IQ is a cumulative score across multiple areas, it only counts as a true genius if most of those points are in a specific area because those are the people who end up discovering entirely new concepts in a field of study.

Example; some people have IQ in the 160 range but as it is distributed across multile areas of intelligence aren't functionally much smarter than people of average intelligence because they aren't advanced enough in a single area to do much beyond what someone average is capable of.
