What competitive category was retired by Guinness?

  • Highest IQ

  • Fastest runner

  • Strongest person

  • Longest hair

Answer

Highest IQ was retired as a competitive category by Guinness due to ethical concerns. Measuring intelligence is a complex and subjective process, and there is no universally accepted standard for determining IQ. Additionally, IQ tests can be biased towards certain demographic groups, making it difficult to compare scores fairly. As a result, Guinness decided to discontinue recognizing the Highest IQ category to avoid perpetuating these issues.
