The person in question isn't just brilliant in one field, but a polymath--though even better in the math/physics aspect, so will have some mathematics talent.
I know that there have been several threads concerning this, but can't find them--if a link to the thread would be better than a detailed answer, that's fine.
Thanks!

Converted versions of Who's Who 1 and
Who's Who 2 are on the GURPS wiki. Attributes were retained in the conversion.
Sir Isaac Newton was given an 18, Aristotle 17, Archimedes, St. Augustine of Hippo, and John von Neumann got a 16. It is noted that "attributes are rated relative to the character's own era."
This was all before the large amount of talents and so the IQ scores could likely come down a bit for those five.
