According to Mensa International, IQ is a score that identifies how far above or below someone is in comparison to others' mental ability. The term was coined in 1912, and since then, IQ tests have been further developed to define standard deviations of someone's logic and reasoning. Even with tests, intelligence is not easy to measure. Those who are considered "the smartest people in the world," such as Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein, do not have extraordinarily high IQ scores in comparison with others.
