Midlands' lawyer, Dean Parnell, partner at law firm Sydney Mitchell is extremely proud of his daughter Cerys' achievements in a recent Mensa test. Her initial aim was to beat her Dad’s score of 142 (who is already a member of Mensa).  However, she not only beat Dean’s score, she also achieved the top possible IQ score (in this particular IQ test) of 162 which the national press has suggested is higher than the IQs of Albert Einstein and Professor Stephen Hawkins and which places Cerys in the top 0.025% of the country. (See press coverage links below)

Dean Parnell commented:

"Cerys has always been a bright and studious child but we were all surprised with her Mensa score of 162.  What is particularly pleasing is that despite her very high IQ she is still a normal 11 year old who likes fashion, annoying her brother and texting her friends.  However, we now need to reflect on how we can work with Cerys to enable her to reach her full potential, although it is still very important to us that Cerys continues to have a happy and enjoyable childhood."
