  • The “average” IQ is by definition 100, so if you score below that you are dumber than average, and above it means smarter than average. The distribution of IQ scores is as follows: 50% of IQ scores fall between 90 and 110 70% of IQ scores fall between 85 and 115 95% of IQ scores fall between 70 and 130 99.5% of IQ scores fall between 60 and 140 A score of 132 equals the top 2% A score of 134 equals the top 1% A score of 68 equals the bottom 2% A score of 66 equals the bottom 1% So the highest IQ scores of people, based on this type of test, is The Highest IQs On Record People Still Alive Physicist / Engineer Kim Ung-yong has a verified IQ of 210 Bouncer Christopher Michael Langan has a verified IQ of 195 Engineer Philip Emeagwali is alleged to have an IQ of 190 World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov is alleged to have an IQ of 190 Author Marilyn Vos Savant has a verified IQ of 186 Actor James Woods is alleged to have an IQ of 180 Politician John H.
