Mental genius ratings by Stanford psychologists on 801 prodigies
A study led by Dr Catharine Cox with Dr Lewis Terman and others assigns childhood IQ scores to 801 famous individuals born 1450 to 1850. John Milton and John Stuart Mill top the list with high marks, while figures like Napoleon and Beethoven show lower precocity. The research notes that deeper childhood records yield higher ratings and warns against overextending conclusions to world genius potential.
