Former Child Prodigy Claims Significantly Higher Iq

Benjamin Netanyahu's IQ Estimated at 144

Former Child Prodigy Claims Significantly Higher IQ

Ten years after Business Insider published a story claiming that Benjamin Netanyahu had an IQ of 180, a former child prodigy has come forward with a different estimate. Ainan Celeste Cawley, now 24, grew up in public after being born to a Singaporean mother and an Irish father. Cawley claims to have an IQ of 180 and has challenged Netanyahu to a public IQ test.

Netanyahu's IQ Ranking

In 2010, The New Statesman listed Netanyahu as number 11 on its list of The World's 50 Most Influential Figures. Netanyahu has held the position of Prime Minister of Israel since 2009.

Cawley's Calculations

Cawley's calculations estimate Netanyahu's IQ at approximately 144, with a 95% confidence interval of 138 to 150. This supports the view that Netanyahu is among the most intelligent world leaders.

The debate over Netanyahu's IQ is likely to continue. However, Cawley's claim has cast doubt on the earlier estimate of 180. It remains to be seen whether Netanyahu will accept Cawley's challenge to a public IQ test.

Regardless of the outcome of the debate, Netanyahu's intelligence is undeniable. He has been a successful politician for decades and has led Israel through some of its most challenging times. No matter what his IQ may be, Netanyahu is a formidable opponent and a respected leader.
