Richard G. "Rick" Rosner (born May 2, 1960) is an American television writer and reality television personality known for his high intelligence test scores and his unusual career. There are reports that he has achieved some of the highest scores ever recorded on IQ tests designed to measure exceptional intelligence.〔Morris, Errol, “(One in a Million Trillion ),” First Person (2000)〕〔Prager, Joshua Harris 'Let's See Now, Complain Is to Club As Order Takeout Is to Restaurant,' ''The Wall Street Journal'', Wednesday, May 14, 1997〕 He has become known for taking part in activities not usually associated with geniuses. Rosner claims that he has worked as a stripper, roller-skating waiter, bouncer, and nude model.〔: "Tied with Sununu were… Solomon Golomb… and Rick Rosner, a University of Colorado physics student who made his living as a roller skating waiter and a stripper. Rosner's method of undressing was to set his clothes on fire."〕〔 Includes photos of Rosner stripping with paper suit on fire.〕〔Rosner, Rick.

Retrieved on 2007-12-23.〕〔Rivera, Geraldo. “People with an X-Rated Past”, ''Geraldo'', December 1989.〕 He has appeared in numerous documentaries and profiles about his activities and views. He has also appeared in both a Domino's Pizza commercial as well as one for Burger King and sued the quiz show ''Who Wants to be a Millionaire'' over an allegedly flawed question he missed as a contestant in 2000.〔Jennings, Ken. ''Brainiac: Adventures in the Curious, Competitive, Compulsive World of Trivia Buffs'', New York: Villard, pp. 110–111. ISBN 1-4000-6445-7〕 He wrote and produced for quiz shows and several programs produced by Jimmy Kimmel, including ''The Man Show'', ''Crank Yankers'', and ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!''〔Gay, Jason (December 15, 2002). (Kimmel Hires Jilted Contestant. ) ''New York Observer''〕 ==Early life, education, intelligence tests== Rosner grew up in Boulder, Colorado. He reportedly spent 10 years in high school, leaving in 1987.〔http://boingboing.net/2014/08/08/gweek158.html〕 When he was 26 years old and still a high school student, his wife was his legal guardian.〔http://boingboing.net/2014/08/08/gweek158.html〕 After he graduated from high school and attended University of Colorado, Boulder on and off, where he was a member of the Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity, Rosner appeared as a body builder in early choreography by Nancy Daw Kane.〔Gibson, Daryl. "'Genius' launches trial flight of scientific theory," ''Boulder Daily Camera'', April 5, 1986.〕〔Smith, L.L. "Letter to the Editor," ''Colorado Daily'', April 10, 1986.〕〔Jones, Tao. "Worse than you suspected: Boy wonder takes to skies with theory of the Bland Universe", ''Colorado Daily'', April 4, 1986.〕 As an aspiring media figure, he placed a number of ads with titles about physics in the entertainment trade journal ''Variety'' while attending college.〔Rosner, Rick. Advertisements, ''Daily Variety'': "Gravitation is relativistically attenuated", January 22, 1986, p. 10; "Mach's Principle applies to gravitation", January 26, 1986, p. 30; "In a universe containing only two objects, the objects wouldn't be gravitationally attracted to each other", February 2, 2007.〕〔Zaslow, Jeffrey (May 29, 1990). (Aspiring actors place hopes in classified ads. ) ''Chicago Sun-Times''〕 Rosner moved to New York and wrote for MTV. When his wife accepted a job offer in California, they moved west.〔 In 1985, it was reported that he scored 44 of 48 on Ron Hoeflin’s Mega Test, a test described in a history of IQ testing as "a nonstandardized test put out by an obscure group." A score of 44 of 48 represents an IQ of about 180. In 1991 he retook the test and achieved 47 of 48 (IQ 190). From 1991 to 1997, Rosner was editor of ''Noesis'', the journal of the Mega Society. Rick completed Hoeflin's Titan Test and is the only individual to have answered all 48 questions correctly. He achieved an IQ score of 192 in the high-range IQ test (Mathema ) by answering 13 of 16 questions correctly, as well as 190 on the (CIT - Form 3E ) by answering 76 of 78 questions correctly. No professionally designed and validated IQ test claims to distinguish test-takers at a one-in-a-million level of rarity of score. The standard score range of most currently normed IQ tests is from IQ 40 to IQ 160. A score of 160 corresponds to a rarity of about 1 person in 30,000 (leaving aside the issue of error of measurement common to all IQ tests), which falls short of the Mega Society's 1 in a million requirement. IQ scores above this level are dubious as there are insufficient normative cases upon which to base a statistically justified rank-ordering. High IQ scores are less reliable than IQ scores nearer to the population median. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richard G. Rosner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
