The most intelligent living person is Marilyn Vos Savant,
who scored 226 (I think) on a childhood IQ test.
However, the most intelligent person that EVER lived is
now dead. It was William James Sidis. He lived from
1898 to 1944. His IQ was estimated at between 250 and 300.
He was the son of 2 super-geniuses, such that he combined
their genes to become a super-super-genius. He met
intellectual developmental landmarks at very young ages.
However, his extremely high IQ set him apart from everyone
else, and he killed himself at the age of 46.

IQ is a test of intelligence in only one facet of life.... there is wisdom and experience and others...... everyone has strenghts and weaknesses.... would you rather be lost in the middle of nowhere with a survivalist or Einstein?

I would bet that Einstein did--if not the highest, very close.

I.Q test do not measure intelligence...only your ability to take tests. There is no known way to measure intelligence.
