I don't think it would have been a lot.  Most people that are truly Genius are the ones that history says were really stupid.

His parents ...\n\nIf you are asking what Einstein discovered, Einstein's contributions to physics began in 1905 with three major results: the explanation of Brownian motion in terms of molecules; the explanation of the photoelectric effect in terms of the quantum; and the special theory of relativity that links time to space and energy to matter. From 1907 to 1915 Einstein developed general relativity, a theory of gravity more accurate than Newton's; it became the basis of theoretical cosmology. In failed efforts in the 1930s to refute the interpretation of quantum theory in terms of probability, Einstein contributed to the theoretical basis for what is sometimes called teleportation of photons (which Einstein called "spooky action at a distance"). His last major effort was an attempt to unify electromagnetism and gravity into a single unified field theory, still an active problem of physics.

He was never able to write it. He was in the middle of trying to create one theory for electromagnatism and his own theory of relativity when he died. It is yet to be done to create such a theory, although the string theory could possibly be it.

Jesus Christ has the highest IQ ever recorded. \n\nThe recording of this will be revealed, but first and foremost consider what this highest IQ person thought was most important. \n\nHonor thy Father in heaven. \n\nJesus Christ invited people to be one with himself and the Father in heaven to the extent that there could be no worldly distinction. \n\nTo the Father in heaven Jesus Christ said hallowed be thy name. \n\nJesus Christ taught that you can believe the Father because of the name, the title, the position as the seat of power, and/or you could believe the Father because of the good works. \n\nWithin the context of this Sermon, you can believe Jesus Christ because of his title of holding the highest IQ that anyone has ever held. \n\nJesus Christ also has good works, and with heavenly powers could summon a legion of angels, but did not. Surely Christ could make a board longer, and in today's world could make a computer dance, but Christ is not about showing-off. Christ is primarily about working within the human scale of capabilities, including using those human abilities to leverage profound heavenly powers. \n\nChrist is about using the virtually insignificant (according to human understanding) and weakest to overcome righteously. \n\nChrist does not have a normal body with a gigantic head and gigantic brain inside. Christ does have priorities and logic. \n\nBecause Christ thinks oneness with everlasting, almighty, good God is important, and has kept that focus, Christ was able to develop from child to adult, simultaneously developing from the level of childhood intelligence to the highest ultimate level of human being intelligence possible. \n\nThis is measurable according to the biblical teachings that as a child of 12, Jesus met with doctors who were amazed at his ability to converse on advanced concepts. \n\nBy comparing the mental age with the chronological age, the IQ is determined by a standardized test. Such tests were not popularized until 1916 AD. But since standardization is the key to that concept, clearly fixed test points can be set from the given. As such we can set high and low IQ parameters for Jesus Christ, and derive an acceptable solution. \n\nModern tests differentiate minute details, such as from one year of age to the next. We do not have those details, but do have that a child of 12, which can also be generally stated as 1/2 adult. A preliminary low estimate so far would then be the given age times 2, or 100 x 2 = 200 IQ. \n\nBut Jesus interacted with the smartest people. Adults generally have a range of about 70 IQ to 130 IQ, with the smartest people of a representative community perhaps having an IQ of about 130 to 150. So we are looking at 300 IQ for a low estimate. \n\nA high estimate includes more subjectivity, given the comparison of modern thought with ancient. This includes areas such as schooling, belief systems, mores, and experience handed-down through the generations. So in other words, if people are taught illogic, it is that much more difficult for them to reveal logic. \n\nFor example, many consider Galileo smart (although he struggled with his own ideas), yet figuratively if he was around today, he might be put into grade school (any modern 12 year old knows a helicopter doesn't look like his illustration). \n\nIQ is to measure intelligence, not behavior or teaching patterns, therefore a high appraisal is figured at 300 as noted above, times subjective guesstimate 1.5 = 450 IQ. \n\nIncidentally, 2 people of 100 IQ each, together do not equal 200 IQ, but working as one can perhaps achieve nearly 150 IQ per a normal bell curve distribution, although 105 or maybe 110 are more likely figures. \n\nSo Jesus Christ's IQ is 300 within this author's ability to reasonably measure, although Jesus Christ's IQ may be as high as 450 (as measured for 12 AD). \n\nFurthermore, it may be supposed that being on the right logical path later as an adult, Jesus Christ's IQ, if o

I'm sure that there are hundreds of studies with conflicting results, but it's impossible to compare the intelligence of someone who is alive, versus someone who is dead. Also, IQ is an indicator of intelligence, but it's not 100% accurate - if you take the test multiple times, you'll get slightly different scores.\n\nHowever, you could easily prove that the perception of society's intelligence is dropping. With modern communication, you can write/say/do something stupid, and it's immediately available for the world to see.

Einstein was a genius.  Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879 – April 18, 1955) was a theoretical physicist widely regarded as the most important scientist of the 20th century. He independently developed the special and general theories of relativity and made significant contributions to quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and cosmology. He was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect in 1905 (his "wonderful year") and "for his services to Theoretical Physics".\n\nAfter British solar eclipse expeditions in 1919 confirmed that light rays from distant stars were deflected by the gravity of the Sun in the amount he had predicted in his theory of relativity, Einstein became world-famous, an unusual achievement for a scientist. In his later years, his fame perhaps exceeded that of any other scientist in history. In popular culture, his name has become synonymous with great intelligence and genius.

Hey sans! I think that the saddest thing is the sheer number of otherwise perfectly intelligent people that stunt their mental growth by imprisoning themselves withing a system of beliefs. Einstein refused to publish several important papers for years, for fear that they would be seen as evidence of the lack of existence of God.

Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 at Ulm in Baden-Württemberg, German Empire, about 100 km east of Stuttgart. His parents were Hermann Einstein, a featherbed salesman who later ran an electrochemical works, and Pauline, whose maiden name was Koch. They were married in Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt. The family was Jewish (non-observant); Albert attended a Catholic elementary school and, at the insistence of his mother, was given violin lessons. Though he initially disliked (and eventually discontinued) the lessons, he would later take great solace in Mozart's violin sonatas.

He was cremated without ceremony on the same day he died at Trenton, New Jersey, in accordance with his wishes. His ashes were scattered at an undisclosed location.\n\nAn autopsy was performed on Einstein by Dr. Thomas Stoltz Harvey, who removed and preserved his brain. Harvey found nothing unusual with his brain, but in 1999 further analysis by a team at McMaster University revealed that his parietal operculum region was missing and, to compensate, his inferior parietal lobe was 15% wider than normal. The inferior parietal region is responsible for mathematical thought, visuospatial cognition, and imagery of movement. Einstein's brain also contained 73% more glial cells than the average brain

IQ Score is not everything u know. though i like taking them XP, they're fun, espcially when u see how they try to trick you or you understand why they're tricky, or when i realize taht i almost choose the wrong answer hahaha. ANYHOW.\n\nEinstein never took an iq test\n-------------------------------------------------------------\n\nTime and again the following question is posed: "What was Albert Einstein’s IQ?"\n\nThe intelligence quotient (IQ) is a measuring instrument for intellectual talent. The term was coined by the German psychologist and philosopher Wilhelm Stern (1871-1938) in 1912. The IQ is determined by the intelligence age (I A) in relation to the life age (L A) of the respective person. In standardized tests (IQ-tests), in which the general intelligence is tested, the I A is determined. The IQ can thus be calculated with the formula IQ = (I A/L A)*100. The analysis is done with the help of IQ scales which can, however, differ from each other. Thus the Americans for example use scales which admit IQ values of far more than 200. Thus the mean value of most scales is an IQ of 100. This value represents a normal talent. When indicating the respective IQ the used IQ scale which was used has to be indicated, too.\n\nExample of an IQ scale:\n\nIQ  Intelligence grade \nover 140 excellent \n120-139 very good \n110-119 good \n90-109 average, normal talent \n80-89 low \n70-79 very low \nunder 69 extremely low \n\nNow back to the question that was mentioned in the beginning concerning Einstein’s IQ.\n\nAs far as we known today, Albert Einstein has never done any IQ test. Thus his IQ is unknown!\n\nIn the 20ies scientists had tried to estimate the IQ of deceased personalities such as Mozart (1756-1791) and Goethe (1749-1832) by means of biographic data; thus they wanted to estimate Albert Einstein’s IQ, too. The value estimated for Einstein was between 160 and 180. But this rough estimation can not count as Einstein’s IQ!\n\nChildren also wanted to know Einstein’s IQ. Thus a ten-year-old girl wrote a letter to Einstein at the end of the 40ies which said:\n\n"…I’m writing to you because my cousin and I had a bet. He said you had 175 in entiledgence. And I said you had 190. Which one of us is right. … My inteligence is 145."\n\nBibliography:\n     \nAlice Calaprice Dear Professor Einstein\nAlbert Einstein's letters to and from children New York 2002

Generally speaking, the scales are around this range.\n\n80 and below - very slow\n80 to 100 - below average\n100 - average\n100 to 120 - intelligent\n120 to 140 - very intelligent\n140 and above - almost genius.\n160 and you're in Einstein territory

Its not how much you have to use.  Its how you use what you have.  Einstein is someone who used what he had, but that does not mean that he had all that much more then the rest of us.  His IQ was not extaordinary ( around 150 if I remember right), but the things he did with his brain were.

Einstein liked to flirt when he was young but he was also obsessed with his Physics. For example, his first marriage ended in divorce because of his indifference to his wife and child. This was during the first release of his general theory. Their marriage was good for him because she was a higher math major and they worked together in their early marriage towards the release of his book.\n\nPBS had an outstanding bio on him about a year ago and it revealed a side of him and woman that I had never known before. I am sure if you got on the web and went to the PBS web site, www.PBS.org and looked under Nova and the name of the DVD movie is: Einstein's Big Idea. I know this is the one because I recognized the guy that played him when I saw it. Hope this helped and good luck.
