There's no proof there is a Jesus, why would there be proof of his IQ?

Well keep in mind that he was likely illiterate (had he ever written ANYTHING it would almost certainly have been preserved) and most of his learning would have been religious in nature, and from the oral tradition.
I'm not sure that he was an 'original thinker' (the Golden Rule, and other philosophies he espoused were actually taught before his time by the Essenes, which he was likely aware of).
I think where he really excelled was his compassion and charisma. This was clearly a man who inspired others - and I don't think IQ is a good measure of such a quality.

first, IQ is determined after a battery of objective tests. the measure of IQ becomes less valid in later life as we accumulate knowledge and develop learning abilities more fully. Score achieved on an intelligence test that identifies learning potential. such tests didn't exist during his life. the answer, IMHO, to your question is not a numerical value but is contained in the Bible, esp in the NT gospels and letters.

Do you really expect to get a real answer to your question. Who the heck knows what Jesus' IQ was?

Did they have IQ testing back then?

HE dosen't have an IQ.
IQ's are for Human Beings.
Jesus dosen't need an IQ.

They didn't have IQ tests back when Jesus was alive (yes I said when he was alive).
However, I will say that I believe he was a wise teacher.
