Honestly I don't know of a scale for "Thinking Power" unless you are referring to an I.Q. test. The best thinking power I can come up with is called 'Critical Thinking' and 'Critical Reading'. In these two resources a person does not just glance through a book or article. They read it carefully. Thinking about the entire concept and then breaking the concept down, to examine it's parts. These activities are the best way I know to increase your thought powers.

I don't believe the IQ is any scale to measure thinking power as such.... it can only at best measure thinking output which can be influenced by many other factors as well.

What I understand by thinking power is the twofold ability to cover width as well as depth in thinking. Width would make it more comprehensive and depth would make it more penetrative to the core or gist. In other words the ability to think through more variables at once and mentally simulate them to arrive at the core conclusion which is complete as well as accurate.... such that any further thinking be unlikely to change the conclusion either in its essence or in its span.

You may find more than one psychometric system, but generally it is the measure of memory quantity per unit of time (per duration). I.Q. attempts to measure the correct application of memory to calculation demands of a variety of date processing descriptions (questions as problems to solve) which is determinant of concept comprehension. What ever the scale is, it is a function of time in relation to coherent response to an assumed singularly interpretable cognitive demand, i.e. not only for correctness of answer but the duration measuring input to output for that correct answer or response is used for performance comparison.

There are various scales. Ask a psychologist.
