Usually you guess or infer someone’s IQ by observing their analytical skills, their sharpness of mind, their ability to see how ideas relate to each other and to synthesize new ideas from those connections, and frankly, from how much stuff they _know_ about a wide variety of subjects… history, literature, science-- you know: how SMART they are.
