Estimating the IQ of Jess Oppenheimer
Oppenheimer is the head writer of I Love Lucy, and was identified in the Terman study of gifted children (page 56) with an IQ of 141. He also attended and graduated from Stanford, had 18 patents, and was a very successful movie producer. It’s very obvious that he is highly intelligent, though it’s difficult to quantify how intelligent he is.
SE of 9, generated from the population average reliability of a correlation of .8, which is unsophisticated but better than nothing.
