Indian origin 10-year-old beats Einstein, Hawking IQ scores

[Trisonics]

Mehul Garg at the age of ten became the youngest person in a decade to achieve the highest score of 162 in the Mensa IQ test, beating geniuses Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking, reported the Hindustan Times.



Mehul, nicknamed Mahi is originally from India but lives in southern England where he attends Reading Boys Grammar School. He decided to follow in the footsteps of his older brother and take the Mensa test. Mehul’s 13-year-old brother, Dhruv also scored a 162 last year.

“Mahi is fiercely competitive. His older brother had achieved the same score last year so he really wanted to prove that he is no less intelligent than his brother,” mother Divya Garg said, while speaking to Hindustan Times.

A qualified Mensa member, Garg’s score also placed him in the top one per cent of the people in the world who have achieved this distinction. His score is two points higher than Einstein and Hawking, noted theHindustan Times.

“Mehul said the paper challenged his language skills, including analogies and definitions, and his sense of logic,” said his mother.

“I was in tears when I got the results back,” the ten-year-old said after he got the results this week.

Garg enjoys solving the Rubik’s cube in less than 100 seconds, ice-skating, and playing cricket. His favorite subject is mathematics and he tells Hindustan Times he would one day like to run a leading tech company like Google.

With all these interests and ambitions, Garg and his brother still dedicate time to build an app aimed to break down social isolation by connecting neighbours with each other.

“They both are currently working on social projects and want to give something back, to make the world a better place. And I hope they continue on this path always. For me this is more important than their marks,” their mother said.

Currently, the ten-year-old is working on the ‘Child Genius 2018’ a show by UK’s Channel 4, for which he was selected as one of the top 100 candidates.

Exactly IQ tests are a waste of bloody time.

 

[AndrewJin]

Will that increase average level of 82?

Or helping British maintain 100?

 

[lastofthepatriots]

Nice

If with good iq he turns out to be a saffroni then he will invent new plans of suppressing minorities.

when Einstein and hawking has given an IQ test?

based on these scientists their iqs were estimated, i think they are comparing with those numbers or just like bollywood style using their name to catch worlds attention , like that famous phrase ,riding on others tailcoat

Tell me the sample rate, bounds and strategy used for that average....and compare to the studies (if you dare to or even know how to) done for Indian populations in other studies (say the UK ethnic group one).

Oh right you never even read it. Just throw around numbers with no idea how they were ascertained, such a high IQ activity.

Exactly IQ tests are a waste of bloody time.

They have some utility, but definitely not be-all end-all.

Well I suppose a series of tests that are more mathematically inclined will probably give a decent idea as to whether one will be a success in mathematics based field other than that I do not see any benefits.Kudos bro

I asked for credible source.Truth is none of Einstein and hawking has given IQ test.Einstein criticized this kinda method when Hawking's IQ is "undisclosed" according to some.For others he is also as same as Einstein.
You will find these kinda IQ breaking news everyday year now.These are marketing,nothing else.

After all his hula hoopla, can some one post proof that Albert Einstein ever attended IQ test. What is basis of quoting Albert Einstein scores when they are never generated?

Albert Einstein could be greatest documented, however his theorem E-=MC2 was not unique and generated by many others, some of them killed in first world war.
