How did we get IQ tests?

The daughter of an Italian and a German immigrant, vos Savant was born in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1946. Her advanced cognitive abilities were apparent from a young age, and according to one IQ test, she already displayed adult intelligence levels at age 10.

She decided to show off her impressive smarts to the Guinness World Records committee in the 1980s. Using two tests—the Stanford-Binet test and the Mega Test—she demonstrated an IQ score that placed her above Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. From 1986 to 1989, Guinness listed her as the person with the highest IQ on Earth. Because IQ Test were so unreliable, Guinness stopped listing them in 1990.
