The result placed him in the gifted category and drew attention for the combination of advanced reading, math, and language proficiency.

Zorien’s score on the Wechsler Intelligence Test for Children was reported by ABC 7 Chicago. According to the report, the boy scored 156 points on a scale of 160, a performance that classified him as gifted.

Zorien’s parents, Naqib and Monirupa, said in a statement obtained by News 5 Chicago that they noticed differences in their son when he began to assimilate new concepts with impressive speed and retain them effortlessly.
They stated that they decided to contact Mensa because they did not want his abilities to go unnoticed or for him to feel out of place.
Family tries to balance talent and childhood
Zorien’s mother, Monirupa Ananya, told ABC 7 that her son enjoys soccer and loves reading books. According to her, the family’s focus has been on understanding what he wants, rather than imposing expectations on him.
