IQ stands for Intelligence Quotient. There are a number of tests designed to assess one's IQ, one of the more popular ones being the Stanford-Binet, which must be renormed every few years so that 100 is average. It turns out the human IQ appears to be rising, with measureable differences occurring over 20 year spans.

The test is not a perfect assessment, of course, but its developers work hard to eliminate cultural bias. Those who are good at recalling facts tend to perform better than those with superior analytical skills, but IQ tests do at least provide a somewhat useful metric.

What is canibus IQ?

Canibus (The rapper) actual IQ number has never been released or said to the public. That's the answer, Canibus himself is the only person that could tell you what his actual IQ is. I know a lot about IQ though. As an educated guess I would say his IQ is in the range of 130-155 (average is 100, or 97), he could possibly be at, or near, the "genius" range.
