Is Kim Kardashian's IQ really 190? No—it's a baseless rumor from unreliable sites. No verified score exists; estimates range 95–119 based on her education & career, but her actual IQ remains unknown.

Kim Kardashian's IQ is unknown. She has never publicly released an IQ score, and there is no credible evidence that she has taken a professional IQ test. There are unsubstantiated rumors about her performance on the SAT, but no credible source has reported these.
The best evidence regarding Ms. Kardashian’s IQ is her performance on tests that measure competency in her law education. In 2018, she began an apprenticeship at a law firm, which is an alternative method that some people use to receive training as a lawyer without attending law school. There are two tests that Ms. Kardashian has reportedly taken to evaluate her success in these studies: the “baby bar,” which measures competency after the equivalent of one year of law school and the full bar exam.
On her fourth attempt, Ms. Kardashian passed the “baby bar” in 2021, though she did not share her exact score. In 2025, she took the full California Bar Exam and did not pass. Again, she did not share her exact score. Unless she chooses to release this information, privacy laws will keep this information confidential. Her legal test performance provides some insight, but not enough to estimate Ms. Kardashian’s IQ. Unlike the SAT or ACT, there is no reliable mathematical method for converting bar exam test scores to IQ scores. Additionally, the bay bar and the bar exam rely more heavily on the learned knowledge that people gain from education in the law. While reasoning ability does exert an important influence on someone’s performance on tests of competency with the law, it is still necessary to know a lot of legal terminology and the principles of the law to pass the baby bar and the full Bar Exam. As a result, these tests are poor proxies for IQ. Beyond her test performance, it is hard to gauge Ms. Kardashian’s intellectual prowess. She has no formal education after attending high school, and so traditional educational credentials cannot be used to estimate her IQ. Though her success in entertainment and business are undeniable, there is no evidence of individual intellectual accomplishment. By passing the baby bar exam, she has demonstrated that she is probably smarter than average. However, a more exact estimate is not possible at this time.
