Renowned for his quantum mechanics and computational complexity expertise, Scott Aaronson stands out with an IQ of 160. However, he argues that such tests hardly measure one’s actual intelligence.

Aaronson suggests diving into physics to gauge one’s aptitude rather than relying on IQ scores. Pursuing the subject directly offers a clearer indicator of potential success than any standardized test could.
