I am sure you are accurately relaying a statement you have found in some book of good reputation. Nevertheless those figures are wrong. Going into detail about how they are wrong would take us far off-topic, but I’ll note for the record that NO currently normed, properly validated IQ test even yields scores above 160, and one of the former, now obsolete, tests that did showed a higher frequency of those scores.
