Fotoğrafik hafızaya sahip olduğu söylenen çocuk, milyonda bir rastlanacak zekaya sahip. Ailesi Pranav’ın farklılığını, 4 yaşındayken keşfetmiş. Alfabe setleriyle oynarken çocuklarının o yaştaki bir çocuğa göre farklı algılarının olduğunu fark eden aile, Pranav’ın zekasını ölçtürmeye karar vermiş.

Alfabeyi geriye doğru sayabilen ve 2000 yılından bir tarih verildiğinde haftanın hangi günü olduğunu söyleyebilen Pranav ’astronot’ olmak istiyor. Einstein’ın IQ’sünün ise 160 olduğu biliniyor. ABD’nin Ohio Eyaleti’nde 6 yaşındaki Pranav Veera, 176’lık IQ’su ile Albert Einstein’den daha zeki.

Pranav Veera can recite the names of the U.S. presidents in the order they served in office. He can say the alphabet backward. Give him a date back to 2000, and he’ll tell you the day of the week. He’s only 6 years old. At first glance, Pranav is a typical young boy who is highly competitive at playing Wii video games and likes to play outside. A closer look reveals he’s anything but typical. Pranav has an IQ of 176. One person in 1 million has an IQ of 176 or above. Albert Einstein’s IQ was believed to be about 160. The average IQ is 100.

When Pranav was 4-and-a-half, his parents noticed he seemed unusually intelligent while playing with alphabet sets. He could even recall which letters were certain colors. “That kind of puzzled us,” said his father, Prasad Veera. “You have to have not a normal memorization, but some other means of recall.” Now, he loves all kinds of alphabets. “He loves to collect them, like different colors, different sizes, different materials,” said his mother, Suchitra Veera. The Veeras decided to have Pranav tested three months ago at Powers Educational Services in Hyde Park. “I said, ’Let’s try it out, because he seems to do a lot of stuff kind of not quite normal for his age,” his father said. “He tested 176.”

He seems to have a photographic memory, so keeping Pranav engaged and learning is a big challenge for his family. His mother and grandmother, Shanta Sastri, work with him at home. They’re guided by his focus and interests.
