	IQ = success to me.

Richard Feynman had a purported I.Q of about 125...won the Nobel Prize in Physics (1965).

I am agreement with Stephen Hawking: "Those who brag about their I.Qs are losers"

If you can successfully build a business from ground up without any type of formal education, then I believe the IQ scoring does not really matter. There is a lot more to the brain than a few questions to be answered. I doubt every successful person in the world have a very high IQ, but I would agree that there are probably a few who do. ;p

Success determines the persons ability to analyze rationaly and bank on an idea. IQ scoring may only be relative in portions of such process.

	What do you consider a genius IQ?

You're making the assumption that genius can be defined by a certain IQ. IQ is just a number, and regardless of what it is, those who associate genius to an IQ number will do so based on the IQ score(s) of who they consider geniuses, based on those peoples achievements. Or, if it's above their own and they don't consider themselves a genius, as is seen to be the case in this thread. What comes to mind is Marx' argument that a commodity only has value in relation to another commodity, and I think the same applies here.

I think you see the tree but you miss the forest (the type of personality has something to do)

a person with a high IQ can not be regarded as a genius while another person with an IQ below can be regarded as a genius

it depends of how we approach things. I think with an INTJ type for exampe with an IQ not necessarily very high you get a genius.

I give you an example:

Imagine two computers:
the 1st is equipped with a powerful processor but has a bad software, for example an image processing software.
the 2nd is equipped with a processor, medium or even slow but with a sophisticated software

imagine the result, maybe the first PC ends the first , but the 2nd one will give a résulat much higher.

processor speed, is the IQ
the type of software is the personality

This is why genius throughout history are either INTJ or INTP (Einstein, Newton, Leonardo da Vinci, Nikola Tesla ...)

IMO, anyone who is immedialy obviously a lot smarter than I am (as opposed to just more knowledgable) qualifies.

I'm not sure. I thought it was someone who was intellectually more capable than most but also far more naturally gifted (and also possibly hard working) in a particular area. IQ alone would seem insufficient in that regard.
