The person who has the highest IQ level in the world

A person with the highest IQ level in the world by the end of 2024 has been named.

As Science Focus writes, he scored 230 points on the results of an intellectual test. This is one of the highest indicators in history.

This man is Terence Tao, a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Tao has been called the “Mozart of math.” He began studying calculus at the university level at the age of 9.

And already at the age of 16, he started writing his doctoral dissertation at Princeton.

To date, he has published 17 books and more than 300 scientific papers, and since 2021 he has been an advisor to the President of the United States on science and technology.

It is important to note that IQ scores above 200 are considered extremely rare and hard to come by.

However, experts say intelligence test results are often misunderstood and can be misused.

The study, published in the journal Frontiers In Systems Neuroscience, claims that IQ is not a unit of intelligence.

That is, a person with an IQ of 130 is not 30% smarter than a person whose score is 100.

In addition, intelligence testing has changed over the decade. Therefore, it is difficult to compare results obtained at different times.
