@lemonsaw You're right. I wasn't inspecting a closer look at it as I was reading through the wiki, which yes, still mentions that there are scientists- specifically 3 of them who 'scored low on their IQ tests in the wiki. But here's the source(link) where it mentions the names of three scientists that are considered 'low in IQ' at the wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genius
Quoted text from the wiki link that highlights the 'low IQ' scientists:
"The Terman longitudinal study in California eventually provided historical evidence regarding how genius is related to IQ scores.[27] Many California pupils were recommended for the study by schoolteachers. Two pupils who were tested but rejected for inclusion in the study (because their IQ scores were too low) grew up to be Nobel Prize winners in physics, William Shockley,[28][29] and Luis Walter Alvarez.[30][31] Based on the historical findings of the Terman study and on biographical examples such as Richard Feynman, who had an IQ of 125 and went on to win the Nobel Prize in physics and become widely known as a genius,[32][33] the current view of psychologists and other scholars of genius is that a minimum level of IQ (approximately 125) is necessary for genius but not sufficient, and must be combined with personality characteristics such as drive and persistence, plus the necessary opportunities for talent development.[34][35][36]"
After searching up for their individual biographies, their IQ aren't below 125. So, I don't understand why the wiki considers the IQ of these 3 scientists (Shockley, Walter & Feymann) to be low. My theory is that there is some sort of average IQ for what is considered a genius? IQ alone is a whole topic I should read about in full context which leads to a whole discussion regarding it's history, science and statistics behind it. Your opinion really adds up to my understanding of IQ so I really appreciated that.
