4-year-old genius has same IQ as Einstein
NY Daily News ^ | December 13, 2013 | Amanda Stringfellow

Sherwyn Sarabi scored an IQ of 160, just like Albert Einstein, Bill Gates, and Stephen Hawking. The British boy is already studying at the level of a 9-year-old and has read over 190 books.

A four-year-old boy has stunned psychologists—after intelligence tests revealed him to have the same IQ as Einstein.

Sherwyn Sarabi has tested off the scale for intelligence—scoring an IQ of 160—the highest mark on the test.

It's the same score that experts believe scientist Einstein had, as well as being identical to that of Bill Gates and Stephen Hawking.

Sherwyn from Barnsley, Yorks, started school two years early and became a member of Mensa at the age of three.

High IQ’s don’t mean jack sh!t if you don’t have any common sense.

Funny thing is that Einstein married his cousin.

I am too, at 164. Doesn’t mean I made wise decisions in life though. The most recent studies of Albert’s brain, indicate an abnormal amount of connections between the right and left sides. My experience has been that those connections can cause more problems,,,,,

I can’t even spell eye que but I’ll be glad to compete with anyone on solving a real life problem. I am a great problem solver which is good because I create most of those problems.

You know Einstein was killed by the Mafia.

They said he, “knew too much”.

If he’s smart enough ... it can ...

I would tend to agree with you if he was a typical four-year old, but it’s clear he’s not.

Yes, the article did suggest his current mental/social skill level was that of a 9 year old. At the same time, one of the images of that cute child depicts him at a dry erase board writing E = mc2.

What nine year old understands and can perform the formula? Posed?

“wait until he’s a teenager to see if he’s really smart...”

No teenagers are really smart.

My 148+ hasn’t really helped me, except for getting into military intelligence and testing out of many courses in college. I could join MENSA, but what does that do for me?

He probably understands the formula as well as a normally-read adult understands it — just enough to be able to write it on a board ... :-) ...

The British IQ scale ends at 160....what a 160 score really means is “We can’t determine what the real IQ may be”

Our scale ends at 200 and a 200 means the same...we just don’t know.

Who could design a test for such people?

A friend of mine had a 200. He’s passed on now, was a bit of a crackpot, but undeniably a genius.

IQ posts are like gun posts...it’s best not to let anyone know what you’ve got.

I once heard that Einstein had an estimated IQ of about 190. Now I don’t know what to think.

Einstein never took an IQ test so this article makes no sense.

The problem with IQ tests...it doesn't measure creativity or diligence or goodness or etc etc...

Plenty of criminals with high IQ's.

I have no idea what mine is. I suppose it’s on the record somewhere, but I’ve never seen it.

Of course he married his cousin.
He wanted to keep it in the family.
He said it was all relative.
