4-Year-Old Dayaal Kaur Is Called Baby Einstein For Mensa IQ Score Of 145

It is believed that both Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein had an IQ score of 160, and now a 4-year-old Indian-origin girl Dayaal Kaur has hit an IQ score of 145.

That's right, the girl is being called Baby Einstein or Young Einstein for getting membership in Mensa, which is a club of some of the smartest people on the planet.

Becoming one of the youngest ever British person to be accepted into the elite Mensa High IQ Society of children, four-year-old Dayaal Kaur's parents were always clued into their daughters' high levels of intelligence from a very young age.

Dayaal Kaur, who lives with her family in Birmingham, UK, displayed exceptional levels of learning and grasping abilities where her parents claim she could recite the 26-letters of the English alphabet while Kaur was just a 14-months-old baby.

According to a PTI report, when young Dayaal Kaur expressed her desire to appear for the online Mensa test, her parents encouraged her wholeheartedly, where she passed with flying colours achieving an IQ score of 145 -- this puts Kaur in the very top of the one percent of entire UK's population of 67 million in the "very gifted or highly advanced" category.

¡°We are delighted to welcome Dayaal Kaur to Mensa, where she joins a community of about 2,000 junior and teen members,¡± said John Stevenage, British Mensa¡¯s chief executive, according to PTI.

What is Mensa?

Founded in 1946, Mensa is widely regarded as the oldest and most prestigious society of high IQ individuals from around the world, with only about 134,000 members worldwide. Why so low, you wonder? Precisely because it's a select group of highly intelligent people.

MENSA

Although Albert Einstein or Stephen Hawking never took a Mensa test, it's widely believed that their IQ score or intelligence quotient score was around 160. By that yardstick, the fact that four-year-old Dayaal Kaur from UK has managed to hit an IQ score of 145 is nothing short of incredible.

How is IQ score calculated?

There are several ways of calculating an individual's IQ score, and you'll have to apply for an online IQ test to see what that feels like -- but suffice to say it's a test of your analytical, reasoning, observational, and inductive skills, which is either tested against a time limit or otherwise.

When she applied for her online Mensa IQ test, Dayaal Kaur was subjected to the same battery of tests that all individuals are tested on to ensure fairness and level playing field, and that's why her IQ score of 145 is worthy of praise.

As to what is young Dayaal Kaur's aspirations to use all her burgeoning intelligence for? Her dream for now is to become an astronaut and also to have a stable full of horses, which is just the response you expect from an innocent, energetic young child with the world at her feet.
