If you think you’re smart, think again. There are those who are classified as the smartest people in the world!

The average IQ score for an full grown adult is around 100, people around you at school, college or work who you think are smart have a average of 120.
I’m not saying you’re unintelligent, but there are those whose intelligence surpasses the common human intellect. 
A person takes the “title” of genius if their IQ exceeds 140, which belongs to 0.5% of the world population. 50% of people have IQ between 90 and 110, while 2.5% of the population reaches a genius level with IQ of over 130.
