But no matter, this thread is about maximum attribute scores for real people, not about Einstein.

In my humble opinion, 15 remains realistic though at the limit. 16 or more becomes cinematic. That was my point.
The conversion of Leonardo da Vinci and a partial one of Nicolas Tesla are both available on GURPSwiki. IMHO they likely went a little overboard on da Vinci's IQ
