How High Is Genius IQ?

A “genius” IQ is typically considered to be 130 or above — a score that places someone in the top 0.5% of the population. While IQ scores aren’t a perfect measure of intelligence, they can reflect exceptional abilities in logic, reasoning, and abstract thinking. Historical figures like Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking are often associated with IQs in this range. Curious where you stand?
