An 11-year-old has scored the highest points in the intelligence test, surpassing the two most famous geniuses in the world.
Kevin Sweeney, who has autism, has "always been very bright". By age 6, he knew the entire periodic table and could read before he started elementary school.
An avid fan of quizzes and game shows, Kevin took an IQ test at the Quaker Meeting House in Edinburgh, where he scored 162.
Stephen Hawking has an IQ of 160, while Albert Einstein, who never did, is thought to have had the same score.
Kevin has been invited to join Mensa, the oldest association with the highest IQs.
His father, Eddie, says his son was the only child among the adults taking part in the test that day. "We've always told people that he's a genius and he doesn't use that word lightly," he says.
The parents of the 11-year-old say that their son was able to answer all the questions in TV games such as "The Chase", "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire" and "Only Connect".
