British girl Victoria Cowie is 11 years old but she has just been admitted to Mensa after scoring 162 in an IQ test – better than the 160 thought to have been achieved by Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates. Only those with an IQ of 148 and above – the top 2 percent of the population – qualify for Mensa.
英国女孩维多利亚·考伊今年11岁,却拥有高达162的智商,比爱因斯坦、斯蒂芬·霍金以及比尔·盖茨还要高出2个点,故而被“门萨”俱乐部招收为会员。而只有智商在148以上(相当于总人口2%)的人群才有资格进入门萨俱乐部。
Victoria Cowie insists she is just like any other girl her age. "I really enjoy science and doing experiments, but I also love acting and dancing and playing musical instruments. But my favorite subject is biology and I want to be a vet when I'm older because I love animals and I don't mind blood and things like that."
维多利亚自称与同龄人无异。“我非常喜欢科学,喜欢做实验,但同时喜欢运动、跳舞和玩乐器。我最喜欢的还是生物学,我喜欢动物,长大后想当一名兽医。我不怕看到血。”
The average IQ is 100. Victoria's score gives her a higher IQ than Sigmund Freud, who is thought to have had an IQ of 156, Napoleon Bonaparte, with 145, and Hillary Clinton, with 140.
