Chicago An Indian-American boy has an IQ greater than that of Albert Einstein at the tender age of six.
Pranav Veera has an IQ of 176, while Einsteinâs IQ was believed to be about 160.
The little boy can recite the names of the US presidents in the order they served in office, and is able to say the alphabet backward.
Given a date back to 2000, Pranav can even tell which day of the week that was.
He is highly competitive at playing Wii video games, and likes to play outside.
Pranavâs parents have revealed that he seemed unusually intelligent while playing with alphabet sets, when the boy was just four-and-a-half years old.
He could even recall which letters were certain colours, they say.
âThat kind of puzzled us. You have to have not a normal memorization, but some other means of recall,â the 'Chicago Sun-Times' quoted his father Prasad Veera as saying.
The little boyâs mother, Suchitra Veera, has revealed that he presently loves all kinds of alphabets.
âHe loves to collect them, like different colours, different sizes, different materials,â she said.
Pranavâs parents decided to have his IQ tested at Powers Educational Services in Hyde Park three months ago
âI said, âLetâs try it out, because he seems to do a lot of stuff kind of not quite normal for his age. He tested 176,â his father said.
Pranavâs teacher Marci Taylor, at McCormick Elementary in the Milford School District, calls him âan amazing childâ.
âHe knows so much, yet heâs probably more excited about learning than any child Iâve ever seen. He shakes with excitement,â she said.
What she finds impressive about Pranav is the fact that he knows so many incredible things at the age of 6.
âHe loves to go play at recess and climb on the monkey bars,â Taylor said.
When asked what he wants to be when he grows up, Pranav says: âAn astronaut.â
