I read somewhere that it was higher than could be tested.
Who knows IQ is such a iffy thing anyway.

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!

Noone knows.
I would expect his IQ to appear over 130, but no higher than 160.
A good estimate would be 145, statistically...super high IQ's arn't necessarily good.
People tend to overestimate important peoples IQ's.
For example, Garry Kasparov, like, 15 time world chess champion and supreme intellect, was estimated at an IQ of 185.
However, he was tested at 135. People overestimate these peoples IQ's, that's for sure.

Einstein was an overrated scientist and a social outcast.
Dr. Nikola Tesla did more for science and was far more intelligent.
Bohr, Siemens, ...were also way more intelligent than Einstein and his "stealing" of relativity and other ideas. BTW---Einsteins wife(a mathematician) who was a good friend with Tesla(She'd gone to college with Tesla) actually did much of the advance cal, diff equations,,,......... for poor old Albert.

According to some sources it was 160, and some claim that it was 172.
