According to Mensa International, IQ is a score that identifies how far above or below someone is in comparison to others' mental ability. The term was coined in 1912, and since then, IQ tests have been further developed to define standard deviations of someone's logic and reasoning. Even with tests, intelligence is not easy to measure. Those who are considered "the smartest people in the world," such as Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein, do not have extraordinarily high IQ scores in comparison with others.

Who has the highest IQ?

There is not a distinct answer to who has the highest IQ, but it is not Albert Einstein. Those with higher IQs in comparison with Einstein include William James Sidis, Leonardo Da Vinci and Marilyn vos Savant. Sidis was a child prodigy whose IQ was estimated to be anywhere between 200 to 300, says parade.com. According to the University of Houston, he attended Harvard University at 11 years old and graduated at the age of 16. Da Vinci, famed painter and theorist, is estimated to have had IQ scores ranging from 180 to 220, according to parade.com. Savant has the highest recorded IQ, receiving a score of 228, and was listed in "The Guinness Book of World Records" in 1985, according to encyclopedia.com. She has been called "the smartest person in the world," says encyclopedia.com

What was Albert Einstein's IQ?

Though some sources estimate theoretical physicist Albert Einstein's IQ was around 160, there is no indication he ever had his IQ tested, according to biography.com. “If you google ‘Einstein's IQ’ you get plenty of results, but nothing that I would consider credible,” says professor Dean Keith Simonton for biography.com. So, there is no real answer to what was Einstein's IQ level. Most available scores appear to be simple estimates.

What IQ is genius?

Notably, the average IQ score falls between 85 and 115. A score above 140, meanwhile, is considered to be genius level.

cnbc.com - Here's the IQ score Warren Buffett says is all you need to succeed

While Washington, D.C. leaders fight over who's more intelligent, billionaire businessman Warren Buffett says there's a specific IQ score you need to succeed: 130. A week after NBC reported that Secretary Rex Tillerson called President Donald Trump a "moron," Trump proposed the two compare IQ tests in an interview published on Tuesday by Forbes. "And I can tell you who is going to win," Trump adds. This wouldn't be the first time Trump has bragged about his IQ.

Mensa, an exclusive organization for those who score in the top two percent, has offered to conduct Trump and Tillerson's IQ test. But Buffett has long said that IQ isn't the single defining factor to being successful. More important than IQ, he says, is rationality and emotional stability. "You don't need to be a rocket scientist. Investing is not a game where the guy with the 160 IQ beats the guy with a 130 IQ. Rationality is essential," Buffett is quoted saying in the book, "Warren Buffett Speaks." Notably, the average IQ score falls between 85 and 115. A score above 140, meanwhile, is considered to be genius level.
