TIL that with an IQ of over 200 Christopher Langan has been called one of the world’s smartest men. He worked as a bouncer for over 20 years, has completed no major academic pursuits, and believes 9/11 was a false flag meant to distract the public from his mathematical theory proving God’s existence

Nice proof that IQ isn’t a measure of value.
Sven Rudloff
First up, there are no IQ tests that can reliably measure extra high IQs, and there are some that do not use the standard IQ scale with a mean of 100 and SD of 15 - so IQs beyond 150 can mean anything and nothing. Second, an IQ test only measures intelligence as defined by the author of the test. Being good in an IQ tests may mean you are a quick thinker but not necessarily an „intelligent“ person.
