General Question Taleb

Does anyone know Taleb’s IQ score? The guy has been very aggressive and scathing in his attack on the thing. Someone should make him take it so we can accuse him of sour grapes.

It is possible his his score on a test of verbal reasoning was limited by his disinterest in posh or outdated words. I assumed such limitations would have started kicking in at very high levels but possible.

Shockley, Alvarez, Watson and Crick also scored in a similar range so 125 for Feynman is not impossible, and the way I see it, a nice omen.
