This is something I have always wondered myself. How intelligent was Satoshi really. To me it's pretty clear that Satoshi was part of the Cypherpunks, obviously this is how Satoshi got the word out about Bitcoin by mailing the cypherpunk list ( which I find it interesting that not many of those on the cypherpunk list responded all that well to the original email). In my personal opinion I think that Nick Szabo is Satoshi. Nick is a lawyer, a computer scientist and an economist. Needless to say he's incredibly intelligent.

If you read the first codes, it is easy for you to distinguish that Satoshi was not a super-intelligent person or group of people as some claim, but he was a skilled cook who knew how to combine all these ingredients to make something that everyone loved. It's like a delicious recipe all the ingredients are known but the right mixing method gives the perfect taste.
Satoshi is someone who thinks outside the box and we should respect that.

I think they are both the same thing. It requires a skillful chef as you say to combine the different ingredients and it is not any different for combing different things of cryptography. Satoshi had to have the knowledge of it and understand it and he had to have a wide skill set. He may have not been the master of all of it but he was a jack of all trades. He took from multiple different sources, combined them and the first version of Bitcoin was pretty good. There was only one ever truly bad bug that meant you could generate unlimited amounts of Bitcoin but that was quickly fixed but my point is this was a large project and yet there was not too many issues with the first versions of it. That is something impressive alone and while there may have been small bugs there was not much that was truly bad.

So called iq could be obtained by loving alot and using your talents selflessly.
Someone with greatest so called iq would remain and successful defend his comrade/followers from invading or opposing forces. Maybe he just doesn't want problems.
I haven't seen anyone as highly iq as a President I followed last year and followed by an admin here

He drew inspirations from our sources, you can clearly see it from the references in the whitepaper. So it's not revolutionary at all, it's just he pieces it all together, the mistakes from the past and then weave it all together and created BTC.
Again, we don't need to exaggerate and have this kind of superlatives when defining bitcoin. It contains flaws as well, and it is not perfect but any means. You can read it here: Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures.

Satoshi Nakamoto is a high IQ geek from the encryption and decryption club.
What kind of knowledge system does he have that can create Bitcoin?

Few years ago theymos made a post about Satoshi which he mentioned that. Satoshi wasn't a super genius. His great leap was to put different pieces together, creating something really new. But those pieces were well known when bitcoin was created.
The foundations of Bitcoin were set in stone 10 years ago today with the creation of the genesis block, and Bitcoin version 0.1 was officially released a week later. Version 0.1 was amazingly complete, and even more impressively, it had very few bugs. It also had great forward-compatibility, with explicit support for future softforks in the form of the OP_NOPn opcodes. Before anyone knew how a decentralized cryptocurrency would even work, Satoshi was figuring out how to add to Bitcoin things like smart contracts and payment channels. This is incredible, and a lot of people look at Satoshi's amazing accomplishments with Bitcoin and say stuff like, "Satoshi must be a crypto super-genius, the next Einstein." This, I think, is very much missing the point.
When Satoshi was working on Bitcoin in 2007-2009, almost all of the core ideas of Bitcoin were well-known in the cryptography community. In 1996, a summary of previous academic work on electronic cash was published, talking at length about most of the low-level cryptographic primitives used in Bitcoin and using familiar terms like "double spending". Hashcash proof-of-work was well-known, and I remember reading about it prior to Bitcoin as an idea to prevent email spam. git uses the same unbreakable chain of hashes as Bitcoin's block chain, and was first released in 2005. Satoshi made one major leap: combining all these pieces to prevent double spending through a PoW block chain. This was impressive, but the same flash of brilliance could've happened to anyone who was following this stuff.

At present, it looks more like a great and revolutionary experiment. Bitcoin operates completely independently. From the beginning to the present, there are very few modifications that can be made to him. Since ancient times, only the sky, the earth, the sun and the moon can operate naturally.
This is the first time that humans want to break away from the state of managing people and enter a more advanced smart contract management mode.
Trust between people is no longer a problem, and there are many nodes in the world, and the cost of doing evil is much higher than the benefit.
Sometimes I also think about a problem, Satoshi Nakamoto changes the world, not to become a celebrity or to obtain violence. He disappeared without a trace, so I would ask, what does his knowledge reserve look like? What is his purpose?

Your views are some old, or Bitcoin is the crystallization of collective wisdom, and the hash function and asymmetric encryption are all Very mature technology, but depending on what you mean, it seems that Satoshi Nakamoto is simply a god.
What you said is a bit exaggerated,but I am not denying that Bitcoin is a perfect invention.
