What was Michael Jackson's IQ? Good question. No answers other than to estimate what the self proclaimed "King of Pop" IQ score was. Although Michael Jackson was proclaimed to be a genius by media sources, he was more than likely far from being a genius than what we know are verified genius of our day such as Bill Gates and Stephan Hawking. Michael Jackson probably functioned in the average to above average level of intelligence range.
To the best of my knowledge the King of Pop did not play a musical instrument. The only reason to make this point is that musical intelligence can be defined by how well a person can play music on his instrument. Since he did not openly display his talent for the ability to play an instrument, it is probably safe to say that he did not have that talent. However, he provided lyrics and others such as Quincy Jones provided the instrumentation as well as the smooth production which sent Michael Jackson over the top.
Whatever the King of Pop's IQ level was it was hampered by the medications and narcotics.
Just a quick note. Kim Ung Yong is the smartest man in the world. He hails from Korea. A short bio is in the mid section of famous iqs. The IQ of Stephan Hawking can be found as you scroll down the page. I have had numerous request for his IQ lately. But so you don't gloss over Stephan Hawking's IQ, take a moment to scroll down to the Celebrity IQ section complete with photographs and you will find Mr. Hawking IQ as well.
Besides tending bar and waiting tables, many celebrities had the benefit of a higher education. Well known Hollywood actors such as James Woods, Geena Davis, and Sharon Stone have had their intelligence tested and there are no low IQ scores to report from these three smart people. However, the lowest celebrity IQ Score encounters so far points to George H.W. Bush. (That's George Sr.)He checks in with an IQ Score of 98 which is not really a low IQ Score. In fact, an IQ Score of 98 is very normal and average. It's rumored that his son, President George Bush scored low on his IQ test, but read the next paragraph and it debunks the myth that George Bush is a total nitwit.

Okay, I know that someone is gonna blow a gasket because Bill Clinton is listed at 137 on the bottom part of the page and James Woods has an IQ of 180 at the bottom of the page. There can be one of three things wrong: The SAT scores are wrong; the SAT conversion table to IQ scores is wrong; or the IQ's that I have in the lower table is wrong.
I am not going to repair this at the moment. I want to do some more research and see where the error is located. I know that there are several people who routinely email me with updates and sometimes they have valid proof or a correction. So, I'll do a little more digging around and see what turns up. I would be willing to bet that I received some bunk SAT scores. But I'll get to the bottom of this and straighten this out.
All indicators exclude President George Bush from being a total nitwit. He is very intelligent as his IQ to SAT Scores indicate. His combined SAT score of 1206 indicates that he has an estimated IQ Score of 125 which is well above average intelligence.
It appears that some democrats who were bashing George Bush wanted to exalt former President Clinton. They falsely list Bill Clinton's IQ Score at 182 when in fact it is closer to 137. So that's IQ myth debunked number 2.
Uma Thurman has a some fanatical "goddess worshipers" as they refer to themselves that claims that she has an IQ Score of 183. However, we can find no proof of any test or exam that reveals her true IQ.
Actress and Singer, Jessica Simpson does not have an IQ of 160; at least that's what I thought until I read this article on www.people.com/ " Jessica Simpson's mom told Vanity Fair that Jessica was given an IQ test in fifth grade after her teacher called her a "space cadet." Tina Simpson claims her daughter scored a 160, which is genius level.
Dallas Cowboy's Quarterback Tony Romo IQ is estimated at 124 - 125. His Wonderlic NFL QB Test was scored at 30.
Paris Hilton is not a member of MENSA. We can't find anything to suggest that Paris or Jessica could score higher than average intelligence on a supervised IQ test.
Britney Spears is not in MENSA. Nothing to indicate that Britney Spears has an IQ above average intelligence.
Kim Ung Yong is the smartest person in the world! His IQ Score is rated at a hefty 210! The following excerpt is from Wikipedia... "Kim Ung-Yong is a Korean former child prodigy. He scored a 210 IQ on the Stanford-Binet test according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
That IQ Score makes him the smartest person in the world. Many sites list either Marilyn Vos Savant or Chris Langan improperly as the smartest person in the world but its clear, hands down, Kim Yong from Korea is the smartest person in the world.
The highest recorded IQ Score for a living female goes to Marilyn Vos Savant. She has an IQ Score of 186. Marilyn Vos Savant is a national columnist and author. Her syndicated column is called Ask Marilyn. She is an executive at Jarvik Heart, Inc.
