Meet Barnaby Swinburne, The 12-Year-Old English Schoolboy Smarter Than Albert Einstein!
When Barnaby Swinburne felt the Christmas spirit and asked to take the IQ Test for his Yuletide present, little did he or even his folks know that it would be a defining moment and step in his life.
This test is carried out by the renowned High IQ Society, Mensa, which carries out their evaluation by conducting two tests – one with images and sequences and a second one with a lot of languages and they use the highest result.
At the end of the test, Barnaby raked up the highest possible score for a child and scored among the top 1% and the top 4% of the world population, respectively, on the two tests.
Now, the 12-year-old English schoolboy from Bristol, United Kingdom, is regarded as one of the most brilliant kids in the world after scoring an incredible 162 on the IQ test.
According to reports, this is the highest possible score for anyone under 18, and it is also reportedly higher than that of Albert Einstein, whose IQ was thought to be 160.
A German-born theoretical physicist, Einstein is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest and most influential physicists of all time. He is also well renowned for developing the theory of relativity and made important contributions to developing the theory of quantum mechanics.
Barnaby has now been accepted into Mensa, the High IQ Society, after they received his top score at the end of December 2021.
Mensa takes in members whose IQ range falls in the top two percent of the world’s population, and Barnaby’s score earns him a place in the top one percent.
A lover of mathematics and chemistry, Barnaby reportedly wants to become a programmer and is already checking out university courses. He plans to attend Oxford University in England.
