What do you think GM Hikaru IQ is?
Sort:
Probably slightly higher than average
Oh, here’s something I found online about it.
Hikaru takes Mensa IQ Test
In 2020, Hikaru undertook the Mensa online IQ tests, in which he scored 102. Considering that average IQ is 100, Nakamura seems to have only slightly passed the average person's IQ. Nakamura is a very good chess player, but he practices chess more than an average person.Apr 15, 2021
Ofc, this is just an online one and won’t be the most accurate, but it’s interesting still

Something near 100 (a safe bet since most people are 
)
Also, to be honest, he's never said anything that seemed intelligent... for example someone like Grischuk I'd guess higher, because I've heard him say interesting things... not things I necessarily agree or disagree with, but things that show he's thinking.
I don't think Hikaru is dumb, he just seems normal.
I cant care less

Don't forget to multiply by 69420 and spam "poggers" in chat when calculating the IQ.

#5 is correct. It is 102. Levy also scored 102 on his IQ test. IQ is only a small factor in being a good chess player. Much more important are things like determination and perseverance, and of course a love of chess.
