Back in the day if someone said to you, "Who are you, Albert Einstein?" it was them basically calling you a smartass, but today, it doesn't hold as much water because 12-year-old Lydia Sebastian has reportedly received a higher score on an IQ test than both Einstein and Stephen Hawking.
It's being reported that Sebastian received the highest possible score on a Mensa IQ test, scoring 162, which is reportedly higher than both Einstein and Hawking. India Today reports that the Essex native has now joined the 1% of people who have the highest score.
"At first, I was really nervous but once I started, it was much easier than I expected it to be and then I relaxed," Sebastian said of the test. The young genius was tested on language, analogies, definitions and "her sense of logic."

Arun Sebastian, Lydia's father who works as a radiologist at Colchester General Hospital, told reporters that his daughter had looked at various sites in the past in search of an IQ test. Over time she had "shown an interest in them" and begged her parents to take one.
Sebastian reportedly began talking at just six-months old and even started reading early on.
So, the next time someone asks if you're Albert Einstein: a) stop hanging out with them because that's an incredibly dumb phrase, and b) let them know that they're not only dated but also ignorant because they don't read the news.
The new phrase should be, "Who are you, Lydia Sebastian?" Even still, it's probably best that doesn't become a thing.
It seems this Epic Rap Battle deserves a new contestant, huh?
