"Well-developed limbs, simple mind!" When it comes to professional athletes, people are used to describing them this way. But if you still look at professional athletes today, you don't know them yet. Not to mention intellectual projects such as bridge, Go, and chess, even football, which is known for its "barbaric physique", has long exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. Many athletes have tested and have an IQ above 150.
IQ 150. What concept? Only one out of a thousand Englishmen can meet this standard. Einstein, the leading scientist in science, is only a little higher than this number. In a word, "people at this IQ level are geniuses"
Take football, for example. Dr. Inglish, the team doctor of the world's No. 1 football league giants Chelsea, once organised an IQ test for his players. The result was Frank Lampard's highest score, even reaching the highest level ever in this test. The doctor said sadly: "Taller than me." For the sake of work ethic, he did not disclose the specific results of any tests, but roughly defined Frank Lampard's IQ range: above 150!
Frank Lampard is not the most intelligent among sportsmen, let alone the smartest. The French player Batory who won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1922 and was eliminated by Zheng Jie once attracted worldwide attention for his high intelligence. She once revealed to the French media that her IQ is as high as 175. Although Bartoli claimed to have been deliberately keeping this gorgeous secret, she finally let the world know without keeping a low profile. Bartory's IQ surpassed that of Einstein and Bill Gates.
Yao Ming can take the lead, naturally inseparable from his physical condition. Well-developed limbs may be considered the first condition for him to become a superstar, but who knows that Yao Ming's IQ is definitely above average? According to information, the well-known IQ research website "IQ Test Network" in the United States has tested the IQ of NBA players. As a result, Yao Ming had the highest IQ among the active players at the time, reaching 132, surpassing LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal. His Rockets team averaged just 98, and all NBA players had an average IQ of 83. According to international practice, IQs between 80 and 90 are "slightly below average intelligence" In addition, Mark Madsen, nicknamed "Mad Dog", is seen as a representative of highly educated NBA players. He holds a bachelor's degree in economics from Stanford University.
