British boy, 12, has higher IQ than Albert Einstein

A schoolboy from the UK found his IQ higher than Albert Einstein after taking the Mensa test, which he received as a gift for Christmas – as reported by MIR24

12-year-old Barnaby Swinburne scored 162 on the IQ test – the highest possible score for under-18s. Einstein is thought to clock in at 160. Thus, Barnaby surpassed one of the greatest physicists of all time.

The schoolboy has been accepted into the High IQ society after receiving the top score.

“I knew he was smart, but he decided that he wanted to understand himself more, that’s why he booked it. Maths is his thing, maths and chemistry,” the boy’s mother, Ghislaine, said.

She added that at Christmas he also asked for cryptocurrency as he is passionate about investing.

Barnaby already has big plans for the future. He wants to become a programmer. He’s already looking at university courses, and he wants to go to Oxford.
