In genius studies, Cox-Buzan-Platt IQ refers to "mean IQ" of geniuses common to the 1926 Cox IQ ranking (300 geniuses), the 1962 Platt IQ ranking (12 geniuses), and the 1994 Buzan IQ ranking (100 geniuses), which only amounts to two, namely: Newton (IQCPB:192) and Darwin (IQCPB:173); these two IQ numbers, to a good approximation, might be the only two unbiased sober rankings in the entire top 1000 genius rankings.
Overview
The following are the mean IQs of the geniuses common to the Cox IQs (1926), Platt IQs (1962), and Buzan IQs (1994):
