As there are no official records of his IQ all we can do is postulate a likely score based on what we know of his life and business. We all know to reach the top of a business and become a CEO or company boss/owner requires an above level of intelligence. Whilst Pablo’s business was illegal nevertheless he was still the CEO and company boss. His business success was dependent on many skills that correlate with an above average level of intelligence. He had to understand maket conditions, logistics, smuggling techniques, LE methadologies, banking law and psychology to name a few important aspects involving successfully lording it over a drug empire. Another important factor to consider is that his mother was a school teacher. The advantages of this for bringing a natural intelligence to fruition are obvious. Moreover, it can be said without a shadow of doubt that Pablo was a psychopath. The relevance of this is that research into the IQ scores of psychopaths consistently reveal they have an IQ that is generally above average. In fact they more often than not have exceptional IQs Given all of the above we could safely guess that his IQ was most probably in the range between 120 to 140. Going halfway between the two scores would give a likely mean IQ of 130 . This would place him in the top 15% percentile according to the distribution of the IQ bell curve.
