![]() | A fact from William James Sidis appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the
Did you know column on 15 April 2004. The text of the entry was as follows:
| ![]() |
"raised in a particular manner" ... "their methods of parenting" ... "Sidis's manner of upbringing": excruciatingly vague phrases paired with noisy apologetics for that which is not stated. Enough teasing! Just what were his parents' methods? Did they beat him? Ground him? What? 67.180.143.89 ( talk) 05:52, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
IQ is a ranking score, that states the ratio of people that a smarter than you
an IQ of 100 have a frequency of 1:2, meaning that 1 in 2 persons will have a higher G-factor (generalized intelligence) than that individual.
an IQ of 130 have a frequency of 1:50 (Mensa level)
an IQ of 180 have a frequency of 1:20 million
an IQ of 200 have a frequency of 1:75 billion
an IQ of 210 have a frequency of 1:9 trillion
an IQ of 220 is hard to calculate as you reach the numerical maxima of double precision computation
In other words.. No, 250 is just not possible and would be in the ballpark of 1:observable universe given all planets in it were inhabited as densely as earth.

The amount of detail in this section feels like it gives "authority" to his ideas - especially the "found notes" section. Perhaps this would be best deleted unless any of it is peer-reviewed literature or summaries of peer-reviewed literature? I'm honestly not sure what the standard is for inclusion in these sections. 2601:1C2:1600:22E0:1426:54D7:F14B:679 ( talk) 02:08, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
