It was obviously not 160 plus humility.

Hey, I'm just having a bit of fun. But joking aside: Personally I believe that most of the research concerning the IQ is junk science. The fact that Marilyn vos Savant has an IQ of above 200 is trivia, but little more. The same goes for the discussion of "national IQs".

While it is true that there are truly gifted people who are quicker to recognize patterns and have a deeper, more intuitive understanding of things (and while these people as children deserve a special learning environment), I find it a bit ridiculous to try and put that into a single score. Also many of Lynn's conclusions are anecdotal or speculative at best.

But hey, the topic's a great discussion starter ;-).
