𓆏A boy genius achieved a higher score than Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking in a prestigious IQ test.
Arnav Sharma decided to take the Mensa IQ test, developed in the UK to form an elite society of intelligent people. T🎐o be part of the society, you have to have an IQ higher than 132.
At just 11 years old, Arnav ಞwas one of the few to pass t👍he grueling test and scored 162, higher than the 160 score both Einstein and Hawking achieved.
Sharma, from the UK, wants to use his intel꧂ligence to help the world, much like theoretical physicists Eins🐓tein and Hawking.
Mensa is one of the most exclusive clubs in the world and you can only join if your IQ 🀅test results are i♛n the top 2 percent. Mensa measures the average IQ as 100.
There are currently 20,000๊ members in Mensa and only 1,500 are under the age of 18.
Arnav, whose hobbies include badminton, swimming and reading, not many people passed 🎶the Mensa test, but he did not find it difficult.
“I had💧 no preparation at all before taking the Mensa exam,” he said. “It took about 2.5 hours. There were non-verbal questions as well as verbal questions. It wasn’t that difficult but I had to guess a few questions as there wasn’t much time.”
Arnav said his parents were surprised by his a🌸chievement.
He ♌has a younger 4-year-old brother whom he will encourage to take the test when he’s older.
You have t🤪o be at least 10½ to take a💮ny of the Mensa exams.
Arnav isn’t the only🔜♍ young genius to pass the Mensa test.
Last year, 11-year-old Saanya Verma got a perfect scor🃏e.
She also got a score of 162 and both she and Arnav are inﷺ the top🍸 1 percent and are some of the youngest people to achieve this top mark.
In 2015, a 12-year-old achieved a s🎀core of 162, and in 2013, another 11-year-old also got the perfect mark.
Saanya she had advice for peop🎃♕le who were considering taking the Mensa test.
“You don’t need to worry at all,” she said. “The test is written in a way that any person can do ౠit, you don’t need to have schooling in ꧂specific subjects.”
She warned people not to ꧋get distracted and suggested annotating as much as y🦂ou can.
