Introduction

Here we attempt to figure out who the smartest person ever recorded is.

The results published here are a result of heavy research and historiometric methods. We examine scores, scrutinize the statistical validity and claims of any available scores, and use proof to corroborate such claims. In the chance that results have no axiomatic proof, we use a ranked historiometric ranking method to determine the ranking.

The ranking is dependent on five criteria, namely fluid intelligence, verbal intelligence, quantitative intelligence, working memory, visual ability, and processing speed. All criteria are not weighted equally due to the nature of how intelligence works. 

Due to the nature of this research, results should always be taken with caution unless tier-1 proof is otherwise known. 

The tiers are as follows:

1. Tier 1. Rating based on data equal to a professional test.
2. Tier 2. Rating based on data for which standardized norms exist on a test that is accurate.
3. Tier 3. Rating based on documentary evidence combined with diagnostic descriptive material.
4. Tier 4. Rating based on weaker documentary evidence and descriptive material, or on purely descriptive material. 
5. Tier 5. Rating based on general descriptive material. General statements of superiority (or inferiority) or of school standing, intellectual interests and more. Little evidence.
6. Tier 6. Rating based on slight evidence, such as socioeconomic status.
7. Tier 7. Guess

Our research takes a look at all tiers (except for 7 when all others are present) and uses a special formula to have a proper equilibrium between all tiers in the case a tier is missing or not available, or if more information is provided on one tier than the other. One should not take these results as a given unless tier 1 or 2 is heavily present.

Below is a list of possible geniuses that will continue to grow. It shall feature an embedded link to our tier analysis of each genius, otherwise if an embedded link is not available, the article is still being written and results should not be taken as final since research is still underway. 

The list of candidates which will be ranked numerically at a later date are below:

Candidate List:

• Chris Langan
• Rick Rosner
• William James Sidis
• John Von Neumann (1)
• Isacc Newton
• Albert Einstein
• Marilyn vos Savant

What is the IQ of Kanye West…
Kanye West is a notorious figure on social media, known not only for his music but for his wild and controversial statements. His bizarre behavior coupled with certain insightful statements may lead those to ponder just how smart he is. Although many have speculated without substantial proof, we can derive how smart Kanye is through his IQ score. Lets figure out What is the IQ of Kanye West.

In a famous meeting with the 45th president Donald Trump at the White House, Kanye admitted to having been tested by a neuropsychologist and being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Not only that, but he claimed to have been tested at the 98th percentile on an IQ test, and a 75th percentile for his lowest subtest index counting numbers backwards. This means his full-scale IQ or his overall IQ is in the low 130s, likely 130 overall and 110 on the counting index. What this means, is that Kanye West is a gifted individual, being 2 standard deviations from the mean. He would be 1 in 44 people of intelligence. 

You may ask if we can trust this result, and the answer is yes, the result is likely accurate. The test he was given was likely the Weschler’s Adult Intelligence Test, one of the best IQ tests. Not only that, but he was also given it by a qualified neuropsychologist. Additionally, he is a Mensa member who scored 133 on the test. This only corroborates his IQ.
