'Record IQ is just another talent'

Hwang Jurie:

What will people think of 16-month-old wonder child Jonathon Rader, able to play various musical instruments, if he decides not to pursue a career as a musician?

The answer seems to be "a failure," when hearing the story from Kim Ung-yong, a 48-year-old record holder for the world's highest intelligence quotient, in an interview with The Korea Herald.

"I was famous for having a 210 IQ and being able to solve intricate math equations at the age of four," Kim said, adding, "Apparently, the media belittled the fact that I chose to work in a business planning department at Chungbuk Development Corporation."
