Einstein never took an iq test
-------------------------------------------------------------
Time and again the following question is posed: "What was Albert Einstein’s IQ?"
The 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.
Example of an IQ scale:
IQ Intelligence grade
over 140 excellent
120-139 very good
110-119 good
90-109 average, normal talent
80-89 low
70-79 very low
under 69 extremely low
Now back to the question that was mentioned in the beginning concerning Einstein’s IQ.
As far as we known today, Albert Einstein has never done any IQ test. Thus his IQ is unknown!
In 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!
Children 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:
"…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."

Albert Einstein Iq Score

Obviously, there is no exact answer because no test was ever administered to him. To score well on an IQ test, first answer the questions you are sure you know, second go back and answer the questions you can figure out, third, do not answer the questions you don't know, never guess. This technique netted me a 168.

Mine is 148 and I would think if tested by today's standards it would be over 200
