who christopher langan is
Christopher Michael Langan is an American horse rancher who claims to have an extremely high intelligence and a high score on the Mega Test, a self-administered, untimed, non-standardized IQ test that he took under the pseudonym Eric Hart. Under that name, Langan was formerly listed in the Guinness Book of Records high IQ section alongside Marilyn vos Savant and Keith Raniere, who had taken the same test. The record was discontinued in 1990, as high IQs are considered too unreliable to document as world records.
