There are a bunch of tests that are commonly used to determine the intelligence quotient (IQ), including the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, and Peabody Individual Achievement Test. While there is no standard or recommended (IQ) test, the scoring technique is pretty much the same across the different variants, with 100 being considered an ‘average’ IQ and anything above 140 is considered a genius. Albert Einstein’s IQ is generally referred to as being 160, which is only a gauge; it’s impossible that he at any point took an IQ test during his lifetime. Here are 10 people who have higher IQs than Albert Einstein.
Jacob Barnett- IQ 170

The American wonder kid completed grades 6 through 12 in under a year, then he set off for college at age of 10. He was a published physicist when he was 13. Presently he’s 21 and working on his Ph.D.
Rick Rosner: IQ 192–198

5. Ainan Cawley: IQ 263

When he was nine, he’d remember the first 518 decimal spots of pi. He additionally appears to have a skill for entertainment. He composed the content and created music for a short film called Reflection at age 12.
6. Adragon De Mello: IQ 400
In 1988, Adragon De Mello graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz, with a degree in computational math at 11 years old. He was the youngest college graduate in the United States (a record he does not hold anymore). He was accounted for to have an extended IQ of 400. De Mello hasn’t been in the public eye much in the previous 20 years. Also, in 2001 when he was a 24-year-old “high-tech worker,” he took authority over his dad who was dying of cancer. He definitely has a higher IQ than Albert Einstein.
7. Michael Kearney: IQ 200–325
Michael Kearney graduated from the University of South Alabama with a bachelor’s degree in anthropology in 1994 at 10 years old. He is the individual who broke De Mello’s record. By the age of 22, Kearney had four college degrees in computer science, geology, and chemistry, in addition to his first degree in anthropology. Kearney has an IQ score that goes from 200 to 325.
8. Nikola Tesla: IQ 160–310
Nikola Tesla, the Serbian-American innovator—and most despised adversary of Thomas Edison—purportedly had an expected IQ falling somewhere close to 160 and 310. Even though he’s responsible for dreaming up (and, in some cases, creating) wide scope of new advancements, Tesla is most popular for creating the main alternating current (AC) motor and developing AC generation and transmission technology. At the end of his life, Tesla’s mental health was not good. He passed away alone in the New York hotel room where he’d resided.
9. Srinivasa Ramanujan: IQ 185
Born in India in 1887, Srinivasa Ramanujan is perhaps the most persuasive mathematician on the planet. He made huge contributions to the analytical theory of numbers, also the elliptic functions, continued fractions, and infinite series. He had an estimated IQ of 185.
10. William Shakespeare: IQ 210
William Shakespeare was an English writer and poet. Throughout his lifetime, he finished 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two narrative poems, and a variety of other poems. The man was a genius with words and thoughts. He had an estimated IQ of 210.
