Feynman's 125 IQ says a lot more about the value of IQ tests than it does 
about the intelligence of Feynman.  

You ought to read the autobiographical book Feyman wrote.  It's a fun read.  
He did not work like a demon so he could become a top physicist; he played 
around and did whatever seemed interesting and fun.  For him this happened 
to include becoming a top physicist.
