Could 4-Year-Old Heidi Hankins Be the Next Einstein?

There are a lot of people who believe that they are smarter than almost everyone else. Usually, this idea is unsubstantiated. However, in the case of 4-year-old Heidi Hankins, the data actually backs it up. Hankins has scored an IQ of 159 – just one point beneath the estimated IQ of Albert Einstein, father of the Theory of Relativity, and comparable to the estimated IQ of Stephen Hawking, one of the most noted physicists of the modern age.

Yet scientists say the score shouldn’t be seen as a necessary indicator that Hankins is born for greatness:

As many media outlets have reported, Heidi Hankins of Winchester, England, scored only a point below Einstein and physicist Stephen Hawking on standardized intelligence tests. While there’s no doubt that Hankins is bright (according to reports, she read at an 8-year-old level, and could count to 40, by age 2), it’s not possible to compare IQ across age groups, according to Frank Lawlis, the supervisory psychologist for American Mensa.

“All you’re doing with IQ testing is testing within a certain age group,” Lawlis told LiveScience, explaining, “You’re saying the 4-year-old is smarter than 99.5 or 99.8 of [her] age group, but that doesn’t mean you can compare to another age group.”

In fact, IQ scores in general have been rising over time, Lawlis said. IQ tests are always standardized so that the average score is 100. Higher scorers are brighter (at least in the domains measured by IQ testing). But in a widely noted phenomenon called the “Flynn effect,” new generations taking older IQ tests score higher than 100 on average. There are multiple theories for this effect, including improved childhood nutrition, increasingly stimulating environments, and a greater number of children who are familiar with standardized tests and thus perform better.

“This is kind of a theoretical thought,” Lawlis said, “but one day we may all be as smart as Einstein, and then Einstein would become average.”

This segment from Sky News on Hankins features commentary on what the best approach for teaching children with high aptitude is:

      I was 167 in 2nd grade…. 3rd grade I was debating teachers on global cooling. 5th grade I spoke venom against government schools and teachers unions. 12th grade I understood all of liberalism, at that time I would still be a few years ahead of Beck now. Being alone and watching my country burn in these ideas, I drank. Waking up six years later I doubt my iq is as impressive as it once was but 4 years sober has given me back a lot.

    Intelligence is often exposure to experiences that are ahead of age appropriateness…museums, reading, and a host of other life events. However, some of the most intelligent people with books, theories, etc. have NO COMMON SENSE. They don’t know the commonest things to get along in life. They brag about their intelligence as this article suggests thinking that they are smarter than others while offending those around them. That isn’t intelligent to offend others. What is it they say, “I don’t care how much you know until I know how much you care.”

She said the word ‘it’ several times but it was not describing the girl in any account. You have once again proved my point regarding fans of Glen Beck and Fox “News?” and other similar entertainment shows or websites. The proof that these fans of Beck and Fox, et. al., listen or read and do not comprehend what it is they are reading or listening to! No wonder why Becksters are always so confused.

      it’s right at the very end, she says it 3 times in quick succession (she first says it at 2:27, but start watching around the 2:00 mark for context), but she wasn’t saying it in reference to this particular child. She was talking about children in general, and I think she was only using “it” in place of “he or she” when television interviews are always pressed for time to get as much in as quickly as possible, because computer-controlled commercial breaks wait for no one.

    IQ doesn’t determine intelligence, success, or higher status. After all,sociopaths are also known to have higher than average IQs. It’s what you do with it. Best to foster her “academic” intelligence, but not to isolate her or treat her like a guinea pig. High IQ she may have, she is still a child.

      Being told an IQ number without being told the test that generated it is next to meaningless, as are most IQ scores above 160. The difference between 140 and 160 is small, 1 in 333 vs 1 in 11,000. The difference between 160 and 180 is trivial, 1 in 11,000 vs 1 in 3,500,000. There‘s uncommon and then there’s rare. More rare than rare is not meaningful.

When it was first created, it was defined as the ratio of mental age (MA) to chronological age (CA) multiplied by 100 (thus IQ = MA/CA x 100). For example, if a 20 year old answers the questions like a “typical” or “average” 20 year old would, the person would have an IQ of 100 (20/20 x 100 = 100). More recently psychologists decided that it’s better look at relative IQ score – how a person scores relative to other people the same age. Now people get assigned an average score of 100 and then we compare their actual scores on the series of intelligence tests to this average score in terms of a standard deviation. For example, if you score 2 standard deviations above the mean (mean being 100), then you would score a 130 since each standard deviation is 15 points (that’s just the formula used).”

      Children are measured differently than adults. Intelligence and IQ are not necessarily the same. An IQ test is a tool; a means of measuring the intangible; the resulting number can only be as accurate as the test is in measuring (think of surveys as an example) IMHO there is no test yet invented that is capable of measuring the complete package of intelligence.

      …a paper bag and people who did not finish high-school but started their own businesses and became millionaires.

      One of the definitions of intelligence as outlined in psychology is the ability of an individual to adapt to an environment that is irrelevant to previous experience or knowlege. In other words, if someone was raised in a house with no media or information and had never set foot outdoors, suddenly found themselves in the middle of the Rocky Mountains how quickly do they learn to survive in that environment? This makes true intelligence virtually impossible to “test” accurately as previous experience and knowledge are individualized.

      @ Hi:
      Actually, if your children continue to learn more than their average cohort and at an accelerated rate, then their IQs WILL, of necessity and by the very definition of IQ, increase. If they know 20% more than their cohort at 12, their 12 year old IQ will be 120. If they know 30% more than their cohort at age 18, their 18 year old IQ will be 130. If they know 40% more than their cohort at age 25, then their 25 year old IQ will be 140.

      No one ever said IQ was designed or intended to be a fixed value throughout life.

      Take Michio Kaku or Neil deGrasse Tyson and lock him in a closet for 20 years giving him only the minimal necessary nutrition and no intellectual stimulation whatsoever, he’ll come out dumber than a box of rocks. Lock them in that closet TOGETHER and they’ll come out with the cure for cancer and an end to aging, because they would continue to intellectually stimulate one another and their minds would stay sharp, if not, as I am implying, get even sharper.

    I visited a Mensa group once and was not impressed with how smart the members were, but at how much they tried to act smart.

    Have we reached a threshold in societal evolution where there is no longer self-identity? Why do we have to compare an individual to another individual? Why? Will somebody please tell me! It doesn’t make sense!

    My Dad’s IQ was 160. He died at age 44.

    I have a friend whose IQ is 170. She is quite insecure and not at all a happy person, though honest and sweet as can be.

    Hope this child bucks the odds. Happiness and tested intelligence are inversely related. Happiest are firemen who really don’t worry about the mundane at all. Wife has an ulcer ’cause she alone frets about the late house payment while Buster is out with his side romance, carefree.

    Hope this child bucks the odds.

    Einstein didn’t make weapons. Openhiemer did. But she will end up going to college, that is where they will lobotomize her. Make her a good little liberal. I bet they set her on the issue of proving global warming.

      True, however without him it would not have happened.
      On the eve of World War II, he helped alert President Franklin D. Roosevelt that Germany might be developing an atomic weapon, and recommended that the U.S. begin similar research; this eventually led to what would become the Manhattan Project.

    She won’t be another Einstein unless the government shuttles her off to a lab somewhere and commits her life to making a new weapon of mass destruction.
