At the age of 19, he was studying electrical engineering at Polytechnic Institute at Gray in Austria. Tesla's general IQ was in a range from 160 to 200. Average Nikola Tesla IQ was 180. He made dozens of breakthrough in the production, transmission and application of electric power. He invented the first alternating current (AC) motor and developed AC generation and transmission technology.
