Lydia Sebastian, a 12-year-old British girl casually told her parents recently that she wanted to know what her IQ was. After her parents first just brushed it off, they agreed to let her take the Mensa IQ test, which is an international society for people who score within the top two percent of the general population. The test is made up of 150 questions consisting of many verbal reasoning skills, logic questions, and analogies. Her results from the Mensa test? She scored a 162 and became the first person to receive a perfect score for people under the age of 18. This would translate her score to being higher than Albert Einstein's and Stephen Hawking's IQs.

When asked about the test, the genius said it was "much easier" than she originally thought that it was going to be. She's extremely humble, though. When asked to comment about her scores being better than those of Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking, Lydia responded that she doesn't think she could be compared to such "great intellectuals ... they have achieved so much so I don't think comparing us would be right."

This 8th grader plans on finishing out the rest of school and hoping to pursue a career dealing with math. She says she "really enjoys" school so she does not believe she needs to skip a grade or twelve because "the only person that needs to challenge you is yourself, so you don't need other people to challenge you."

The possibilities are endless for Sebastian, and she insists she is going to try to work as hard as she can, so we better keep our eyes and ears out for her in the science and math discoveries in the future.
