Historical IQ estimates are approximations based on documented achievements, contemporary accounts, and cognitive analysis. They should be viewed as educated estimates rather than definitive measurements. Both William Shakespeare and Charles Dickens achieved remarkable things in their respective domains, and raw IQ alone doesn't capture the full picture of their intelligence and impact.
