There are plenty of rumors online about Melania Trump\u2019s IQ, but the frequently quoted figure of 200 seems, well, rather baseless. Even so, lots of folks really do believe that the wife of quadruple-indicted, fat former President Donald Trump really is a genius,\u00a0Express<\/em>\u00a0claims.<\/p>\n Attempts to get an accurate idea of the former first lady\u2019s IQ picked up steam in 2018 when it was discovered she was granted the so-called \u201cEinstein visa\u201d to gain entry into the U.S. The Einstein visa is granted to those who are highly acclaimed in their line of work.<\/p>\n And of course, this left a lot of people rather curious as to why she was even granted this. When she applied for the visa Melania hadn\u2019t gained any particular renown in the modeling field. She was, however, dating Donald Trump.<\/p>\n But to apply for the EB-1, an applicant should provide evidence of a major award. Either that or meet three of ten criteria, per Express. And in general, the criteria demonstrate that a person has made important achievements in the field that they work in. So you can see where this leads to questions \u2014 exactly what kind of work as a model would Melania Trump have done to earn something like this?<\/p>\n And here\u2019s another thing about EB-1 visas, according to Express: \u201cThey are nationally recognized awards for excellence, membership in associations that demand achievement from members, published material about you in major media, having been asked to judge an award, having done original work which contributes significantly to your field, having had scholarly articles published, having had work displayed in an exhibition, having a leading or critical role in a distinguished organization, evidence of a high salary and evidence of commercial success in the performing arts.\u201d<\/p>\n As you might expect, there are the usual questionable websites that claim the former first lady\u2019s intelligence is quite high.\u00a0IQ-test.com\u00a0places her I.Q. at 200, while another,\u00a0Celebrity IQs.com lists it as 110. Which seems at least more likely. IQ-test.com posts no evidence about why it\u2019s given Melania a lofty IQ and seems to have based its guess on a quote that\u2019s attributed to her:<\/p>\n \u201cNo one knows this, but I am the smartest fashion model the fashion industry has ever known. I have an I.Q of over 200 on the\u00a0Terman scale.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n But there\u2019s not any evidence to ever suggest Melania even said this. That hasn\u2019t stopped the statement from making its way through social media, and this has led some people to believe the quote is valid.<\/p>\n I think it\u2019s time to put things in a different perspective: Anyone having a 200 I.Q. would be more intelligent than Albert Einstein and would be considered \u201cprofoundly gifted\u201d according to the test.<\/p>\n Sure there\u2019s a small chance that Melania may have a 200 I.Q. even though it\u2019s definitely not likely. According to The Guinness Book of World Records, the person considered to currently have the highest I.Q. is Kim Un Yong, who was studying differential calculus by the age of three and whose I.Q. is 210.<\/p>\n I can\u2019t see Melania studying differential calculus at any age, can you? She\u2019s clearly no dummy, but c\u2019mon. Let\u2019s get real here. And what awards has she received, other than the booby prize when she married Donald Trump? I mean, she often\u00a0doesn\u2019t even write her own speeches,\u00a0as Michelle Obama can tell you.<\/p>\n And let\u2019s be real, does this look like someone with an IQ of 200?<\/p>\n
