Here we go again with the equalisation of IQ test as a measure of intelligence. People with high IQ’s can score poor on an IQ test, for any number of reasons. My brother scored poorly on his first test, because he didn’t cooperate with the psychologist who administered it — he was five and that kind of behavior is not uncommon at that age. Fortunately, my parents had the wherewithal to have him tested by a private psychologist who went to the trouble of winning his trust, and that time, he maxed out the test. I always keep that in mind as a reminder that we should be cautious in interpreting IQ scores here. And an Aspie friend here was considered slow for many years, because he has a language disability — but as a teenager, he scored above 130, in the gifted range, and is no doubt smarter because his language difficulties still interfere with his ability to take the test. There are lots more reasons why a smart kid could get a poor score — vision problems, dyslexia, ADHD, trauma at home, even lack of sleep.
In view of this, this can never be used as a merit to determine intelligence. This holds ever more true when you consider the test cognitively (historically) favours people with science background.

Youngadvocate:
Philip Emeagwali has been listed as amongst the top 10 most intelligent people in the world, having the acclaimed IQ of 190.

Philip Emeagwali, of course, is a renowed and world-acclaimed engineer, mathematician, computer scientist and geologist who was one of two winners of the 1989 Gordon Bell Prize, a prize from the IEEE, for his use of a Connection Machine supercomputer to help detect petroleum fields.

He has the 9th slot directly below Marilyn vos Savant, 8th with verified IQ of 190 and directly above 10th placed Garry Kasparov who is alleged to have an IQ of 190.

The Igbo-born Nigerian is credited for inventing a formula that allows supercomputers powered by thousands of processors to perform billions of calculations per second, a discovery that made international headlines and inspired the reinvention of supercomputers.

The supercomputer comprises of thousands of networked computers and the Internet also comprises of millions of networked computers. The supercomputer spawned the Internet.

Emeagwali’s 1970s hypothesis on 64,000 networked computers around the Earth led to his programming of 64,000 processors inside a big box to perform 3.1 billion calculations per second, a world record in 1989. For the latter achievement, he won the 1989 Gordon Bell Prize, which is the “Nobel prize of supercomputing.”

If given opportunity majority of Nigerians have high IQs ranging from our mechanics, carpenters, artisans and etc.. Trust me Nigerians are the most intelligent people across the world.. If only we have a structure or program that gives opportunity to the citizens we can conquer the world in innovative break throughs.

You're actually wrong in one detail: The Gordon Bell Prize is not the Nobel prize of computing.
The highest honor given to a computer scientist is the Turing Prize.

Pure LIE! Philip Emeagwali left Nigeria for USA at the age of 15.
The only tests that measure up to 190(mental age tests) are taken at the maximum age of 12.
No legit standardized adult iq tests measure above 162( SD=15).
Funny enough the dude never took an iq test. His Iq of 190 has always been "alleged to be".

emegwali that have been proved to be a fraud.The guy never got a Ph.D took University of Michigan to court to force them to award him a Ph.D
A friend of mine just graduated from University of Michigan.
Court case and the denial of degree

"Emeagwali studied for a Ph.D. degree from the University of Michigan from 1987 through 1991. His thesis was not accepted by a committee of internal and external examiners and thus he was not awarded the degree. Emeagwali filed a court challenge, stating that the decision was a violation of his civil rights and that the university had discriminated against him in several ways because of his race. The court challenge was dismissed, as was an appeal to the Michigan state Court of Appeals.[8]"
