About The Genius Index

Welcome to The Genius Index, the world's most comprehensive catalog of human intelligence. Our mission is to document, analyze, and celebrate the cognitive achievements of history's greatest minds—from scientific visionaries and artistic prodigies to strategic masterminds and unexpected geniuses.

Our Mission

We believe that intelligence takes many forms. While traditional IQ scores provide one metric, they often fail to capture the full spectrum of human capability. At The Genius Index, we analyze profiles based on a holistic "Cognitive Blueprint," looking at:

• Logical-Mathematical Intelligence: The ability to quantify and hypothesize.
• Verbal-Linguistic Intelligence: Mastery of language and rhetoric.
• Spatial & Kinesthetic Intelligence: Physical precision and geometric understanding.
• Creative & Strategic Intelligence: The ability to innovate and navigate complex systems.

Editorial Standards

Accuracy is our priority. Our profiles are researched using verified sources, biographies, and academic records. When precise IQ scores are not publicly verified, we provide estimates based on standardized testing proxies (SATs, GREs, Mensa memberships) and peer assessments, always clearly distinguishing between verified data and estimates.
