Assuming that the IQ test that Kim took was the kind that uses 16 points per standard deviation (some, IIRC, use 15), that puts him almost seven standard deviations above the mean. It seems to me that once you get above five standard deviations (i.e., the top 99.9999% of the population), tests of “general intelligence” aren’t really measuring anything more than the ability to max out whatever subtests that particular test author chose to include.
