"was wondering if the level of one's IQ makes it easier to get to the BETA brain wave"

In the standard EEG terminology I'm familiar with, the beta wave is normal waking consciousness, in the 13-30 cps range.

Alpha is ~8-13 cps
Theta is ~5-8 cps
Delta is ~3-5 cps

As far as I know, every person experiences all of them, though only alpha and beta are conscious states, normally. Theta is associated with dreams and REM, delta with deep, dreamless sleep.

Various binaural beat technologies (e.g. holosync) listened to through stereo headphones will entrain the brain to any of these frequencies while one is still awake, but it's not easy to remain conscious when ones brain waves are in theta or delta mode.
