Who Is the Smartest in the World?

The youngest genius of Great Britain is four years old. In IQ tests, the baby prodigy Alannah George from Buckinghamshire scored 140 points. The average adult gets about a hundred points, while exceptionally gifted people, the likes of Albert Einstein, attains the level of 160-170 points in their best years. Recent research on the capabilities of human intelligence is relatively reassuring - approximately 0.00003% of humanity may boast even a higher IQ. The average IQ of the world’s population remains almost at the same level.

The thesis that the mind is the main ‘driver of progress’ has been in circulation for some time now. In the twentieth century, scientists proved its strategic importance for the sustainable development of civilization, and the ‘war for the minds’ acquired a systematic, global character. The leading powers of the planet and international corporations, of course, spend considerable sums of money on hiring sages. But there are also non-governmental, non-profit, successful projects to support gifted people. Alannah George was accepted into the oldest, largest and world-famous high IQ society, Mensa International. This non-political community is free from all social differences (race, religion, ideology ...) and supports particularly capable people, regardless of their origin. Currently, Mensa has created the conditions for 120,000 talents from one hundred countries to develop harmoniously under their programs. Currently, the girl from a modest English family is going to the school (yes, at 4 years old and already an excellent student!) attended by members of several royal dynasties of Europe at different times in the past.

By the way, contrary to the established opinion about the superiority of the male mind over the female, it is enough to recall that the title of the owner of the highest IQ on the planet belonged to Marilyn vos Savant. The American writer ‘outsmarted’ even the brilliant Australian-American mathematician, Terence Tao. However, after her record had been registered in the Guinness Book of Records, she stated that intelligence cannot be measured correctly as it combined an infinite number of components. Therefore, she did not claim to be the most intelligent person on Earth. Iron logic. Women's logic!
