Early intelligence testing was designed for a specific administrative purpose: identifying schoolchildren in Paris who needed remedial instruction.

He had mastered differential and integral calculus by roughly age 15. When shown the "Einstein failed math" claim in 1935, he replied that he had never failed in mathematics and that before he was fifteen he had mastered differential and integral calculus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Part of the confusion comes from a genuine quirk of the records. The Aargau school switched its grading scale partway through Einstein's time there, reversing the meaning of the numbers so that a 6 changed from worst to best. Anyone reading the transcripts without knowing this sees a student who apparently collapsed from top marks to failing grades in a single year. Combined with the fact that Einstein genuinely disliked the rote, authoritarian style of German schooling and clashed with teachers over it, the raw material for a comforting myth was already in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The myth survives because it is useful. "Even Einstein failed math" is a reassuring thing to tell a struggling student, and it flatters the idea that conventional academic performance says nothing about potential.

This is a hallmark of very high performance on the perceptual-reasoning components of modern IQ batteries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a well-known response to the mathematician Jacques Hadamard, who was surveying how scientists think, Einstein wrote that words and language did not seem to play any role in his productive thinking, and that the elements of his thought were images and signs that could be voluntarily reproduced and combined. Only afterwards, he said, did the results have to be laboriously translated into conventional language.

Persistence of this kind is a personality trait, not an IQ component — and it is arguably more responsible for his output than raw processing speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those ten years were not a smooth ascent. Einstein published field equations in 1913 that were wrong, spent two years defending them, then abandoned the approach and rebuilt it. He also, briefly, convinced himself that generally covariant equations were impossible, an error he later called one of the worst mistakes of his career. A person who scored brilliantly on a timed reasoning test but could not tolerate two years of being publicly wrong would never have reached the 1915 result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3 id=\"delayed-early-language\">Delayed early language\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Einstein spoke late as a child, a fact his family remarked on.

Einstein was openly critical of attempts to reduce human beings to measurements, and he was writing at a time when intelligence testing was being used in the United States to justify immigration restrictions and forced sterilization.
