If you’re going to become a genius at least wait a while to get there. Lol.
But no, this girl says she’s beginning at 12 years old.
Twelve year old Lydia Sebastian, British, aced a perfect score of 162 on the Mensa IQ test. Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawkings both have IQ’s of 160.
12 year old Lydia, whose family has Indian roots, is a student of Colchester County High School in Essex. Her mother, Erika Kottiath, is an associate director at Barclays Bank, whilst her father, Arun Sebastian, is a radiologist at Colchester general hospital.
Lydia is a wizkid who has always shown signs of excellence. She has read all Harry Potter books thrice, been playing violin since she was four, and says her favourite subject is mathematics.
“At first, I was really nervous but once I started, it was much easier than I expected it to be and then I relaxed.” She told the Guardian.
Mensa is the largest and oldest high-IQ society in the world in which membership is open to anyone who can demonstrate an IQ in the top 2% of the population, measured by a recognised or approved IQ testing process.

And why should it matter if her IQ is higher than the most intelligent minds in history? Has she created an atomic bomb? Has she found a pill that keeps AIDS victims living longer? Has she separated conjoined twins successfully? Created the TV? Created the car? Regardless of how smart she is, there were people before her who didn’t have such advantages as the internet. They learned through practicals and pushing themselves.
