10 - Stephen Hawking – IQ 160

Stephen Hawking is an English theoretical physicist. He is best known for his presence in popular science, most notably his book A Brief History of Time, published in 1988. Hawking’s contributions in the field of theoretical physics have revolutionized the field and advanced the sum of human knowledge substantially.

9 - Albert Einstein – IQ 160-190

The exact IQ of the man famous for essentially jumpstarting the field of theoretical physics is unknown as he never took the test, but experts peg his IQ somewhere between the range of 160 and 190. Albert Einstein was born in 1879 in Germany, and is best known for developing the theory of relativity, which is (alongside quantum mechanics) one of the two theories that provide the foundation for our entire modern understanding of physics.

8 - Leonardo da Vinci – IQ 180-190

Like Einstein, we cannot give an exact figure to represent da Vinci’s IQ as neither the concept nor the test existed in his time. However, experts have retroactively deduced that da Vinci’s IQ was most likely in the range of 180 to 190. Given all that he accomplished, it’s certainly plausible. Leonardo was the first famous polymath (an expert in various fields) and epitomizes the concept of the ‘Renaissance Man’ more than any human since. Da Vinci was an expert in painting, sculpting, music, mathematics, engineering, geology, cartography, and was an impressive writer to boot.

7 - Mislav Predavec - IQ 192

Currently a math professor in Croatia's capital of Zagreb, the 45-year-old is also an owner and director of a small trade company.
Predavec is the founder and president of the elite GenerIQ society.

6 - Garry Kasparov - IQ 194

Garry Kasparov is a Russian chess grandmaster that is widely considered to be the single greatest player of all time. From his professional debut in 1986 to 2005, Kasparov was the #1 ranked player for 225 out of 228 months, a feat unheard of that has yet to be replicated. His champion status made him a celebrity in his native Soviet Union (later Russia), and his competitive matches against IBM’s Deep Blue computer and political activism against current Russian Prime Minster Vladimir Putin have made him well known in the western world outside of the chess community.

5 - Evangelos Katsioulis - IQ 198

Evangelos Katsioulis is a Greek medical doctor and Psychiatrist. Currently, he lives and works in Thessaloniki, Greece.
Katsioulis is known for his high intelligence test scores. There are several reports that he has achieved the highest scores ever recorded on IQ tests designed to measure exceptional intelligence.

4 - Kim Ung-Yong - IQ 210

Born in South Korea in 1963, Ung-Yong started speaking at 6 months old and was able to read English, German, Korean and Japanese by his 3rd birthday. After his gift was publicized, Ung-Yong went to the United States to study and later ended up working for NASA for the better part of a decade. Disillusioned with life at NASA, Ung-Yong returned to his native Korea to be a teacher, which he continues to do to this day. It’s remarkable that after a lifetime of fame and opportunities brought on by his intellect, he chose to live a normal and low-key life.

3 - Christopher Hirata - IQ 225

Christopher Hirata is another child prodigy that made waves when he became the youngest American to win a gold medal at the International Physics Olympiad in 1996 at the age of 13. He enrolled in the California Institute of Technology at 14, and successfully obtained his PhD from Princeton at the age of 22. He later returned to the California Institute of Technology to teach astrophysics, which the 31-year-old still does today.

2 - Terence Tao - IQ 225-230

Terence Tao is an Australian mathematician who rose to fame as a well-known child prodigy. Born to parents who immigrated to Australia from Hong-Kong, Tao specializes in the study of harmonic analysis, additive combinatorics, and other fields of mathematics. He was co-recipient of the Fields Medal in 2006 , an award that celebrates excellence and innovation in mathematics to recipients under 40 years old. He teaches at the University of California in Los Angeles.

1 - William James Sidis - IQ 250-300

William James Sidis is another individual whose exact IQ score is unknown. Experts have pegged his IQ somewhere in the range of 250 to 300, which would give him the highest IQ score in history. Born in 1898, he entered Harvard at the age 11 to study mathematics, which at the time made him the youngest person to ever enroll at the prestigious university. After completing his studies he began teaching, but found that the students in his class who were older than he was did not take kindly to being educated by what they perceived to be a boy.
