6-Year-Old Black Girl From New Jersey Scores 138 on IQ Test, Same as Einstein

Declan Lopez is an outstanding and phenomenal six-year-old African American from Dover, New Jersey, who shockingly made waves in America with her Mensa membership and an impressive IQ of 138, nearly as high and equivalent to Einstein.

Declan, the child prodigy is currently a kindergartener at her elementary school and has joined the ranks of Mensa, a society created for geniuses and brilliant minds.

“I’m interested in arts, science, maths, and geography,” said Declan, who is already reading at a third or fourth-grade level and enjoys learning physics, according to ABC7.

Lopez’s intelligence and exceptional brilliance came to the notice of her parents at just 18 months old. During an airport trip, she casually started counting in Mandarin.

Nevertheless, her parents are dedicated to maintaining her brilliance while enjoying the normalcy of childhood.

“I want her to laugh and joke and make mistakes and do things that 6-year-olds do,” her mother Meachel stated.

Beyond raising an extraordinary daughter, the Lopez family is exploring whether brilliance runs in their DNA, as her little brother Maddox shows promising signs of following in his sister’s footsteps.

The parents say that Google and Alexa have become their family’s best friends, helping them keep up with their kids’ insatiable curiosity and knowledge that sometimes surpasses their own.
