There is a columnist named Marilyn Vos Savant who has tested higher on the standard I.Q. test than anyone else. She's tested at two hundred and forty-something, if memory serves.
Here's the really important question: What has she DONE for the world, aside from scoring higher than anyone else on the test? As far as I know, nothing! --Which is not a put-down on her--my only point is that it's not how smart you are "on paper"--what's important is what you do with your life, and how much you add to the sum total of human knowledge.

My wife read somewhere that Leonardo da Vinci has been estimated to have had an IQ of about 400.
Beyond that, IQs are high, not large. Or they are low, not small. Get the idea?

The people with the Vos Savant and the Leonardo answers are right.
Leonardo drew and imagined inventions from over 100 years into the future.
