Parents of Oscar Wrigley say his vocabulary is amazing as at the age of 2, he is able to construct complex sentences.

A two-year-old British boy with an IQ of at least 160, equal to that of Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking, is chosen to join the society of geniuses known as Mensa.

John Stevenage, Mensa’s chief executive, confirmed that Tot Oscar Wrigley had been accepted to join the society at the age of two years, five months and 11 days, stressing that he has great potentials.

“He is always asking questions. Every parent likes to think their child was special but we knew there was something particularly remarkable about Oscar,” said Oscar’s father Joe, 29, an IT specialist from Reading in Berkshire.

“I’m fully expecting the day to come when he turns around and tells me I’m an idiot,” Joe told the Daily Mail.

Based on the statement released by the Gifted Children’s Information Centre, Oscar ranks in the 99.99th percentile of the population, making him one of the brightest children in the world.

The center also noted that the gifted child has scored 160, the highest score measured on the Stanford-Binet test, on his IQ test.

His parents say Oscar started talking at nine months, was reciting the alphabet in the bath by 18 months, and by the time he turned two, he had a vocabulary stretching to thousands of words.

Dr. Peter Congdon, who assessed Oscar, also considered him as a “child of very superior intelligence,” adding that he has outstanding abilities regarded as intellectually gifted.
