Liverpool, 12 year old girl is smarter than Einstein: her Qi is 162

A girl of twelve who lives and studies in Everton, a satellite town of Liverpool, it would be smarter than Einstein, even though no avessealcuna awareness. Olivia Manning, the little genius, was discovered by a teacher at the North Liverpool Academy, the school attended by the adolescent, who after having noticed the rapid calculation of the student has submitted the deadly test of Mensa, an international association of which may be members only those who have an intelligence quotient (IQ) at or above the 98th percentile. The result of Olivia, as is reported by the British newspaper "Daily Mail" has been staggering: 162. Two points more than the German scientist who gave the world the theory of relativity and hundreds of cutting-edge theories getting the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921. Olivia until a few days ago did not know to be a genius. Stacey Meighen, the teacher who has identified the promoter of a group of math in school the girl had noticed the student for speed in dealing and solving problems. But maybe not so much imagined. The twelve year has passed without any problems the test for admission to Mensa and she remained speechless. "When I saw the result - he told a reporter of the newspaper - I was speechless." "Actually, I love to play - said the girl - Sure, I like challenges and to work the mind. But I did not imagine any of this. Now at school everyone knows me as if I were a famous person, and many people stop me to ask me to do their homework. " teenager from Everton , according to the criteria of Mensa was founded in Oxford in 1946, falls in 1 percent the world's population. 60 percent of human beings share is between 85 and 115 share. Those that exceed 140 ° percentage are only two out of a hundred. Olivia is at 162 and not have to have a particular Qi to understand the exceptional nature of the case. Especially since the school student in Liverpool, the city where the Beatles left, just twelve years and then only at the beginning of the course. The so-called "mensani" - that is dell'esclusivissimo club members - about 100 000 are in the world. One half would be in the United States, some 30,000 in the United Kingdom. In Italy the genes recognized by the association would be only 1,200. Numbers of them, however, to be trusted only up to a certain point, because the Qi, according to experts, it is not always synonymous with success and creativity.
