that's an impossible question to answer with any degree of precision. Here's why.

First, the IQ number is based on your answers to a test containing a wide variety of questions at a particular point in time. Your ability to answer the questions depends on many factors including experience answering similar questions, your mood, and your environment. As such the number fluctuates.

Second, i can't imagine anyone here has access to Mr Hawkins test results so any answers would be a pure guess.

That said, in the United States, the top 5% of the population has a consistent IQ number > 125. the top 2% >130. 1% >135. My guess, without seeing any test data, is that Mr Hawkins is at least in the top 1% of the population. probably in the top 0.1% So I would say his IQ would be > 145.

Firstly as Darko mentioned it isn't bigger. Also an IQ scan is established at the traditional IQ of one hundred. This manner you cant examine probably the most outcome due to the fact that the traditional could were moved (nonetheless one hundred) over the years. That is to mention humans on traditional have end up extra shrewd. Also I doubt Leonardo da Vinci ever took a scan so the outcome come from any one "guessing". Also due to the fact that the scan is established round an traditional of one hundred as you progress as much as say a hundred and fifty the scan turns into much less correct.

Probably not as high as most people would think it is. He made a tremendous error in his book, 'A brief History of Time,' he claimed that the universe would cllape in on itself and time would reverse.

Hawking doesn't even know. He says "People who boast about their IQ are losers."

Steven Hawking is a genius. And since the IQ curve only goes up to approximately 145...he is at least that. 389? I dunno where that comes from.
