Aylesbury High School student Tara Sharifi has broken through the MENSA test with a mind-blowing score. The test has specific benchmarks – 140 being that of a ‘Genius’. She took it in Oxford and shocked everyone there. Her score was 162; that's two points above that of Albert Einstein, the father of modern physics.
According to IFP News, the event discussed how the test required participants to answer a series of questions within a given period and focused on understanding the words given to the student.
Sharifi is naturally surprised that she scored so high on a genius test. The score makes her eligible to move into the MENSA society, also known as the High IQ Society.
The girl further discusses how the choice was made by both her and her parents, and how exciting it would be to meet all the other people of the same strata. She also told some of her friends, who were naturally very impressed.
Tara’s father Hossein shares the surprise, Truth Theory reports. He's proud but shocked knowing that his daughter, Tara, is special. He mentions how she'd answer the mathematics questions before the other contestants of TV shows did. He knew that she was smart, but not to that extent.
Tara wants to pursue something in mathematics. Let us hope we get a new Einstein out of her. As a society, we have to give her all the required knowledge sources to encourage her further.
