What was Steve Jobs' IQ?

The estimates of Steve Jobs' IQ vary significantly depending on the source:

Scientific Estimation

A scientifically-grounded estimation by Cognidna, based on a correlation between SAT scores and IQ, suggests that Steve Jobs' IQ was approximately 140, with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 131 to 1491.

Speculative Higher Estimates

Other sources, including Brainmanager.io and Psychology Today, speculate that Steve Jobs' IQ was around 160, which is often associated with genius-level intelligence. However, these estimates are not based on the same level of scientific analysis as the 140 estimate24.

Given the differing methods and levels of scientific rigor, the estimate of 140 from Cognidna is more robustly supported by statistical analysis and correlation studies.
