Intelligence cannot be measured. But an intelligence quotient (IQ) test, administered only by specialized psychologists, makes it possible to assess a person’s logical intelligence by subjecting them to tests of comprehension, expression, reasoning and memory – about fifteen exercises in all , which are mostly timed. The standard IQ is between 85 and 115 points. But it goes even higher…
Much higher! Above 130 points we often speak of high intellectual potential (HPI, yes, like in the series). This would only represent 2.2% of the people who take the IQ test. Among them are some stars.

Rowan Atkinson surpasses Albert Einstein
The most impressive score is that of actor Rowan Atkinson. With a score of 173, the interpreter of Mr. Bean would thus beat Albert Einstein and his 160 points. But he is not the only one with high intellectual potential. Ashton Kutcher is said to have 160 IQ points, as are Quentin Tarantino and Matt Damon. Cindy Crawford, Lisa Kudrow or Sharon Stone would be at 154 points, while Emma Watson, Natalie Portman, Shakira or Arnold Schwarzenegger would top 130 points.
