News, London: A 10-year-old Indian-origin boy from Barkingside in Ilford,London has achieved the highest possible score of 162 in Mensa’s Cattell III B Paper in July 2016, outwitting physicists Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking, who are both thought of to have an IQ level of 160.

If someone is asked who’s the most intelligent person to have existed on the earth, then quickly, Albert Einstein and Steven Hawking cross our mind.

But, meet Dhruv Talati the youngster, who attends Fullwood Primary School in Barkingside, Ilford, now joins an exclusive list – only 1 percent of people who take the test achieve the highest score possible.

“The test was not that difficult, but the time made it a challenge,” Dhruv said after the test.

Not only he is good in academics, he also plays district-level tennis and cricket. Dhruv was chosen to play at LTA’s Compete Tennis, a centre for high performers in the U.K. when he was five-years-old. At 10, he was selected to play cricket for Metropolitan Essex District. Dhruv also dreams of becoming a robotics expert.

His mother, who is a teacher by profession, said,

“I am very proud of Dhruv’s result. He did very well in the grammar school exams too this year, despite some family challenges we had and despite the fact he plays two sports, which eats so much into his study time.“
