Mr. Smarty

The average IQ - Intelligence Quotient - is 100. Above average is 115, genius is 140 and extraordinary genius is 160. Those that get 70 or below are considered impaired.

Stephen W. Hawking has an IQ of 160. He has authored seven books and is credited with helping us mortals understand the universe.

Kim Ung-Yong’s is 210. He’s the guy that was fluent in four languages by age two, and audited college courses by age four. Pretty smart guy.

Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft comes in at 170 and is worth $14.2 billion. I wonder if he could fix my mother-in-law’s computer so she can’t mess it up?

Wow! Terrence Tao has an IQ of 230. I think that’s genius to the 10th power. He was doing math at the age of two and received a PhD from Princeton at 20. At 24, he became the youngest ever full professor at UCLA.

Are you ready for a smarty you may not believe? The actor James Woods is considered the 10th smartest person with an IQ at 180. He enrolled in linear algebra at UCLA while in high school before accepting a full scholarship to MIT. There he caught the acting bug and the rest is history.

Some other really smart people include Albert Einstein, 160, Bill Gates, 160, Thomas Edison, 145, Ben Franklin, 160 and Beethoven, 165. All of these are very impressive, but none compare to Al Gore.

He invented the internet and knows how to stop global warming.
