A BOY who only learned to speak English five years ago is smarter than Einstein.
Daniel Yang, 12, achieved top marks in a Mensa test.
Last year’s score of 162, the highest possible for a boy of 11, beats the estimated IQ of 160 for famed scientist Albert Einstein.
Daniel, who dreams of going to Oxford University, came in the top one per cent of the Mensa test — which measure logic, reasoning, verbal intelligence, vocabulary and maths skills.
He moved to Birmingham from China with his family aged seven.
Daniel told The Sun: “I couldn’t speak English and felt a bit left out. It really took me a long time to settle in but now I love it.
“I study and work very hard. I did when I lived in China and I’ve carried on. I was so pleased when my results came back. It feels so special. I love maths, problem solving and vocabulary tests so much. They’re brilliant.
“I’m so pleased. I love testing myself and doing things like this.
“I’m very proud. It’s a massive achievement. I have seen other children complete the test but not get the same marks as me.”
