The original 1916 Lewis Terman IQ classification scheme, defining near genius or genius level to be IQ = 140+. [1]

In intellectual classification, IQ is short for intellectual quotient, a natural number (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 … ), including zero, assigned to be representative of a person’s general intellectual ability, in which a value of 100 is said to represent the intellectual ability of the average person.

Hmolpedia IQs come from a variety of sources (see: Genius IQs); the following shorthand notations are used in various articles, to distinguish which IQs are being cited:

CC IQ = Catherine Cox IQ (1926 listing of the IQs of the top 300 geniuses (1450-1850) by Catherine Cox and her team)
TB IQ = Tony Buzan IQ (1995 listing of the IQs top 100 geniuses of all time by Tony Buzan and Raymond Keene)
CB IQ = Cox-Buzan IQs (an averaged IQ of the thirteen common individuals in both the Cox and Buzan list)
