A 12 year old girl from Essex has a higher IQ than Einstein and Stephen Hawking, it has been reported.<\/p>\n
Nicola Barr, from Harrow, Essex scored 162 on her IQ test, which puts her in the top one per cent of people all over the world.<\/p>\n
Her score was just two points ahead of both of the celebrated scientists, with the average IQ score of an adult measuring 100.<\/p>\n
Any score above 140 is considered to be that of a genius.<\/p>\n
Proud mum Dolly Buckland, 34, said: "She's a hard, hard working child. She stays after school for homework club and never misses a day.<\/p>\n
"From a young age she's been picking out mistakes in books and magazines. She's a happy, fun-loving girl who is always asking for extra homework.<\/p>\n
"She's determined to finish school and go to college and university to be a paediatrician."<\/p>\n
Her father, James said his daughters score has been celebrated among the travelling community, where Barr is from.<\/p>\n
He added: "The story has been going around the gypsy community, particularly on Facebook where it keeps being shared. It's nice for us to be in the news for something good for a change. This shows that it doesn't matter where you come from, anyone can be academically brilliant."<\/p>\n
The schoolgirl currently attends Burnt Mill Academy, in Harlow, and has excelled ahead of her classmates since a very early age.<\/p>\n
She said she enjoys singing, reading and drama and is able to learn things very quickly.<\/p>\n
Nicola, currently in Year 7, said: "When I found out I got such a high score, it was so unexpected. I was shocked.<\/p>\n
"I remember when I was in primary school and I was an angel in a school play, another girl who was playing the other angel didn't turn up so I learnt her lines too."
