Appr. how many genius people are in the US?
542700
All you need to be classified a genius is an IQ above 145, and not internet IQ either.  According to the site about 1 in 400 people are genius, although that number seems a little high to me.  I was thinking more like 1 in 1000 or 1 in 10000

Genius is a statistical measure of IQ. Since China has the most people it must have the most geniuses, followed by India. \n\nBut the results that we associate with genius are also a function of opportunity, hard work and success. That is why so many Chinese and Indian geniuses, along with the geniuses from many other countries, are now living in the United States.\n\nAnother way to look at what I am getting at is a map of the world colored by patents per million population. See the link. China is at the bottom of that scale, and the US,and some other European nations are at the top.

No.....I think that some of us are smart, some are geniuses, but in the whole we are average. I have nothing to base this on, but looking at some of the wonders of this planet, it almost seems arrogant of us to assume that we are the only ones in this universe that are smart. The universe is vast and wide and we have yet to come close to discovering it's full areas. It's almost like owning a mansion and not getting to see all the rooms.

I don't think we'll ever know.  High IQ does not equal fame or "success."\n\nIf you're talking about the most intelligent popular person, most would say Einstein.  I think he was one really smart guy, but come on...he had one big idea.  He was a one-hit wonder.  Granted, it was a BIG idea, but I don't think that physicists needed E=mc^2 to figure out the atomic bomb or atomic fission.\n\nI think that most individuals would not qualify as "most intelligent."  I think you'll have to look at a society for that one.  The most intelligent society, I think, would be the Western world, including Japan and others that are of a similar perspective.  They made great strides in human rights, technology, world peace, and charity.  And these things were accomplished by many great leaders, and the society that agreed with them.

The average IQ is generally 100, although you can get the average IQ listed by state here: http://www.mindfully.org/Reform/2004/US-Election-IQ2004.htm\n\n120 is a very good score.  That is a higher score than 91% of the population.

Well i now feel STUPID! lol I am rolling it at 128.  But I do know people who have scored above 150 two are my brothers.  People are getting smarter!\nDescriptive Classifications of Intelligence Quotients \n  \nIQ Description % of Population \n130+ Very superior 2.2% \n120-129 Superior 6.7% \n110-119 High average 16.1% \n90-109 Average 50% \n80-89 Low average 16.1% \n70-79 Borderline 6.7% \nBelow 70 Extremely low 2.2% \n\nApparently, the IQ gives a good indication of the occupational group that a person will end up in, though not of course the specific occupation. In their book, Know Your Child’s IQ, Glen Wilson and Diana Grylls outline occupations typical of various IQ levels:\n\n140 Top Civil Servants; Professors and Research Scientists. \n130 Physicians and Surgeons; Lawyers; Engineers (Civil and Mechanical) \n120 School Teachers; Pharmacists; Accountants; Nurses; Stenographers; Managers. \n110 Foremen; Clerks; Telephone Operators; Salesmen; Policemen; Electricians. \n100+ Machine Operators; Shopkeepers; Butchers; Welders; Sheet Metal Workers. \n100- Warehousemen; Carpenters; Cooks and Bakers; Small Farmers; Truck and Van Drivers. \n90 Laborers; Gardeners; Upholsterers; Farmhands; Miners; Factory Packers and Sorters. \nWell now I don't feel so stupid! lol

No, I'm a scientist but I'm certainly not a genius. You do need to have an imaginative mind though. Most of the hands on work we do - anybody could do. Its thinking about why things work the way they do which is the hard bit. Most reasonable intelligent people can become scientists if they have a bit of imagination.

I would guess at least 5 billion. How could you get a number anyways. I know there is census, but there are just way to many people to count like that, especially in places that are remote. Now I am curious lol.

I don't know.  But in the USA it should be close to 800,000 people.  Mind boggling huh?

Yes, we all are capable of absorbing the same amount of knowledge except as mentioned people with disabilities. Studies are now showing we all have different learning patterns but it doesn't necessarily mean higher intelligence. We are all exceptionally smart creatures. All of us.

I think there have always been idiots and there always will be. I don't know if there is a growing majority of idiots, but I guess as the world's population grows then the number of idiots grows too. But on the other hand, I strongly believe that dumb people have more kids than smart people. So I guess their percentage of the population could indeed be rising.
