The
Myth of Genius - In
1926, psychologist Dr. Catherine Morris Cox and a group of Stanford
psychologists including the founder of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence
Scale Dr. Lewis Terman, published a study of the "most eminent men
and women to live between 1450-1850." The study estimated IQs based
mainly on the degree of intelligence exemplified before the age of 17.
It is one of the most referenced studies when discussing possible IQ's
of past geniuses. Here are some more of her findings. http://iml.jou.ufl.edu/projects/Spring04/Artigas/facts.htm

Mensa
International - Mensa
"provides a forum for intellectual exchange among members. Its
activities include the exchange of ideas by lectures, discussions,
journals, special-interest groups, and local, regional, national, and
international gatherings; the investigations of members' opinions and
attitudes; and assistance to researchers, inside and outside Mensa, in
projects dealing with intelligence or Mensa." http://www.mensa.org/
Abstract
Although there are numerous studies of gifted students, there have been
no studies following up the very high IQ students into adulthood. Using
the Terman files, 26 subjects with scores above 180 IQ were compared
with 26 randomly selected subjects from Terman's sample. Findings were
generally that the extra IQ points made little difference and that
extremely high IQ does not seem to indicate "genius" in the
commonly understood sense of the word. http://www.geniusdenied.com/articles/Record.aspx?NavID=13_0&rid=11445
