Intelligence along with street smarts is what is needed in today’s # world. Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is a measure, a score obtained from a test, measuring a person’s intelligence or how sharp their brain works. These tests are for certain areas like language fluency, 3 dimensional thinking, etc.
IQ scores are used as predictors of educational achievement, special needs, job performance and income. The average IQ of the population is 100 as many score between 70 and 130.
World’s 10 highest IQ holders are:..
10. Stephen Hawking (IQ 160)
Stephen William Hawking was born on 8th January, 1942 in United Kingdom. His IQ is 160.
He is devoted to the core fields of science and have worked on gravitational theorems in the
framework of general relativity, and many theoretical predictions on black holes stating that they emit radiations and known as hawking radiation. He attended Oxford University in 1959 when he was only 17 years old.
He was the first to explain the cosmology thesis by a union of the general theory of relativity and
quantum mechanics. He is a vocal supporter of the many- worlds interpretation of quantum
mechanics.
Stephen is a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, a lifetime member of the Pontifical Academy of
Sciences, and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom – the highest civilian award in the
United States.

He was born on 14th march 1879 in Germany. His IQ was estimated between 160 and 190.
The right handed physicist did his schooling from Germany. His devotion towards science started
with a compass that his father showed him. What made him work was reason behind what makes a compass needle move. Apart from physics, he had a keen interest in mechanics and
mathematics. He also applied for polytechnic colleges in Italy, but due insufficient grades he failed to get admission.
On the advice of the dean of the same, as he had exceptionally high grades in physics and
mathematics, he completed his secondary education from Switzerland.
He worked in the field of Quantum theory and was the one to develop the general theory of relativity which was the turning point in the field of science. He is also very well known for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2.
For his services to theoretical physics, and for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect thesis.
At an age of 76, he died on 17th April, 1955 due to some internal bleeding. His last words were
never known because the nurse with him didn't understand German.

8. Judit Polgar (IQ 170)
She was born on 23rd July 1976, in Hungary. With an IQ of 170, she is the strongest female chess player in history. She achieved the title of Grand-master when she was 15 years old and was the youngest to do so until then. She is the only
woman to have won a game from a current world number one player and has defeated former
world champions in either rapid or classical chess.
Her childhood went through a lot of struggle and chess as a specialized subject. Her father used to believe that if trained properly, anyone could be
a genius in any subject. Believing in her father, Judit fought with the Hungarian chess committee
as women were not allowed to play with men.
Based on similar grounds, she was not given the title of grandmaster even being nominated many
times.
With 2 sisters in her life, her childhood went under complete specialisation of chess with them
as her father appointed them for home schooling.
Trained in her early years by her sister Susan.
Judit was not the sister with the most talent, explaining "Judit was a slow starter, but very hard-working." Polgár described herself at that age as "obsessive" about
chess. She first defeated an International Master, Dolfi Drimer, at age 10, and a grandmaster, Lev
Gutman, at age 11.
In late 1986, ten-year-old Judit defeated 52-year- old Romanian International Master Dolfi Drimer in the Adsteam Lidums International Tournament in
Adelaide, Australia. Edmar Mednis said he played his best game of the tournament against Judit. "I
was careful in that game", he said.
"Grandmasters don't like to lose to 10-year-old girls, because then we make the front page of all the papers."
"I always say that women should have the self-confidence that they are as good as male players, but only if they are willing to work and take it seriously as much as male players" said Judith.
She has been the #1 rated woman in the world since 1989 (when she was 12 years old).
On August 13, 2014,
she announced her retirement from competitive chess.

7. Leonardo da Vinci (IQ 180 - 190)

curiosity” and “feverishly inventive imagination”.
He was extremely talented and dedicated to his work specially art.
He did an informal education in Latin, geometry and mathematics. His first painting was a monster
spitting fire. His famous artworks are Mona Lisa, the Last Supper, and the Vitruvian Man.
He was skilled as a painter, sculptor, architect, musician, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and
writer. Wow..

@op,u cant be so sure about Einstein being right handed

Is th is the end?

I really doubt Einstein had that high an IQ. I've read his biography. He was a genius but he wasn't awesome at tests.
