Schoolboy, 10, joins Mensa after beating Albert Einstein AND Stephen Hawking in IQ test
A BOY of ten is joining Mensa after beating Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking in an IQ test.
Whizzkid Krish Arora got the maximum score of 162 — putting him in the top one per cent of brainiacs worldwide.
It is two points higher than theory of relativity scientist Einstein and physics genius Hawking, who had estimated IQs of 160.
Proud mum Mauli Arora, 50, said: “Krish is like a sponge — he takes in everything.
“He excels at absolutely everything he does.”
As well as being accepted into the high-IQ society, pianist Krish — who has a twin sister Keira — has won multiple awards for his musical talents.
Krish told The Sun: “I feel privileged to be accepted by Mensa and I’m flabbergasted to note that my IQ is higher than Einstein.”
The Mensa-supervised test for IQ, or intelligence quotient, is split into two sections that attempt to measure mental agility.
The average score on the Cattell III B test is around 100.
Anything above 160 is considered genius or exceptionally gifted.
IT boss Mauli and property manager husband Nischal, 52, first noticed his potential when he could read fluently by the age of four.
She added: “The older he gets, the more we’re struggling to keep up with him.
“It’s a challenge for us, but also a pleasure.”
