ABSTRACT
Some years ago I read about an eminent scientist who, several years after winning the Nobel prize, found out his IQ. Somehow his early school records came into his possession and on them was his IQ score. What struck him immediately was this: The number was too low to have enabled his accomplishments. Someone with that IQ could not possibly have made the groundbreaking discoveries he had made. He freely admitted that had he known his IQ, he would never have dreamed of embarking on his scientific career.
