Yusuf Shah, 11, outperformed luminaries Stephen Hawking & Albert Einstein on a Mensa test, earning the highest score imaginable. Although the two legends are believed to have had IQs of around 160, he reportedly earned a score of 162 just on IQ test, according to a report in the Yorkshire Daily Post.

The child is in class six at Wigton Hill Primary School in Leeds. In a letter to a Yorkshire Evening Post, he stated, "Everyone at school feels I am exceptionally clever, and I have always demanded to check if I was in the best 2% of those who sit the exam.
According to the article, Shah's family decided he would study for the Iq test together with his high school applications, which included fairly identical studying material.

Yusuf's father, Irfan, told the media, "It is difficult to prepare for the test. We didn't be doing anything especially for the IQ test; we just kept on as normal." He also emphasized how important it was for his son to keep working hard. We take it all in good humor, and I keep telling him that my dad still is wiser than you, Irfan added. You still have to put in the greatest effort even if you have expertise.
During one section of the test, it is also said that Yusuf misheard the directions to complete structured questionnaire in three minutes and believed he had 13 minutes. He consequently took his time to answer the questions. The young person did extremely well, placing in the leading 1% and receiving the highest score despite everything.
