11-year-old from UK beats Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking's IQ score

One 11-year-old from Britain has managed to beat the biggest minds that ever lived in the world, Report informs referring to the Times Now.

Kevin Sweeney was invited to join Mensa, the prestigious high IQ society, after he secured an IQ score higher than Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.

His score of 162 has placed him among the top 1 percent in the world. Physicist Hawking's IQ score was 160 and Einstein, who never took a test, was also deemed to have the same level of IQ.

Sweeney's IQ test took place in Edinburgh at the Quaker Meeting House on July 16. He was the only child who took the test that day.

Speaking of Sweeney's experience at the test centre, his father Eddie stated, "He got the maximum score for someone his age. There were no other children at the test it was all adults. We thought he might get overwhelmed being with all adults, but he was just chatting away to everyone saying ‘hi, I'm Kevin’”.

Meanwhile, Eddie claimed that they were not taken aback by the test results. They stated he memorised the periodic table at the age of six and started reading way before starting primary school.
