I stopped putting so much faith in IQ scores when I learned that Richard Feynman's IQ was just 125.

Richard Feynman - Nobel prize in Physics for the theory of quantum electrodynamics.

One of the coolest and smartest......ever.

A dubious number.

IQ tests aren’t designed to accurately measure the intelligence of people like Feynman.

In fact, they are seldom accurate for people more than about 1.5 standard deviations from the mean in either direction.
