  • On that test 170 is just the top, you cannot go higher. Actually the guy testing him said at the time it was probably higher but those were ceiling effects. His IQ on the stanford is much higher (tested again last summer). He basically tops out any IQ test he takes...so it is considered unmeasurable. Thanks for noticing. (oh and also he is not scary like kaczynski do not worry! Jacob is a philanthropist...so that should ease people's minds.)

  • Is Jacob still working on his big bang theory? Or disproving it?

  • What a privilege to witness a genius grow...

  • He is so cute. Can he tutor my dick.

  • Poor teacher always faces being challenged lol

  • If im not mistaken IQ is based on a normal distribution. They said one in 10 million is as smart or smarter than he is, so couldn't you calculate his IQ with that information alone?

  • @mgunar He's still smarter than you were at his age, so shut up.

  • Psychology in one word, strategy. A book written by Sun Tzu 2,000 years ago will show you as it shows everyone who reads it the easiest path of the mind. You will gain more insight into the workings of Jacobs mind, you'll wonder why it was never brought up before, if it hadn't. A prodigy defined, thier fantasy life is the reality we all see, and that is why their mind is so efficent. They see the beauty of simplicity so well, its almost a third nature. That is why everything seems so easy.

  • @mjccmc82 You are comparing two individuals who live in two different eras. What TK experienced in his time in terms of grade placement clearly was different - the IQs still might be similar.

  • i swear ill get a sample of this kids seed one day.

  • Leonardo Da Vinci had an estimated IQ of 220, but I believe it could have been more. Come to think of it, I hate IQ tests. They're just numbers :D
