I don't think we'll ever know.  High IQ does not equal fame or "success."\n\nIf you're talking about the most intelligent popular person, most would say Einstein.  I think he was one really smart guy, but come on...he had one big idea.  He was a one-hit wonder.  Granted, it was a BIG idea, but I don't think that physicists needed E=mc^2 to figure out the atomic bomb or atomic fission.\n\nI think that most individuals would not qualify as "most intelligent."  I think you'll have to look at a society for that one.  The most intelligent society, I think, would be the Western world, including Japan and others that are of a similar perspective.  They made great strides in human rights, technology, world peace, and charity.  And these things were accomplished by many great leaders, and the society that agreed with them.

145+ is borderline genius and 160+ Is genius. Below 80 is considered socially retarded. You can do an online search for Intelligent Quotient ( IQ) and you can not only see different scores and their determining factors. but you can take several sample tests. I wouldnt take just one and live by that score as different tests are rated differently. I took 3 and then took the avereage of the scores to guestimate what my IQ is.

It depends on the type of creativity.  Most genius peak by age 26, including Einstein.  \n\nNo-one could argue that artists like Dali lose their creative edge.  As they age they have more experience to draw from.

They are both intelligent, but in different ways. This is a values question, not an intellegence one. A person can be a genius in science and not have a clue about asthetics, or music or literarture. The same can be true of the arts student, who can be a creative genius, but finds math difficult. These areas of study use different parts of the brain, and most people are stronger in some areas than others. It is a disservice to tell bright children that they can be anything they want to be-it would be better to tell them to find out what they are best at, and give them the resources to run with it. It is a mistake to value science over the arts, or vice versa- we need them both.

Depending upon which test was used (Stanford Binet or Wechsler - not on line tests) a score of 145 or more may be considered genius.  \n\nThese links explain what IQ scores mean.

geniuses are usually creative. \nbut not all creative people are geniuses.\ngenius status is determined by IQ testing. \nbut creativity cannot be measured.

166 really?? I would think you could figure it out. LOL\n\ntop score 300. average 110-115, genius (top 2 %) 130+\n\nIt was estimated that Marilyn Vos Savants IQ was 230. but when IQ gets very high it is impossible to tell. There actually is not top score but it is estimated that it is almost beyond improbability for a homo sapiens to score higher than 300 and not be another species.\n\nPart of the measuring problem is ceiling bump. i.e. how does a person with an IQ of 135 design a test to quantify the IQ of someone with and IQ of 200 or 250.\n\nWith an IQ of 166 one thing that you Will notice. People that have IQ of less than say 120 will notice that you are smart but not be able to discern how smart. People that are over 135 can discern the difference between two people one with say an IQ of 145 an another with an IQ of 165.

Lewis Terman (1916) developed the original notion of IQ and proposed this scale for classifying IQ scores:\n\nOver 140 - Genius or near genius \n\n120 - 140 - Very superior intelligence \n\n110 - 119 - Superior intelligence \n\n90 - 109 - Normal or average intelligence \n\n80 - 89 - Dullness \n\n70 - 79 - Borderline deficiency \n\nUnder 70 - Definite feeble-mindedness\n\n\nGenius IQ is generally considered to begin around 140 to 145, representing ~.25% of the population (1 in 400).  Here's a rough guide:\n\n115-124 - Above average (e.g., university students) \n125-134 - Gifted (e.g., post-graduate students) \n135-144 - Highly gifted (e.g., intellectuals) \n145-154 - Genius (e.g., professors) \n155-164 - Genius (e.g., Nobel Prize winners) \n165-179 - High genius \n180-200 - Highest genius \n>200 - "Unmeasurable genius"

It all depends on how exactly you measure intelligence.\n\nPsychologists have long known, and a small handful of educators are slowly attempting to point out to their hidebound school boards that not every person has the same kind of intelligence, and not everyone's mind works the same way.\n\nJust as some people might be superlative in solving logical problems, working mathematical equations and writing elegant code, but be totally abyssmal in inter-personal relationships, or be incapable of remembering what they were supposed to buy on the way home, there may well be different types of intelligence in the animal kingdom.\n\nFor example, there is a large body of evidence that indicates that camels are actually masters at complex theoretical and practical mathematics.  Their lack of natural curiosity and obstinate, ornery natures tends to restrict the expression of this genius to the real-world practical applications of applied ballistics, and use their talents only for accurately placing fetid gobs of spit.\n\nDolphins are often noted for their large brain size, and their intricate social lives that include clever strategems used in pack hunting of reef fish, but as it turns out reef fish aren't really that difficult to outsmart, and the dolphins don't even use most of their capability for intelligence.  They are afraid it makes them look too dorky, and so they spend most of their time gossipping, discussing which other dolphins are the cutest, what the latest fashions in coral colour are, how cool it would be if someone invented waterproof make-up, Tom Cruise, and other mindless drivel.  Sometimes it just breaks their mother's heart when she thinks of all that wasted talent.\n\nHippos are indeed fairly intelligent, but mostly in the fields of biochemistry and Russian literature.  Because they are rarely exposed to these stimuli, they tend to be very ornery, and work out their frustrations by tearing people and crocodiles in half, and then spreading poo everywhere.  Which, if you read carefully, are also common themes in Russian literature.
