Girl with IQ of 161: Essex teenager's IQ is higher than Albert Einstein's

• Tweet

A 16-year-old girl from Essex stunned teachers by scoring 161 on her IQ test, more than Bill Gates and even Albert Einstein, SWNS reported.

Lauren Marbe, the teenager who enjoys fake tanning and manicures, is very proud of her high score, especially because it contradicts all the stigmas associated with being blonde.

Marbe is a pupil at Roding Valley High School in Loughton, Essex where she is a straight A and A* student. Though she ultimately dreams of being a performer in the West End, if she decides to go to college after high school, she plans on studying architecture at the University of Cambridge.

The teenage prodigy is also a gifted singer, she performed in the West End for two years as part of the chorus for Andrew Lloyd Webber's smash-hit Joseph.

Her parents, David and Sue Marbe, say they'll support Lauren in whichever path she decides to follow, and take a lot of pride in the fact that their daughter may be able to put an end to the 'blondes are dumb' labels in their community.
