I mean cmon! Da Vinci!

(I believe they estimated it, but da vinci was seriously a psychopath when it comes to anything. a polymath I believe. Hawking is just a smart physics man)
just?

i've only ever taken the stupid online tests, and my average of them would be about 130. i doubt my iq is quite that high, but i'll probably never know because i can't be bothered to take a real test :)

I don't really think any of it measures too much, though I.Q more so than the HSC in my opinion.

I know a few people who are very intelligent though, but are just lazy.

I know people who got in the 70 UAI range (around 20 less than me), and I know for sure, they are smarter than me.

hsc=measure of time mangagement and hard work
iq=measure of certain types of intelligence

steven hawkings iq was tested around 160-170, when his disability started, he took it because he feared his disability would be a detriment to his mental capacity.
Da vinci being at 230 seems inflated, probably fans of da vinci got excited when coming up with a number for his iq.
If you were to test einsteins iq i think it would be around 140-150, because iq tests are under time restrictions.
agreed hsc has nothing to do with iq

Average IQ is 100. Above 130 is genius. Below... Don't quote me on this but i think it was 70.

I've been tested in a clinic when i was diagnosed with ADHD, 126.

But that means nothing, i know people who're probably not as smart as me who work and smash their exams, I'm lazy though.
