London, U.K. (AHN) - A two-year-old girl has become one of the smartest girls in the U.K. after her IQ was measured at 160, the same as that of physics professor Stephen Hawking and Microsoft founder Bill Gates.

Karina Oakley of Guildford, Surrey near London made the score in the Stanford-Binet IQ test administered by child psychologist Prof. Joan Freeman. Part of the test is answering questions and the tot gave imaginative answers.

Let us hope she does not have pushy parents and is allowed to have a normal childhood.

Did anyone read the article, and see her answers? It reminds me of the tv show, Kids Say the Darnedest Things. How can one quantify the IQ of a two year old anyway. I'm calling bull on this one. Cute answers though.

Heh heh, typical Guildford behaviour

Seriously though, I hope this little girl isn't pushed into doing things too early and is allowed to live a somewhat normal life. Hopefully her talents, whatever they may be once she's old enough to start school, are nurtured appropriately.
