11 yr-old Indian boy whose IQ is Higher than Stephen Hawking & Albert Einstein — report

Arnav Sharma beats Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking on IQ test
— Indian boy, all of 11, has a higher IQ score than Einstein, Stephen Hawking
— Arnav Sharma beats Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking on IQ test
— Indian origin boy Arnav Sharma aces Mensa test, scores 162 points, beats Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking in IQ


An 11-year-old Indian-origin boy here has scored 162 in the prestigious Mensa IQ test, two points higher than geniuses Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.
The Independent reported that Mensa IQ test was developed in Britain to form an elite society of intelligent people. Arnav Sharma, from Reading town in southern England, passed the infamously difficult test a few weeks back with zero preparation.

The “genius benchmark” is set at 140 and Sharma gained a score of 162 — the maximum possible result you can achieve on the paper.
His mark in the exam, which primarily measures verbal reasoning ability, puts him in the top one per cent of the nation in terms of IQ level.
“The Mensa test is quite hard and not many people pass it, so do not expect to pass,” Sharma told the daily.
Sharma said: “I had no preparation at all for the exam but I was not nervous. My family were surprised but they were also very happy when I told them about the result.”

The boy’s mother, Meesha Dhamija Sharma, said she kept her “fingers crossed” during his exam.
“I was thinking what is going to happen because you never know and he had never seen what a paper looks like,” she said.
Sharma said his hobbies are coding, badminton, piano, swimming and reading. He also has an unusually good geographical knowledge and can name all the capitals of the world.

A spokesperson for Mensa praised the 11-year-old boy, saying: “It is a high mark which only a small percentage of people in the country will achieve.”
Mensa was founded in 1946 in Oxford by Lancelot Lionel Ware, a scientist and lawyer, and Roland Berrill, an Australian barrister, but the organisation later spread around the world.

Its mission is to “identify and foster human intelligence for the benefit of humanity”. Source: indiatimes

Nice though Intelligence cannot be defined by exams'

Many highly intelligent people are poor thinkers. Many people of average intelligence are skilled thinkers. The power of a car is separate from the way the car is driven.” - Edward de Bono

IQ tests aren't an accurate measure of intelligence. There was this boy on Beyond Scared Straight that had a high IQ so he thought he was some kind of genius. He was a dumbass. IQ tests just measure your ability to recognise patterns and solve puzzles. If he can't apply it to solve any problems then its useless. Chuka, the Igbo boy that figures out how to out a generator together from scraps lying about is far more intelligent than any 'genius with a high IQ'.

LOL.

Einstein never even took an IQ test, and Hawking's results are unknown, but this is the internet, where any idiot can make a clickbait title.
