Updated



Nicole Barr -- a 12-year-old girl from the UK -- received a perfect IQ score of 162 on an IQ test she took recently. The most incredible part of it all? She scored two points higher than Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.

Nicole is a part of a traveling gypsy community in Harlow, Essex, and she is now considered to be in the top one percent of the world's most intelligent people. Her dad James refers to her achievement as "the talk of the gypsy community."

Although her parents weren't surprised, Nicole admitted that she was:

In fact, her mother Dolly said that Nicole has been "picking out mistakes in books and magazines" from a young age.

Now, that's impressive.
