and spoke favorably of socialism, so that should show that a high IQ doesn’t automatically translate into a rational mind.

I’ll take Ayn Rand over Einstein any day.

So what’s the way an average IQ is arrived at today? It used to be 100 plus your age.

Sorry, don’t buy it.

We really have no accurate way to measure intelligence.

If this kid grows up and accomplishes 1/10 of what Einstein did, then he will be very great.

Same IQ as Sharon Stone and James Woods.

Bibi Netanyahu is 180. Off subject but can you imagine being Bibi and trying to hold a high level conversation with Barky?

Sherwyn Sarabi scored an IQ of 160, just like Albert Einstein, Bill Gates, and Stephen Hawking.

IQ numbers have absolutely no meaning what so ever.

There is no such thing as off the charts.

Because of variations in test Standard Deviations,
IQs are calculated in Percentile of population.
The highest is 99.9%ile.

The bell curve associated with IQ testing is merely
a hypothetical construct.

Many believe it is a trimodal distribution.

iq doesn’t mean everything.

lots of smart folks believe incorrect things. it doesn’t guarantee you’ll use your potential properly.

i’ve scored 140-144 on my iq tests. if i fill my head with crap and wrong ideas it does me no good.

Makes you wonder how many other high IQ individuals were aborted. I read somewhere that cures could have been found for HIV and other diseases if children had not been aborted.

a 160 IQ at 4 means the kid isn’t eating paste... or many other kids are

For such smart people to compare to they sure don’t know the difference between right and wrong and theft of personal property.

Been a long time since I tested kids, but I do recall that different exams had different IQ scales - while the old WISC-R topped out at 160, I seem to remember the Stanford-Binet going well into the 170’s - better know the specific test and version before making facile comparisons.....

Just as likely to end up a sociopathic freak as a socially touted genius.

A great many of Mensa’s finest find only discontent and disillusionment.
