Answer 3

Mark Twain had a I.Q. of 135-145. High on the human scale and a very inquisitive mind. Asking questions and following intellectual paths of thought where a common past time of his. Although masochistic in personality, this was not very uncommon for the men of his time and environment. Answer: Since intelligence testing has only been around since 1904 when psychologist Alfred Binet was commissioned to develop a standardized method of rating the intelligence of children, it is unlikely Markk Twain's creator Samuel Clemens would have ever had such a test as he died in 1910.

Any estimate of his intelligence would have to be drawn from inferences from his writings and letters. If you consider him to be a "genius" then he would have an IQ greater than 140. Given his wide ranging interests in science, social equality and the control of the English language this ranking is not unexpected.
