Most IQ tests are culturally biased and require language skills. For a person not familiar with language and culture, even though intelligent , he/she may fail to get the best score he /she capable of. Does genius means fast processing of information, as one needs in taking these tests, then computer may be the most genius of all. What about those who are slow thinkers, that would not do so well in an IQ tests, but have big dreams that no one can match their ability to predict events or come up with innovative ideas and groundbreaking discoveries. Do we know really how brain works and in how many ways it may demonstrate its peculiar talents. And who is to say that a particular talent is superior to the other talents. Is an IQ test result the only criteria to represent a brilliant mind. I do not think so.

Here is another thats needs to be looked at. Now there is nothing impressive about him
academically but this guy consistently beats everyone (with the exception of one person who
beat him by 1 point on one test) on these ultra difficult untimed and unsupervised pattern
recognition "IQ" tests(numerical sequence and visual patterns). I put "IQ" in quotes because
they are untimed and unsupervised but at least are probably more reliable than say the
Mega test because they are free of cultural bias. Also to be realistic it wouldn't be practical to
put these questions in a timed test because of their difficulty. Anyway here are the score lists
for various tests he took where you can see how he compare to others(some include
Giga society members in which he beats them. Of course the whole "Giga society" thing
is a whole other topic).

There is an article called "legacy of logical art" by Jonathon Wai in the following
link that talks about one of these tests in particular and Mislav Predavec (also
some other articles as well)

This Adragon De Mello having a 400 IQ even if its a ratio? Please. The score apparently comes from a Adragon De Mello
dad giving him a test and then calculation it. There is also apparently a lot of myth about Sidis's supposed 250-300 IQ with no factual evidence to back that claim up let alone a test that could measure that high. I'm also interested in the particulars of how Michael Kearney's ratio IQ was caculated(beyond the general concept of mental age * 100/chron age). I'm also interested in what specific tests Terence Tao and Chris Hirata took to reach those scores. Having that Chris Hirata and Terence Tao are both the real deal as far as super high intelligence goes. I think those two deserve to be on this lists about as much as anyone because unlike most prodigies they
have carried their talent into adulthood big time (especially Terence Tao). I also believe Kim Ung-Yong deserves high praise as well.

Ok I feel I need to make a post about this because there seems to be a lot of disinformation out on the web about
this. First of all most estimated you find on the web list his IQ between 195-210 which makes no sense at all.
First his IQ estimates are based on his taking the Mega test and in particular a 2nd attempt at the mega test under
the pseudonym Eric Hart in he got 47 out of 48(he got 42 out of 48 in his 1st attempt). Aside from the fact that probably
most psychometricians wouldn't look at the Mega test as valid IQ test because its untimed and unsupervised(and maybe
also because somewhat independent on cultural) the IQ range of 195-210 doesn't seem to fit the norming of the Mega
Test even if we use Langan's 2nd attempt and not his lower 1st attempt. According to the norming done by the tests
designer(Ronald Hoeflin) a 47 would correspond to an IQ of 190 (STD 16): http://www.eskimo.com/~miyaguch/meganorm.html

On the other hand there is another norming by Grady Towers who puts a 47 as equivalent to an IQ 0f 200.
http://www.eskimo.com/~miyaguch/megadata/gradynorm.html

Then apparently there is other information that from another norm that puts the ceiling lower than these two(something 10 to 11 points
lower than the norming from Ronald Hoeflin. The following is an exchange by fellow mega society members Paul Johns and Kevin Langdon.

"> Marilyn vos Savant's score of 218 (at 10 years) would reduce to
> an adult score of IQ 179 [indeed, her score on the Mega Test
> was IQ 186].

> Paul Johns

That was not a correct estimate of her IQ given her raw score on
the Mega and a reasonable statistical treatment of the data. Her
Mega score converts to approximately 175 or 176, the mega level,
which is still not too shabby."

Here is someone that is really really impressive. Aside from apparently having a verified IQ of 189 from the
stanford-binet(don't know if thats a ratio score or not) he has two PhDs. One in pure mathematics and the other
in Greek Literature. Supposedly has another degree in inlinguistics too. Aside from all of that is "A prolific essayist
in mathematics, he also writes poetry, scripts, novels and essays on politics, philosophy, history, tragedy and drama."

the only way that could work out to 325 is if the actual ceiling for that test was a mental age of 13.
If you assume that it would come out to 325. Mental age * 100/chron age = 13 * 100/4 = 325.
I do seem to recall some IQ tests for children (like the WISC) have an age range between 6-16 so maybe
the stanford-binet test Kearney took had an age range between 6-13. Just speculating of course.
