      The absence of IQ tests during Newton's time renders this argument particularly contradictory. If an individual's IQ exceeds Newton's, a genius who shaped an era, why haven't they created anything that substantiates this claim?

Being smart (or even just above average) doesn't automatically mean you will achieve great things. It just means you learn and understand things faster than the average.
      Also, a lot of people who show signs of high IQ tend to be on the autism spectrum. And they often show signs of high IQ in some areas, but are way below average in others.
