Scoring a high IQ of 162, has made him part of UK’s 1%.
Anthea, Wilfred’s mother, had always believed that her son has an extraordinary ability. At an age when his peers were beginning to form their first words and take their first steps, Wilfred was already reading an encyclopedia and discussing the news with his mother.
Two years ago, when Wilfred and his family moved to Romford, he had perfected his writing, reading and spelling skills. Although, Wilfred could have been promoted to an advanced class, his mother refused as she wanted him to grow up with his peers.
When he was 10, Wilfred was recruited by The Brilliant Club to join the gifted and talented program at St. Anthony’s school in Forest Gate. After been tutored by a lecturer with a PhD, he wrote an essay that got him a 2:1 grade and had a mock Oxford graduation. He was then asked to take the IQ test in Birbeck University. On learning that his score was 162, he was deeply astonished, given the calibre of people he had taken the test with.
