A caricature of “real genius”, based on quotes by Hawking and Aristotle, respectively, and “fake genius”, based on quotes by Rick Rosner, Christopher Langan, and Marta Rodiguez, respectively.

In genius studies, inflated IQ, abbreviated "IIQ", related to IQ miscalculation, "feigned IQs", IQ overestimates, contrived IQs, fool's gold IQ, overzealous IQs, faked IQs, snake oil IQs, scam IQs, fictional IQs, propaganda IQs, disingenuous IQs, etc., as compared to as compared to a "real IQ", true IQs, or genius IQs, etc. refers to a genius level intelligence quotient (IQ), i.e. those above 140, purported to be possessed by someone who is not a genius, not at the genius level purported to be, but claims to be or is sold as such, and or childhood age ratio based potential IQs sold as real IQs in adulthood.

Abbreviation

The notation (IIQ:#|#), e.g. Ronald Hoeflin (IIQ:190|#26) indicates an individuals highest inflated IQ and their position ranking in the top 35+ famously inflated IQ listings (below)

Overview
It has been estimated, based on data of test scores of various accelerating learning centers, that child psychologists, using standard ratio IQ test methods, miscalculate children to have IQs in 200 to 220 range, at a rate of one child per three US state region, every two year period, approximately. These, to note, are not exactly "fake IQs", but rather calculation over-estimates that get fed into children's minds, some of which get passed into the media, by parents, in hopes of getting scholarships, funding, and what not, above standard education.

Terms related and or synonymous to feigned IQs are: snake oil IQ, fake IQ, overzealous IQs, scam IQ, fool’s gold IQ, showboater IQ, news media IQ, age ratio overestimates or miscalculations, etc., refers to someone who claims, sells, or is cited as having a high-end, over-the-top, overestimated, and or mis-calculated genius IQ score, of 140 or above, of themselves or someone else (e.g. a parent), for monetary (e.g. Diamond, c.2000), marketing (e.g. O’Brien, 2014), publicity (e.g. Savant, 1986), vainglory, or self-aggrandization (e.g. Katsioulis, c.2010); a fake IQ is akin to someone selling snake oil in olden days. The tagline "smarter than Einstein" generally accompanies the faked IQ. [8]

In 1916, Lewis Terman, building on the earlier childhood intelligence studies of Alfred Binet (1899), Theodore Simon (c.1890), and William Stern (1912), invented the modern concept of "IQ" via the following formula:

$IQ = 100\frac{MA}{CA} \,$

where MA is "mental age", i.e. age determined by normal score on some test designed for a certain age, and CA is chronological age, i.e. the actual age of the child, young adult, or person (see: Terman IQ; ratio IQ). The formula for its original intended purposes, i.e. testing for idiocy in children, seemed to work generally well. When, however, a child is testing at double their age, the formula gives "screwy" results.

The most-famous of these "IQ miscalculations" is Terman's 1917 calculation of Francis Galton's IQ. Specifically, based on the fact that Galton in 1826, at age 4, could to the following: read any English book; say all the Latin substantives and adjectives and active verbs; "read fifty-two lines of Latin poetry; add and multiply numbers 2 to 11; say the pence table; read a little French; and know the clock", which is what the average eight year old, during this period, could do, Terman calculated Galton's age four IQ as follows:

$IQ_{Galton_{age4}} \cong 100 \frac{8}{4} = 200 \,$

“From the evidence given, one is justified in concluding that between ages of three and eight years, at least, Francis Galton must have had an intelligence quotient (IQ) not far from 200.”
— Lewis Terman (1917), “The Intelligence Quotient of Francis Galton in Childhood” [9]

In 1926, to compound matters, Catherine Cox, Terman's graduate student, published the calculated IQs of the top 300 geniuses (see: Cox IQs), from the best of the Cattell 1000, among which, e.g. the IQs of Gottfried Leibniz, Isaac Newton, and Leonardo da Vinci, were determined to be: 205, 190, and 180, respectively. Accordingly, based on these Terman (1917) and Cox (1926) calculations, we are led to believe, according to these psychologists, that Galton was smarter than Newton AND da Vinci, and that Leibniz was smarter than all three? This is an example of calculations leading to nonsense results. Whatever the case, a cottage industry of psychological IQ testing arose in the century to follow. Four year old children could now take eight year old IQ tests, and go on to boast, for their remaining days of existence, that their IQ is up in the 200 range and that they are smarter than Newton, Einstein, or Hawking.

The most-famous of these feigned over-the-top estimated IQ calculations is that of the 1981 IQ calculation of the five-year-old Adragon De Mello (1976-) (Ѻ) by his father Agustin de Mello, who reasoned that since his son, at age five, could pass an intelligence test designed for a twenty-year-old, that his son's IQ was 400:

“Agustin tested AD's intelligence when the boy turned five. He calculated an IQ of 400, meaning AD might rank as the greatest intellect in history.”
— Kurson Robert (2002), “Just Another Father-Son Story” [10]

In short, in the 20th century, the selling of people as presumed and or certified "geniuses", per some age-based ratio IQ calculation score, on some simple one or two hour test, has led to the phenomena of people selling faked of feigned genius IQs like people of the 19th century used to sell snake oil as a kind of fix-all, albeit one without potency.

The prodigy burn out ratio, to note, i.e. the number of geniuses, that one might remotely hear about, per batch of 100 child prodigies, according to Israeli-American violinist Itzhak Perlman (c.1990), is a 1-to-50 ratio, “for every child prodigy that you know about, at least 50 potential ones have burned out (see: thermal word) before you even heard about them.” In other words, for every 50 potential prodigies a child psychologist tests to have a potential IQ in the extreme genius range, you might only end up hearing about one of these, and maybe, centuries later, only a handful of these one's we hear about make it into the top 500 geniuses range.

High IQ society | Scams
In 1948, Roland Berrill and Lancelot Ware invented the Mensa Society as a so-promoted "intellectual club" for people tested with IQs of 132.

In 1966, Christopher Harding (1945-), pictured adjacent, was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records (see: Guinness Book IQ), under the category, "The Smartest Man in the World", listed with an IQ of 197; in 1974, Harding founded the International Society for Philosophical Enquiry; about the third oldest high IQ society (IQ:146+).

In 1982, Ronald Hoeflin invented the "Mega Society", schemed as a intellectual grade above the Mensa Society, acceptance based on a score in Hoeflin's "Mega Test", designed, by him, to test people with IQs of 145 and above. Sometime thereafter is when the era of "IQ feigning" began.

In 1986, American Marilyn Savant famously sent in age-fudged IQ test records, test taken at age 10 (actual age 11-years 4-months), using the Lewis Terman's age ratio IQ formula, into the Guinness Book company so to thereby get her name listed in the “highest IQ” category with a Guinness Book IQ of 228.

In the 1990s, high IQ culture associates Christopher Langan (1952-) and Rick Rosner (1960-) were selling themselves as IQ 200 range geniuses, based on their scores of taking and retaking the so called Mega Test.

Faked IQs
In 2002, Elizabeth Chapman was fabricating the intelligence score of her son, Chris (or Justin) Chapman (1996-), to be IQ at 298 to the media; her child was removed after he attempted suicide a year latter.

In 2014, Irish-born American Walter O’Brien (1975-) was reporting to news media outlets, i.e. “using his IQ as a marketing element”, that at age 9 (Ѻ) or age 14, depending on source, he scored an IQ of 197 on some intelligence test, administered by one of his primary school teachers, but he did not keep the paperwork, thereby giving the tagline conclusion that he was the “forth smartest person in the world”. Investigations into these taglines led him to be labeled a “fake” brilliant inventor. [1]

Quotes
The following are related quotes:

“At age four, two psychologists and one sociologist gave Michael Kearney the Stanford-Binet IQ test (L-M version), a test designed for highly-gifted children age six and above. Michael scored 168, the ceiling of the test. Michael’s parents, Kevin and Cassidy, in their own words, “discovered in the library that the Stanford-Binet L-M version test gives a mental age which can be ratioed with chronological age for a true IQ … Kevin and I did the math and came up with Michael’s IQ at 325.”
— Cassidy Kearney (c.2009), on her son Michael Kearney

“No, my IQ is NOT really 156. It’s decent – around 130 according to my 1987 SAT score, 1993 GRE and a few other tests that correlate well with IQ’s – but nowhere near the above score. A score of 156 is almost two full standard deviations above my real score – or about the same spread that separates someone who qualifies for Mensa from a person with an IQ of 100. I figure online tests like these are designed to flatter the people who take them, encourage them to come back for more and view ads, pass on personal info, subscribe to email lists etc. It bugs me because it’s dishonest about something I do take pride in. I LIKE being smart, but I prefer being honestly bright to being dishonestly brilliant. I mean ego stroking is nice – I’ve yet to find an honest compliment that I didn’t appreciate – but when it is disingenuous, it is worse than a criticism. It is, in fact, an INSULT to the very intelligence that it purports to praise.”
— Anon (2010), “Pet Peeve: Inflated IQ Scores” (Ѻ), Mar 05

“Actually, Adrian Seng is Terence Tao (Ѻ). A book about gifted kids written by Miraca Gross (Ѻ) included biographies of real-life gifted children but she changed their names. Terence Tao's name was changed to Adrian Seng. I disagree with your inclusion [actually not included] of chess champions, Go champions, and idiots who supposedly did well on those fake ‘Ultra-High IQ Tests’ (e.g. Widsten [IQclaim: 175+] (Ѻ), Lygeros [IQclaim:189] (Ѻ), Gunnarsson [IQclaim: 235] (Ѻ), Schuessler [IQclaim: 185] (Ѻ), etc.). These idiots haven't achieved anything that matches their inflated IQs. One person I suggest you include is Michael Grost. He was a true genius who achieved honorable mention on the incredibly difficult Putnam exam (the same one that Reid Barton won 4 times) at the age of 13. Also, include Gabriel Carroll. This guy probably has a > 200 IQ. Lastly, I'm pleasantly surprised that you know Wei-Hwa Huang. We really should talk because I know a lot of the people on your list.”
