What the record supports

Every card keeps the measure, year, method, and limitations attached to the number—or explains why no number is shown.

Disputed claim2023

160claimed IQ points

A widely repeated number for which the reviewed source found no credible test record or traceable evidentiary basis.

Disputed: no credible evidence supports a specific Einstein IQ.

Method and limits

Russell T. Warne traced published Einstein IQ assertions and compared their sources, dates, and inconsistent values.

No primary test report, named test edition, administration date, or score protocol supports 160.
Other unsupported numbers have also circulated; disagreement among them does not create a valid range.

Uncertainty: The number identifies the claim only and must not be interpreted as Einstein's measured or estimated score.
