Krish Arora, a 10-year-old from Hounslow, West London, has achieved an astounding IQ score of 162, surpassing the estimated scores of Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking, both thought to be around 160. Recognised for his brilliance at an early age, Krish’s exceptional talents span academics, music, and chess, making him a well-rounded prodigy.
Recently accepted into Mensa, the prestigious high-IQ society, Krish has amazed peers and experts alike with his intellectual capabilities. “He was reading fluently and solving advanced math problems by the age of four,” shared his mother, Mauli. His parents, both engineers, noticed his extraordinary abilities early on, calling his intellect a “gift.”
Krish’s achievements go beyond academics. Despite learning chess only four months ago, he managed to defeat his mentor, who holds an impressive FIDE rating of 1600. He also tutors his classmates in mathematics and regularly solves puzzles that stump even adults.
In music, Krish reached Grade 8 proficiency in piano after just 18 months of learning and boasts absolute pitch, allowing him to recreate songs effortlessly. His talent earned him a place in Trinity College of Music’s “Hall of Fame” and wins in several music competitions in West London.
Next year, Krish will attend Queen Elizabeth School in Barnet, one of the UK’s top state schools, while his twin sister Keira, also academically gifted, has been accepted into four grammar schools. Despite his achievements, Krish enjoys a balanced life, spending time with friends and exploring his passions.
With his unparalleled intellect and wide-ranging talents, Krish Arora is not only a beacon of inspiration but also a reminder of the boundless potential young minds can achieve.
