Who is the smartest person in the world?

Over the years, IQ tests show that about half of the people in the world have an IQ of 90- 1 10, which can be regarded as a normal level. /kloc-more than 0/30, quite smart, accounting for 2.5% of the total population; If it is higher than 140, it is a genius, accounting for only 0.5% of the global population.

The American Super Scholar Consulting Company conducted a survey of the living high IQ people and selected the top ten geniuses in the world. On the list, Stephen Hawking is regarded as the most outstanding theoretical physicist after Einstein. However, Hawking's IQ is 160, which is not high in the rankings. China's mathematical genius Tao Zhexuan and South Korean prodigy Kim Young-jung have IQs as high as 230 and 265,438+00 respectively.

Tao Zhexuan who can "teach" at the age of two.

Tao Zhexuan, a 37-year-old Australian of Chinese descent, has an IQ of 230, ranking first in the list of the top ten talents.

His father Tao is from Shanghai and his mother Liang Huilan is from Guangdong. Both of them graduated from the University of Hong Kong and 1972 immigrated to Australia. Tao Zhexuan was born in southern Australia, the eldest son of his family.

From an early age, Tao Zhexuan showed a keen grasp of numbers and language. Once, friends and relatives of the Tao family got together, and many children came to the family. Two-year-old Tao Zhexuan became a little teacher, teaching arithmetic and English to a five-year-old child, which surprised the adults present.

How do two-year-old children master arithmetic and know English words? My father replied, I learned it from the children's TV program Sesame Street.

At the age of 8, Tao Zhexuan took the SAT (American College Entrance Examination) math test and got a high score of 760 (out of 800). I started studying college mathematics at the age of 9. From the age of 10, he participated in the International Mathematical Olympiad for three consecutive years and won the bronze medal, silver medal and gold medal respectively. He is not only the youngest contestant in the history of Olympic mathematics, but also the youngest winner.

From 65438 to 0992, Tao Zhexuan won the prestigious Fulbright Scholarship and went to Princeton University for further study. At the age of 20, he got a doctorate. At the age of 24, he became a full-time professor at UCLA and the youngest full-time professor in the history of the university. By this time, Tao Zhexuan had published more than 230 research reports, and in 2006, he won the Fields Medal, the highest honor in mathematics.

Jin Yingyong with a normal heart

Ung yong Kim, 50 years old, was born in Seoul, South Korea, with an IQ of 2 10. He was "certified" by Guinness World Records as the smartest person in the world.

Under the careful education of his parents, Ung yong Kim was able to speak six months after birth. At the age of three, he could read and write Japanese, Korean, English and German, and he could solve complicated calculus equations. South Korean prodigy was tracked by the media, which also alarmed the education sector. A high school in Los Angeles wrote to 4-year-Ung yong Kim and invited him to study in the United States. Hanyang University in Korea allowed prodigies to attend classes, so he went to classes at the age of three.

At the age of eight Ung yong Kim received an invitation from NASA to study in the United States. He worked for NASA for 10 years, and received a doctorate in physics at the age of 15.

Then, something unexpected happened-——Ung Yong Kim returned to South Korea in 1978. Instead of continuing his academic research, he switched to studying civil engineering, and then worked as an employee in the business planning department of Zhongbei Development Corporation.

The Korean media was at a loss and exclaimed that "the myth of prodigy is shattered!" Many people laugh at Jin Yingzong as a "failed genius".

In the face of this reaction, Huang Yongjin is in distress situation. He recalled that the 65,438+00 years of working for NASA looked like scenery, but it was actually lonely. "I think my life is like a machine-getting up, solving equations, eating and sleeping, day after day." Living in the spotlight of the media for a long time also bored him. "I feel like a monkey in the zoo."

"People want me to be a senior government official or a corporate executive. Now, just because I didn't follow people's expectations, they say that my life has failed, which is meaningless. " Weng Yongjin said in an interview with media.

"Society should not use a single standard to measure everyone, because everyone has different learning levels, hopes, talents and dreams and should be respected." Ung yong Kim said.
