Concerning Marlyn Vos Savant's IQ - the score was obtained as a child on the Stanford-Binet and is an extrapolation. I believe she took the test at age ten, the official recorded score was 168+ IQ, and she had completed the items up to age 23 (the maximum age obtainalble on the Stanford-Binet version she took). The ratio IQ score she obtained, as a child, would then have been 228 IQ.

Concerning the use of PhotoReading for absorption of information - I used it exclusively in graduate school while studying physics and I found that it dramatically cut down the time and effort that I needed to expend in learning the subject matter while still maintaining my GPA.
