Well, my thought is that after a certain point, you just can't measure
the IQ correctly; I'd say that this is the reason why Mensa is the 2%
club. You can say that someone is more-less above IQ 148, but which
one of them is more intelligent, well, this becomes a problem. 0.001%,
well, this would indicate that someone is very good at solving IQ
tests, but I'd say that you're more likely to find the 1/M or 1/G
folks in the Nobel prize group, not in Mensa. The IQ that big is
something that has to show in real life, so, why not just look for the
guys who displayed results?
Einstein supposedly had IQ of around 150, and so did Tesla. But, how
many Einsteins or Teslas do we get per G, eh? Per 10G? T?
