Intelligence Is In The Eye Of The Beholder

June 25, 2025 by sd

Recently a South Korean scientist, Young-Hoon Kim, who claims he has an IQ of 276 (supposedly the highest IQ ever recorded) posted this on X: “As the world’s highest IQ record holder, I believe that Jesus Christ is God, the way and the truth and the life.”

We certainly agree with that. We certainly consider that viewpoint smart. (Einstein’s IQ estimated at between 160 and 180. The average person: about 100.)

IQ tests present patterns to test your “reasoning” abilities. They can involve shapes, colors, numbers, letters, or symbols. They can be linear, circular, or irregular. Which number comes next in the sequence: 3, 6, 12, 24, 48? (Answer, of course: 96.)

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as an actual score for intelligence, there are only tests—IQ, SAT, ACT—that seek to measure aspects of intelligence and rationality. Intelligence is in the eye of the beholder.

Many of those with high IQs and thus “rationalize” well have embraced unreasonable ideas such as natural selection in evolution and the Big Bang (the universe erupting out of nothing).

This is certainly not rational. More and more, even secularists, are realizing that by the day, especially as has to do with atheism.

No intelligent person can believe that creation is without the Creator.

The same with “artificial intelligence”: One of the major players in AI, Sam Altman, loudly proclaimed last week that we’d reached “singularity,” whereby some AI systems are now “smarter” than humans.

Rest assured, Mr. Altman: AI will never duplicate nor surpass the human mind. It may do many functions far faster than neural links. It certainly has a vastly better eidetic memory. It can scan information at the speed of light (which is the speed of electricity), can AI.

But let’s remember this (to quote J.B.S. Haldane): “All of the brain is in the mind but not all of the mind is in the brain.” A mathematical “genius”—a high-IQer—doesn’t necessarily have and often more important aspects of intelligence such as intuition and imagination, which are untestable. And “emotional intelligence”? Spiritual intelligence?

Those too can be lacking with folks who do well on standard tests but can’t think “beyond the box.” Attributes of perception, formulation, and cogitation can be of an order higher than simple logic. Indeed, how many who have scored high enough on standard tests to gain entry into high-flying schools go down the blind alley of believing the physical world is the only world that exists, when in fact it’s just a fraction of reality?
