Is the age of supermen dawning? Or are the psychologists just spoofing the public with their high-falutin’ intelligence quotient tests?

Tot K burst upon an unsuspecting world on Sunday when the Jewish Daily Bulletin disclosed that the educational clinic of the College of the City of New York rates him as the most remarkable subject of the IQ test it has had in its entire history.
