Good on him! Feel happy for the lad and his family

How did he do in the tests though?

There's a 162 lad in my daughter's year at school that trots the Einstein thing out now and again.

My understanding is that Einstein never took a test (they didn't exist until later in his life) and that people have just estimated he'd be around 160.

I suspect the intelligence levels between someone of his calibre and a child with a high score in a test they've been forced to prepare for but then say otherwise in interviews are vast.
