Nicole Barr 12-year-old with a higher IQ than Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein

A 12-year-old from Great Britain scored the Mensa intelligence test the maximum value, so it is below the distinguished members of the elite society two points ahead of Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.

Nicole Barr completed the test a few weeks ago, together with her father and got her result - a value of 162 - on Thursday, which she surpassed her father the result easily. Her father, Jim Barr, had already suspected that Nicole would be taken despite the low acceptance rate in Mensa - this honor only those who belong to the top 2 percent. "I had expected that she would get a good result. I knew that she has a quick mind and can complete tasks and solve puzzles quickly, "says Jim Parenting. "I wanted to build up any pressure, so I went for fun with. Although I had expected that they would be included in Mensa, when I saw the results I thought to myself but, 'Wow, that's a great value'! I found out later that it was the highest possible score in this test. "
Ann Clarkson, Communications Manager of British Mensa, confirmed Nicole's result against Parenting. "[A score of] 162 means that it is among the top 1 percent of the population - it is definitely extraordinary," she said.
Barr reported his daughter for the test because he assumed that he would make her fun. "She likes numbers and puzzles was always outstanding in mathematics and was in this subject for several years prior to their age group at school," he said. "She likes things simple. It calls out like ".
During the test, noticed Jim that Nicole Barr had no problems with it. "The test was divided into several sections with a time limit - it has always been done before," he says. "During the last section I looked at the four-minute warning to Nicole, to see if she was under pressure - but they had already set aside her pen. There were questions I could not answer. "
At the end Nicole achieved a much better result than her father. "They made me feel well then," said Jim with a laugh. "You hit me quite obviously by far".
Nicole Barr had already seen an above-average aptitude for problem-solving in a very young age. "Before she was 2 years old, she already added figures and calculations presented," he says. "When she was 2 years old, she could use a Nintendo DS without any problems - it surprised family members and friends how they could use all the technical things."
Although Jim says his daughter in her spare time enjoys reading and mathematics tasks dissolves - even during the summer holidays - it also emphasises that their interests are not all academic. "She likes to play football and occurs soon in a Shakespeare play on," he says. "She's acting and likes to sing -. Even if she does it only for themselves"
When asked about the possibilities that are Nicole Barr opens later thanks to their superior IQ, says her father that they are doctors and "maybe invent a new drug" want. It is a career that would in his opinion, fit to her. "They often look outside the box," explains Jim. "She looks at things from a different angle, even though adults shake over his head".
Jim of course is a very particularly proud father, although he stressed that it has nothing to do with the test. "I've always been proud of," he says. "The test has not changed."
