At the age of four, he's already been made a member of Mensa and achieved fame for his intellect.
But that wasn't enough for Sherwyn Sarabi, who is now being compared to Albert Einstein, Bill Gates and Stephen Hawking after recording an IQ score of 160.
The psychologist who tested Sherwyn, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, said his score - the highest possible on the Wechsler Scale - showed he has a 'very superior level of intelligence'.

More about the Wechsler scale for kids

More videos of this boy

In those videos you see him learning.. learning and learning. Im pretty sure that Bill Gates and Einstein had normal childhood.

Get ready for bitter replies by the members. They hate the fact they are dim and love to belittle possible Geniuses. Especially clever kids. Easy targets I guess.

Or the child could invent something extremely destructive to all, It could go both ways.

A child with 160 IQ can, and often does, come with some "special needs." I hope the parents are equipped with some good resources to guide him. MENSA isn't the best in this regard. It's really more of a vanity/social club. I hope they look into an organization like the Davidson's Institute which offers resources to parents of profoundly gifted children. These children are such a small subset of the population, and in same cases their needs are so unique, that many of of the normal rules of education (and even parenting) just don't apply.

Ideally, you'd want him to have a normal childhood (and not be exploited, obviously...) but also not deny that what makes him special and unique. It's a tough balance. If he becomes a rather public figure at a young age due to his high IQ, it can put terribly high expectations on him and that can lead to a host of problems.

Unfortunately, children on the very high end of the spectrum (IQ-wise) don't get the same support and government resources as children at the other end of the spectrum (that is children that require special education services due to mental retardation or developmental delays). Hopefully this family can find a good and supportive community to plug into and lean on - like Davidsons.

Pffft IQ of 160 is irrelevant compared to the peak of our human evolution.

He topped out the scale at 160!!!!!

The boy may well be much higher than that even.

With a high IQ comes an entire host of burdens that most people wouldn't understand, many highly intelligent people find it challenging just trying to relate to "normal" folks, as their thought patterns, motivations, interests and everyday experiences are profoundly different in quite a many meaningful ways.

I wish this child luck in his endeavors.......there is a reason for the saying "ignorance is bliss".

This a thousand times over.
Hopefully he is accepted for his intelligence rather than shunned, mocked and ridiculed like many others.
