140 IQ here, and my wife was one point higher.

My significant qualifiers could include:

Mutable Gemini Ascendant (Mercury chart ruler)
Capricorn Sun, Virgo Moon (like Stephen Hawking)
Mercury in Sag (7th)
Mercury conjunct Venus
Mercury quintile Pluto
Mercury sextile Uranus
Mercury opposite Saturn
Saturn trine Uranus

My wife's would include:
Mutable Sagittarian Sun (Leo ascendant, so Sun is chart ruler)
Sun opposite Saturn
Mercury conjunct Neptune
Uranus trine Saturn
Moon conjunct Mars and Venus (though I wouldn't really think this is an indicator)
I guess we could say there's an Air grand trine between Uranus, Saturn, and DC.

We were born only 24 days apart. The only aspect shared is the trine between Saturn and Uranus. What's interesting is that if you met us, you'd probably find both of us to be smart, but in different ways.

My husband has an IQ of 160 (not as high as some, I realize...but it's up there).

He has Mercury in Virgo in 9th, square Saturn in Gemini and trine Capricorn Moon. Nothing in 3rd.
Jupiter in Scorpio in 11th conjunct Neptune Sag at 0 degrees in 12th house. Neptune trine Venus and Vertex in 8th, square Saturn in 6th.

Unaspected Aqua Mars in 2nd.

It seems like many high intelligent people have mercury highly aspected in general, and often with both a personal planet and outer planet (most often neptune or uranus) and often the sign virgo is involved

But I don't think intelligence is only about a high IQ…

I completely agree with you on that one. While my husband is far better at intricate problem solving than I am (or building things, etc) I can see things and solve problems that he can't. I have no idea what my IQ is, but I know it's not as high as his is.
But I think there are different types of intelligence.

Being social intelligent is often more beneficial in this world maybe? What use is it to be able to think all these genius things, if no one want's to listen to you:P

I formally tested at 116 in college (and quite a bit higher in grade 2). While certainly not genius, it IS still a standard deviation above the mean.

The test was one of those spatial ones that had no grammar/cultural bias and it was actually really hard (to me, I'm mathematically retarded and my spatial abilities are basically nonexistent). I would almost certainly test higher if it adjusted for linguistic ability.

I'm Aqua-dominant so overthinking things is my birthright.

Wife and I also have Saturn in Gemini. The interpretation for this placement is fairly positive for mental indicators.

    With Saturn in Gemini (or Third House,) you have a strong intellect and ability to translate ideas. Saturn pressures you to go beyond fears of communication, and claim your talents in language. You can become an expert juggler of the bits and pieces of life’s puzzle, always rearranging them into new forms. You excel as a teacher, artist, researcher and curiosity seeker.

    In the birth chart, this Saturn may cause early speech inhibitions. It could means a stutter or times of being paralyzed, tongue-tied.

    This hesitation later becomes a built-in shaper of thoughts to useful ends. You can take in lots of information, and channel it into conversation or meaningful projects. You have the gift of the gab, but often shrewdly use it to your advantage.

    You are a magician experimenting with the art of changing consciousness at will. You tend to convey your ideas with humor and awareness of the absurdity in life.

    You might be steered toward a calling in journalism, storytelling or education. http://astrology.about.com/od/thebirthchart/qt/SaturnGemini.htm

How do you define IQ? How is that meaningful?

178 IQ here (last tested during graduate school). Three masters degrees. Fulbright Scholar. Phi Beta Kappa. Does that even mean anything at all? My IQ test was done by a professional psychologist and a psychiatrist. I find that of dubious value.

Mercury 11th House Capricorn
Merccury Conjunct Sun (10th Capricorn)
Mercury Conjunct Mars (11th Capricorn)
Mercury Sextile Neptune (9th Scorpio)
Mercury Trine Pluto (7th Virgo)
Mercury Trine Uranus (7th Virgo)

Responds to thread by announcing high IQ and a list of scholastic achievements.
Asks condescending questions about validity of topic.

Ok then. I'll put it in practical terms that everyone understands.

IQ isn't a valid measure of real life intelligence where practical judgment is far more important than theoretical knowledge. Degrees are not good indicators of professional success. Knowledge isn't a good predictor of career success. School is inconsequential in how much one succeeds.

It's what you do with your life and what you stand for that matters.

I'm sure that's great for the ego YTA, but unlikely as a score of a modern IQ test.

I place zero credence in it. If I were that smart, I would have cornered some market and became a billionaire, not some chump posting on an Internet forujm. The degrees are mine though. I busted my azz for them, and it has nothing to do with being "smart." The honors are like my Purple Hearts. After the crap I went through, I wear the honors with stubborn pride.

Sam Walton didn't need college. All he needed was his charisma, diligence and his pickup truck. Look at what he built.

I agree with yta, IQ tests are basically meaningless. I took an IQ test and scored a 98 but I'm much smarter than the average person. I know dummies who have scored high on IQ tests. I took it not too long ago and was severely disappointed in it. I thought I was going to take a test that accurately gauged intelligence but what I got was over an hour of bs questions that had no bearing in real life situations. Over half the test was matching ambigous symbols to words and forming sentences with them. Pardon my french but when in the f*ck am I actually going to use that in school or the workplace? Never.. so why is that junk even in the tests?

Online IQ tests are a load of crap. First of all, you can take your time and god knows plenty of people probably cheat a little bit so they can inflate their egos and brag.
Second, once youve taken an IQ test once, you kind of know what the types of questions that appear on there are, and if you take it again can get a much better score.
Third, some of it is incredibly biased such as questions that have to do with prior knowledge (language based questions). Its like you either know some latin prefix of a word or you don't. That's not something you're going to be able to elucidate on your own without prior knowledge.

I would like to reference one of Einstein's famous quotes on this matter “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

There are also many highly intelligent people who have no motivation to prove themselves to others and thus, are not seen as "intelligent" people, versus those with drive and determination or the desire to be known for their intellect, who are going to seek rewards and recognition.

Call it a crazy hunch, but I'm guessing that the online IQ tests might not be very accurate.

I wonder if the OP was thinking more along the lines of very noteworthy people whose time of birth is available? I'm wondering about Stephen Hawking's placements!
