    The concept that intelligence could be or should be tested began with a nineteenth-century British scientist, Sir Francis Galton. Galton was known as a dabbler in many different fields, including biology and early forms of psychology. After the shake-up from the 1859 publishing of Charles Darwin's "The Origin of Species", Galton spent the majority of his time trying to discover the relationship between heredity and human ability.............
    .........Meanwhile in France, a psychologist named Alfred Binet was busy devising tests to rate child intelligence. Like Galton, Binet was passionate about testing and measuring human capabilities. ...............
    ...............An American psychologist named Lewis Terman coined the term intelligence quotient for Stern's Binet test scoring system. An average IQ score on a Binet test was 100. Any score above 100 was deemed above average, while any score below 100 was below average...................

    From the above one can understand that IQ test was an evolution that originally begun from a man who was called "scientist" in 19 century.
    All the scientists that contributed to this evolution should have enough IQ to support their title........lets say over 125 (Alexander Grimwade, The scientist, "It's True: Scientists Are Smart" Volume 17 | Issue 13 | 7 | Jun. 30, 2003)
