A 12-year-old girl has recently been
accepted to Mensa, the largest and oldest high IQ society in the
world, after she was discovered as having a higher IQ than both
Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.
Olivia Manning, from Liverpool, scored
a whopping 162 points on the IQ test, 62 points higher than the
average score of 100. Manning's score was not only two points
higher than renowned German genius Einstein and physicist Hawking, it
also places her in the top 1 percent of intelligent people in the
world.
She will now have the honor of being welcomed into Mensa, meaning that she will join the network of the brightest brains from across the globe. Not only is Olivia a confirmed genius, the pre-teen schoolgirl is also very popular at her school in the North Liverpool Academy in Everton.
"A lot more people are coming up
to me asking for help with their homework. I just like challenges and
making my mind think," she said, according to the Daily
Mail. Olivia admits that she can quickly absorb and remember new
information, but she said that she was "speechless" when
she discovered her incredibly high score.
She revealed that she learned her lines
for a school Macbeth production within 24 hours. However, Olivia, who
is a member of her school's Mensa after-school problem-solving club,
will have plenty of work cut out for her. "We have given
her extra work to do and will now want to know why she's not getting
As in everything," Teacher and club organizer Stacey Meighen
said, according to Daily Mail.
