Famous IQ Scores

Yesterday I started reading Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. The book deals with extraordinary people and the unique opportunities that paved their path to success. One person mentioned in the book is Chris Langan. Langan is famous because his IQ is 195. To put this in perspective the average IQ score is 100 and a score of 140 or above is considered "genius". Langan's incredibly high IQ made me curious. I wondered what some other famous people's IQ's might be... so this morning I did some investigating and found the IQ scores of these well known people:

Albert Einstein (Scientist): IQ Score 160







Arnold Schwarzennegger (Actor/Politician/ Bodybuilder): IQ Score 135








Bill Gates (Microsoft Owner): IQ Score 160








Hillary Clinton (Secretary of State): IQ Score 140








James Woods (Actor): IQ Score 180







Stephen Hawking (Physicist): IQ Score 160







Steve Martin (Comedian/Actor): IQ Score 142








Reggie Jackson (Baseball Player): IQ Score 160






Bobby Fisher (Chess Champion): IQ Score 187









Madonna (Singer/Dancer/Actress): IQ Score 140
