300, too low. Again, this is part of the reason I said a different scale would be needed to accurately predict the IQ of the Emperor, if you take the current inteligence quotent scale, it fails because the Emperor's IQ level obviously breaks the scale, perhaps a somewhat illogical comparison using the scale, although going above the maximum number (atleast that humans can obtain) on the IQ scale would explain it better, in reality, the Emperor's psychic perception played a huge part in the bolstering of his intelligence.

Average to highest Human IQ=100-160

Average to very high Craftworld/Exodite Eldar IQ=160-200

Average to very high Dark Eldar IQ=165-205

Average to very high Priamrch IQ=250-300

Average IQ of a Daemon Prince=270

IQ of the Emperor while alive and in the material universe=300-350

Average to very High IQ of the Chaos Gods=500-900 (Khorne perhaps being the lowest, with Tzeentch being the highest

IQ of the Emperor within the warp as a "God-Emperor" =950 (Let's assume he's more intelligent than the Chaos Gods, if he truly is battling them within the warp.)

IQ of the most intelligent of the Old Ones=1000

IQ of the C'tan=Unmeasurable

So going by that scale, the Emperor was pretty far up there, but that's if we're going by who managed to outsmart and out think the other comparisons, as you can see though, the scale is sort of a joke in this case, since we're trying to compare the intelligence of what would essentially be Gods on the same scale the average mortal is on.
