How does scientists find out IQ of a person that never took any IQ test? For example Albert Einstein, he never took IQ test because at his time there wasn’t any, yet his IQ is approximated 160. Why not 130 or 190? Ans what about fictional characters, like Sherlock Holmes with IQ around 190. It’s not about achievements because it doesn’t make sense, maybe because of their conclusions?

well, fictional characters are just that…. fictional. so Holmes IQ is fictional.
for Einstein, that IQ is estimated. there is no accurate IQ score for him, since he never took the test.
>“People who obtain PhDs in areas such as physics tend to have extremely high IQs…a combination of mathematical, verbal and spatial reasoning ability,”
