>> his IQ is higher than Einstein’s

Yeah, but what about Lorentz’ IQ?

What makes so many presume that the IQ of such men could be accurately gauged?

I believe creativity is the unsung hero in the IQ space. And without a legacy of effort by others who’ve failed would the products of rewarded IQ be possible. Not to steal the well deserved thunder from great minds, but is IQ ever measured in a vacuum free of knowledge?

It does seem ridiculous for academic IQ-test-writers to presume that they can create tests that will accurately measure the abilities of people dramatically smarter than themselves.
