Is there a limit to how smart someone can be?

No insulting or teasing comments, please. This is a deep, respectful discussion. Thank you! <3

I don't think there are any limits, we are always learning and growing everyday, that's the beauty of knowledge and intelligence comes in so many different forms 🄰

On the Stanford-Binet IQ scale a score of 200 is commonly accepted as the highest possible one a human mind can achieve. (For context, a score of 160 or more is genius level...Einstein's score was not 170, if I recall correctly)

Einstein never actually took a formal IQ test cus there were no tests when he was alive. But the scientist who researched his brain says it was somewhere between 160-180Ā

I see. An interesting blog...it's no surprise about Malcolm Gladwell. He is a very popular writer. If you don't write in one of the fictional genres, the time-honored ways to sell a lot of copies include oversimplifying &/or decontextualizing complex truths into a message that most people find appealing. Gladwell isn't the first popsci writer to make a name for himself by doing so.

biologically yes. Our brain 🧠can only store a specific amount of data. But what makes people smarter than others is basically flexibility [wiring of neurons]. something neurologists call neuroplasticity.
