A four year old British toddler astouned the world, who has an IQ level similar to renowned scientist Albert Einstein's, has now joined HELLIQ, an exclusive genius society that only has 85 members worldwide.
Sherwyn Sarabi, from Barnsley, Yorkshire, had scored 160 on the Wechsler scale, which is the highest possible mark on an IQ test, the Daily Express reported.
Already a member of the genius club Mensa from the age of three, Sarabi, has now been admitted to HELLIQ, a society with much more demanding entry requirements, 'Daily Express' reported
"He keeps on getting even higher recognition for his abilities. He still keeps giving us a shock from time to time," Sherwyn's mother, Amanda said.
Sherwyn astounded his parents after speaking his first words aged just 10 months and was talking in full sentences at 20 months.
Educational psychologist, Dr Peter Congdon said:
"Sherwyn has a very superior level of intelligence, he is incredibly gifted and his vocabulary is out of this world.
"His intellect reaches the highest possible levels of reason and when he talks to you he has the social skills of a much older child.
"His mental age is measured at 8 years and 9 months, more than twice his actual age.
"It is very unusual for a child to have this type of intelligence, he came out at the very top on the tests.
"Sherwyn has read over 190 books and his favourite is the encyclopaedia as he loves learning new things."
In order to become the member of HELLIQ, a person needs to perform in the top 0.003 per cent of the population, the report said.
Although, Einstein never took an IQ test as none of the modern intelligence tests existed during the course of his life, experts believe he had an IQ of around 160.
