Technically speaking, the first IQ test was developed by French psychologist, Alfred Binet in 1905. His test has provided the base for all modern IQ tests that are widely used today. However, the interest of scientists and psychologists in intelligence dates back to thousands of years.
IQ tests were first used in France in 1904 to identify intelligent children. And since then, experts have estimated that the 18th Century German writer and poet Goethe had the highest IQ in history, at 210. The tests are not a measure of general knowledge, but of how the mind copes with reasoning problems and mental arithmetic. Normal IQ is from 85 to 115, and genius level starts at 145.
