What is Stephen Hawking's IQ?

Answer 1

Although Professor Hawking discounts the value of numerical IQ's, he admitted that his own is likely very high (it has been suggested as 160 or more). He also said that "People who boast about their IQ's are losers". (see link to 2004 interview)

---a possibly dramatized anecdote from Introducing Stephen Hawking (2006)---

Near the end of his term at Oxford and no doubt beginning to feel the effects of ALS, Hawking took a terrible fall down a staircase in the university hall. As a result, he temporarily lost his memory. He could not even remember his name. After several hours of interrogation by his friends, he finally returned to normal but was worried about possible permanent brain damage. To be sure, he decided to take the Mensa test for individuals with superior intelligence. He was delighted to find that he passed with flying colours, scoring between 200 and 250!

Answer 2

That can never actually be told because supposedly, Einstein never took an IQ test in the first place. Most of Stephen Hawking's theories may be based on Einstein's, but remember even supercomputers are based on ENIACs.

Answer 3

Stephen Hawking's IQ has never been definitively determined or publicly disclosed. IQ tests are also not always the most accurate measure of intelligence, as they may not capture the full range of a person's intellectual abilities.
