- Haryz Naim scored 142 on his IQ test, putting him in the top 0.3 per cent of the population
- By the time he was in nursery, he could read his own favourite storybooks, says his mother
Haryz Nadzim Mohd Hilmy Naim, who is living in Britain with his parents, was accepted into Mensa UK after scoring 142 on the Stanford Binet test, a cognitive ability assessment used to measure IQ, or intelligence quotient.
His score puts him in the top 0.3 per cent of the population, according to a report by Metro UK.
His parents Anira Asyikin and Mohd Hilmy Naim, both of whom have engineering backgrounds, never expected their son to show signs of such incredible intellect.
“We didn’t have much experience, so we just thought that’s how kids were,” Anira was quoted as saying by Metro.co.uk.
“It was only when he started going to nursery, we were told he is more advanced than other children, then we realised he was special. By the time he was in nursery, he could read the whole of some of his favourite storybooks,” she said.
