6 Year Old Boy with 176 IQ is Smarter Than Albert Einstein
Published:
Glenn Hartong, The Enquirer | ||
Six year-old Pranav Veera, who has a photographic memory and has tested in the very upper ranges of intelligence, poses with letters spelling his name |
He's only 6 years old.
At first glance, Pranav is a typical young boy who is highly competitive at playing Wii video games and likes to play outside. A closer look reveals he's anything but typical.
Pranav has an IQ of 176. One person in 1 million has an IQ of 176 or above. Albert Einstein's IQ was believed to be about 160. The average IQ is 100.
When Pranav was 4-and-a-half, his parents noticed he seemed unusually intelligent while playing with alphabet sets. He could even recall which letters were certain colors.
"That kind of puzzled us," said his father, Prasad Veera. "You have to have not a normal memorization, but some other means of recall."
Now, he loves all kinds of alphabets.
"He loves to collect them, like different colors, different sizes, different materials," said his mother, Suchitra Veera.
The Veeras decided to have Pranav tested three months ago at Powers Educational Services in Hyde Park, Ohio.
"I said, 'Let's try it out, because he seems to do a lot of stuff kind of not quite normal for his age,' " his father said. "He tested 176."
He seems to have a photographic memory, so keeping Pranav engaged and learning is a big challenge for his family.
His mother and grandmother, Shanta Sastri, work with him at home.
They're guided by his focus and interests.
"The way to get him interested is to associate something with numbers, like presidents' birthdays … and when they came into office," his mother said.
"Once we introduced him to the idea, he was asking more and more questions, so we created a spreadsheet for him in Excel, and he keeps on asking us to add more types of information to it, like sort them in the order that they came into office, sort them in the order when they were born," she said.
In prekindergarten, his teacher had him do more challenging work, such as division and telling time. In kindergarten, his classmates are learning the alphabet and numbers up to 100. He's counting over 1 million.
"He's an amazing child," said Marci Taylor, his teacher at McCormick Elementary in the Milford School District. "He knows so much, yet he's probably more excited about learning than any child I've ever seen. He shakes with excitement."
Pranav knows so many incredible things, she said, but what's also impressive is that he's still a 6-year-old boy.
"He loves to go play at recess and climb on the monkey bars," Taylor said.
It's possible that Pranav might eventually have his learning accelerated, even by skipping grades, but his father said they would have to consider that with his social needs. "We want him to be as normal as possible," his father said.
"Right now, it's kind of early, and we can do a lot at home," his mother added. "We have to figure out what works best, because I think it's different for each child."Pranav draws his intelligence from both sides of the family.
His father has a Ph.D. and his mother has two master's degrees.
What does Pranav want to be when he grows up?
"An astronaut," he said without hesitation.
Truly, for Pranav, the sky's the limit.

Proof that the apples don't fall far from the tree.
I rather a kid who struggle in school and at the age of 20 and up had an IQ of 176 than a kid who has a 176 IQ when he is 6 but later when he is 20 or 30 end ups having a 90 IQ...just so you know...He may have a higher IQ than Einstein however i doubt he would do what Einstein did not saying is impossible but you never know...And what's the point of a male kid having an IQ of 176 when when there are no females with IQ of 176+, WHAT'S THE FREAKING POINT, take all the glory for you...but i am not going to lie to you you have to give him credit for having a fotographic memory, you can do wonders with a fotographic memory...
And i am not trying to brag but "school" not necesarily means intelligence pay attention to the mechanics of school/college, pay attention how they take the tests...
And that's bull that 1 in 1 million people has an IQ over 1 million....Is more like 1 in 700 million people have an IQ over 175...I am talking worlwide...
is comments like that that divide society from what already divided society is...
sorry but very few people in the world will ever notice this...did you pay attention to the city
laugh all you want but i sort of dream about this 1 day earlier...not exactly the same way though...
but what's so good about this kid is that you can mold him into liking science...
what they will have to do is give kids I.Q tests over the years like grouping kids from 8-13 into one category and then kids from 14-16 into another category but in 4's or 5's....That way kids take the IQ test every 5 years to see how they faire, but the test is particular to their age and stuff related to their age...
The detail of identifying colors and numbers maybe a indication of synesthesia.
He probably, with time, be able to do whatever he wants.
Also more important than that is that they make "MATHEMATICS" EASIER, WAY EASIER...even though i admit i don't know what that kid is going to invent when he grows older...Unless that kid invents the eternal fountain of youth or becomes like Einstein or Newton, more important than him is making "MATHEMATICS" easier, way, way easier...And for what it looks i don't think he is going to accomplish any of them...To accomplish any is a huge, huge pressure...
But i think this is more for males the formula for females is a little different though the formula will not account for all women, though women who are older think different than young adult women...The formula for female will be a little different because women see different than males women pay more attention than males so i don't know and something tells me that they are more talkative by nature than males....But even if you find the formula for females you have to teach them certain things, teach them things like been around more males than females or act more maleish and teach them to be very down to earth more down to earth than normal why you think older women are smarter than younger ones...And teach them not to think of themselves as "Oh my gosh my marvelous body"...as a women comparing your body with other females is good because it gives confidence but not towards males as a piece of meat that males must have...And is good to always quietly be competitive as a female with males or females [very important]....Also something i don't know how it will play is the parent figure whether having 1 parent or both parent or no parent causes you to be smarter or less smarter...
