PSA: Chris Langan has never achieved a super high score on a real IQ test.
Since the 90's he is feuding with Rick Rosner, when they both edited the Mega Society’s journal Noesis, over the title of smartest guy. They both took an untimed Richard Hoeflin test (that maybe only a few hundred people have actually taken and therefore impossible to norm) with completely arbitrary scoring criteria and self-assigned “record setting” IQs.
Neither has any outstanding intellectual contributions to their name. They are weirdos who have made "being smart" their identity.
