125claimed IQ points
Reported high-school IQ score of 125
James Gleick's biography reports a school IQ test result of 125 from Feynman's Far Rockaway High School years. The test name, edition, norms, and primary score report are not public.
Reported biographical claim: a school score of 125 is cited, but no primary test record is available.
Method and limits
Recorded the score as Gleick reported it and required a named test edition plus primary document before treating any famous-person IQ as verified.
- No public primary score report, test edition, or administration date accompanies the number.
- A childhood group test cannot be converted into an adult IQ or inferred from later scientific achievement.
Uncertainty: The number identifies a biographical report of a group school test. It is not a verified adult Full Scale IQ and should not be treated as Feynman's measured intelligence.
