Who is he - the most intelligent person in the world?

Speaking of something or someone in an excellent degree, you need to consider many factors. For example, who can be said to be the most intelligent person in the world? The highest can be measured, the heaviest - weigh. And how to determine the degree of the mind? Many are guided by the IQ indicator.

The smartest people in the world

• Terence Tao, who has an intelligence coefficient equal to 230 points, from childhood was noted for his cleverness and sharp mind. For example, while all the other two-year-olds could only boast of success in the art of talking and walking, Tao easily performed arithmetic. Perhaps, he is the most intelligent person in the world, after all, at the age of nine he studied mathematics on the university program! Terence Tao became the youngest professor all over the world, after which he began working at a university in California. In addition, he managed to write and publish over 250 works: both scientific and research.
• Marilyn Vos Savant is one of the most intelligent women in the world. 228 - this is the index of its IQ. The most surprising thing is that this value was fixed even when she was only ten years old. Of course, this result was recorded in the Guinness Book of Records. She lives in Missouri and is legally married to Robert Jarvik, a biologist. He, of course, is not the most intelligent person in the world, although not out of stupid: his IQ is 180 points. Scientists have long established that the intellect is about 50% inherited. So, the son of Marilyn has an intelligence coefficient equal to 164 points. Not as impressive as the mother, but much higher than average.
• IQ Christopher Hirata - no less than 225 points. Already at fourteen he could easily enter the California University of Technology. Two years later, he showed considerable success in researching NASA projects related to the colonization of the planet Mars. Important is the fact that Christopher at the age of 22 years became a doctor of philosophy in the field of astrophysical sciences.
• Kim Ung-Yong - a young genius originally from Korea, who has an IQ of 210 points and who for this reason came to the Guinness Book of Records. And not just that: already at the age of two he knew two languages!

However, many believe that assessing a person's mind according to IQ is an incorrect tactic. Perhaps, the title of a true intellectual deserves the one who made a revolutionary discovery in the field of science? Or the one who solved the problem that did not give rest to the great minds of the whole world for a whole century? If so, then, perhaps, the most intelligent person in the world is our compatriot, Grigory Perelman.

Many people tried to solve the Poincaré hypothesis , but Perelman, who posted the materials on the Internet in 2003, is the right decision. However, this fact is not interesting at all, although it also chills attention. Absolutely all scientists were amazed that he refused a well-deserved award - one million dollars (this money was allocated by the Clay Institute of Mathematics). And this despite the fact that Perelman resides in an apartment in which, according to the neighbors, there is nothing more than a table, a chair, an old mattress and crowds of cockroaches. But what to do, they are the most intelligent people!
