He was born on 13th April, 1963 in Soviet Union, Russia. He has an outstanding IQ of 194. He is a Russian chess grand - master, a
former World Chess Champion, a writer and a political activist, considered by many to be the

He won his first championship which was Soviet Union Junior Chess championship, by the age of 13 years. In 1985 he won the first
title of world championship in Moscow by earning twelve and a half points. He officially retired from major chess tournaments, on 10th March 2005. He also played against and got defeated by a supercomputer opponent
that can calculate 200 million moves in every second.

Ha ha ha ha

The brightest mind that ever walked the surface of the earth , followed by Albert Einstein

sexylogan: isnt it funny that the worlds richest people and most powerful leaders dont have high IQs?

i guess being intelligent doesnt necessarily translate to Naira and Kobo...

Yes nah!, cos all these "geniuses" are busy playing chess, solving advanced calculus or travelling to space - basically, sh*t that don't matter in the real world

Wow! Actually, I have an I.Q of 3,760. Thats just an estimation by the way cos the machine that was measuring my I.Q malfunctioned when it got to 3500.
But before you proceed you must have at least half my I.Q. Then we are good to go.

diiiiipo: From what I can see from the list, IQ doesn't buy wealth.

Its not meant to buy wealth. It earned them honor.

Or is/was any of them poor?

This is ojoro, i no gree, y african no go dey on dat list...@op, u beta correct this ur list or else...

WoodcrestMayor: Who bin measure Da Vinci IQ?

Good question. No black people. Is that so?!

armadeo: Has anyone wondered why no Nigerian nay African is on the list.

Let help you.

Our society does not allow the nurturing of talent. It does not reward excellence. Imagine a math prodigy born to a vulcaniser e in with his brilliance he would be chased away for school fees or no trans fare.

Do you know how many physicist are bike men today.its all about survival here.

Imagine a law that prohibits qualified students from enrolment based on age. I think below 16 can't get into Universities.

isacolukay: I'll rather be a billionaire than get all the IQ that dont translate to shiiit.

Unfortunately, all your billions don't mean shiiit to those guys.

mrceo63: 1. William James Sidis (IQ 250- 300)
He was born on April Fool's Day in 1898 in New York city. He became a strange combination of an April Fool and a 20th century genius vastly beyond common sentient
discernment.
His IQ was estimated to be between 250 and 300.
His parents, Boris and Sarah began their child's education in his first few months, and William's infant mind absorbed the
information at an extraordinary rate.
At six months, William uttered the word "door," and by the following month he had doubled his vocabulary to include "moon." At
eight months old, his proud parents boasted that he was able to feed himself with a spoon,
a skill that very few children develop within their first year.
By his first birthday-- an age when most children are still babbling-- he was honing his spelling skills. At one and a half years of age,
he was reading the daily newspaper.
His stunning accomplishments soon became a frequent feature on the first page of the New
York Times. He went to a grammar school at an age of 6 and graduated within 7 months.
At age nine William attempted to enroll at Harvard, and though the entrance exams were not a challenge for the young intellect, he was turned down on the basis that he was too "emotionally immature" for college life. He
went back to Harvard at an age of 11, graduated when he was 16.
In the meantime he continued to learn new languages, absorbing dozens of foreign tongues with ease, by the time he was adult,
he knew over 40 languages. He specialized in the field of mathematics. Sidis made a noble effort to avoid the public eye in his adult years.
He died in 1944 due to some brain damage and it was the same reason his father had
passed away.
Such was the end of the one-time prodigy..

Cow! Died the same way a #CHINA product blows up when overused.

I think Christopher Langan is also worthy of mention. He's reported to have an IQ between 195-210.

oyeludef: our president suppose dey there na

This is an example of the very pathetic state of mind of many Nigerians. A good number of these greats are not even remotely interested in the meaningless struggle for wealth. Materialism is too dumb a notion to be accommodated in their minds. They are very contented with living decent lives and are highly respected in the community of intellectuals. By the way, without calculus, the efficient algorithms that run on the device used to make this post would likely have been impossible to analyze. Some of these guys and their kind have contributed immensely to civilization as we have come to know it;and this, to sane people, is what matters in the real world.

Why mama PEJ no deiy dia?? D woman don invent many words and sentences nah haba
