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.

When I go into Walmart, I see that ... :-) ...
Rather amazing. I can barely find my way to my dentist. I got lost several times. None of us is profoundly successful but I have great hopes for my 7 year old great nephew.
The brother who was the double mensa - no one knew except his wife until he died. Very quiet and a bit strange. Sort of like my uncle - we didn’t know that he was a newspaper reporter in Roswell during the alien invasion until we read it in his obit.
exactly
“I tested 150 in the fifth grade but through
the careful application of medications I now have it
down to a reasonable 67.”
LOL
This is why I still smoke. If I didn’t purposefully reduce the oxygen content of my brain I would be a danger to others.
I’d never met such a huge number of a-holes.
*******
I have an aunt who belongs to Mensa and she is insufferably smug. She’s a lib who believes fracking is bad, global warming is real and hates corporate America.
I’m the only person she can’t beat at Words With Friends so take that, Aunty Mensa!
Sounds quite reasonable.
Careful there, you could be leading flashmobs of feral yutes with that level of genius.
Makes you wonder how many other high IQ individuals were aborted. I read somewhere that cures could have been found for HIV and other diseases if children had not been aborted.
Surely ‘You’re Joking Mr. Feynman’ is one of my favorite books
Which is what many kids can do with just a little encouragement from their parents. When he gets to school, they'll limit him to his age group or close to it and lose speed quickly.
a 160 IQ at 4 means the kid isn’t eating paste... or many other kids are
high IQ means the left did everything they could to sink their ideological hooks into the kid via school
Both really.
An IQ test can tell you Einstein is smarter than than the person you meet on the street. But then you don’t need an IQ test to tell you that, it’s obvious.
An IQ test can’t tell you if Einstein is smarter than Newton or Edison.
There’s too much we don’t know about intelligence to make such measurements.
We won’t develop true AI until we understand much more about it (Intelligence).
For such smart people to compare to they sure don’t know the difference between right and wrong and theft of personal property.
Yeah ... morals and political persuasion doesn’t seem to be linked to IQ.
Yeh, a little sex, drugs, and rock&roll, and he’ll be toast in a year.
I can barely find my way to my dentist. I got lost several times.

I purposely get lost on the way to the dentist.
I think that says something about my IQ.
;-)
Been a long time since I tested kids, but I do recall that different exams had different IQ scales - while the old WISC-R topped out at 160, I seem to remember the Stanford-Binet going well into the 170’s - better know the specific test and version before making facile comparisons.....
Just as likely to end up a sociopathic freak as a socially touted genius.
A great many of Mensa’s finest find only discontent and disillusionment.
