She is also ahead of Hawking and others
Is it a proof that the IQ system is useless?
Can a 12 year old really be smarter than men who have revolutionize the world?
IQ is supposed to represent raw cognitive ability.
A person's IQ remains largely the same throughout their entire life.
Since the girl has scored incredibly high on the IQ test, she has shown that has incredibly large potential to rapidly understand new concepts and ideas.
Basically, her high score on the IQ test shows that she has the potential to be an incredibly smart person, if she puts forth the effort to absorb from the pools of knowledge that exist in the world.
On the other hand, IQ tests are largely irrelevant to a person's ability to have novel ideas.
Also, a lot of people have been smarter than Einstein throughout history. It's Einsteins raw intelligence combined with his creativity, perseverance, and work ethic that allowed him to become a figure in the scientific community.
