Stephen Hawking’s IQ – How Yours Compares to His and Other Famous Persons’ IQ

There is a lot of talk recently about Stephen Hawking since his recent comment about God and the creation of the universeand the release of his upcoming book. This has led to many searching for information on Hawking. Interestingly his IQ is reported around 160. Hawking claimed, “people who boast about their IQs are losers”. In our book about understanding personalities and intelligence, my daughter, Toni Rothpletz, and I wrote about the importance of IQ and EQ (emotional quotient or measure of emotional intelligence). Many organizations now are putting more of a focus on hiring those with a high EQ. However, it may be fun to see how your IQ compares to some famous people in history.
