Christopher Langan claims to have an IQ of around 195. Apparently
that's backed up by some of Hoeflin's tests. He founded the Mega
Foundation, which has a cut off of the 99.9999th percentile in
intelligence (IQ of 174+ or thereabouts). More info here:

He runs a website expounding his "cognitive-theoretic model of the
universe" (http://www.ctmu.org), which adds up to a bunch of
pseudoscientific nonsense.
He also criticizes Darwinism
(http://megafoundation.org/CTMU/Articles/CTM.htm), writing "the field
of evolutionary biology is currently dominated by neo-Darwinism, a
troubled marriage of convenience between post-Mendelian genetics and
natural selection." Utterly laughable.
They say smart people can be dumb. Apparently superintelligent people
can be retarded.
Cheers,
Martin
