A person's IQ is not a measure of their intelligence, it is a measure of a brains processing power/speed. A man with an IQ of 100 could be smarter than a man with an IQ of 150.
To put things in laymans terms: A man with an IQ of 100 could spend all his days studying and go on to graduate at the top of his classes, this would be like straining your old computer to play the latest games that came out, whereas the mind of a man with an IQ of 147 (*raises hand*) could be the mental equivelent of using a supercomputer to browse porn.
With all that said, a person's IQ is still a fairly reliable method of guaging intelligence, but that is NOT what an IQ test is about.
I also feel it necessary to add that an IQ of 250 would be considered so high as to have fallen into a margin of error. Almost every single IQ registered that has even passed 200 is considered highly dubious with few exceptions. IQ's above 145 are limited to only 2% of the entire worlds population and an IQ of 150/160 is considered GENIUS level, 140-150 is considered NEAR GENIUS (Ultimate Peter Parker's IQ is 145).
Rant over, point being: Writer didn't know what he was on about.
