Einstein never took an IQ test. The 160 to 170 thing is just a shot at a guess. Also, iq scores don't cap out at 200.

I'm aware the 160 is a guess, thanks for clarifying. I'll edit. Also, because of the nature of normal distribution and standard deviation, IQ given the current world population can only go up to 194.8

But you're technically right (the best kind of right), it could go above 200 with a world population of 76 billion.

Your iq link is just some guy asking a question and saying he thinks statistically the highest can only be 194.8 and then people replying telling him how he's wrong, fyi.
