Publicly reported IQ figures (5)
These are public reported IQ figures or profile-documented IQ claims tied to people represented in the broader intelligence conversation. They are reference context only and are not IQMean Test results.
| Profile | Reported Score / Record | Evidence Type | Test / Basis | Context | Sources | Why it is separate from IQMean |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marilyn vos Savant | 228 | Reported IQ | Guinness-era Stanford-Binet childhood score reported in Parade and later profile summaries. | Shown as a public historical report tied to an older testing context. It is separated from IQMean because childhood ratio-style and high-range scores are not directly comparable to modern normed IQMean results. | Parade author page · Profile summary | External public record only. Not from IQMean Tests and not directly comparable across different scales, ages, or test designs. |
| Kim Ung-yong | 210 | Reported IQ | Public reporting commonly ties this number to childhood Stanford-Binet testing and Guinness-era record coverage. | Included as a public reported figure associated with the profile. It remains separate from IQMean because the reporting context is historical and not directly aligned to IQMean scoring. | Profile summary · Korea Herald | External public record only. Not from IQMean Tests and not directly comparable across different scales, ages, or test designs. |
| Evangelos Katsioulis | 198 | Reported IQ | Adult high-range testing figure commonly reported as IQ 198 on an SD 15 scale. | Listed as a public high-range testing report tied to the profile.

Not from IQMean Tests and not directly comparable across different scales, ages, or test designs. |
| Rick Rosner | 192 | Reported IQ | Public reporting often places Rosner in the low 190s based on high-range test coverage. | The score is shown as a public profile-context report only. It is not folded into IQMean because the underlying test basis differs from IQMean tests and norms. | Verywell Mind · Profile summary | External public record only. Not from IQMean Tests and not directly comparable across different scales, ages, or test designs. |
