Slobodanka Omerović (42), who was born in Smederevska Palanka and has lived in Zenica for years, recently took an IQ test, which officially became a member of Mensa BiH, achieving a result that can only be achieved by 1 percent of the world’s population. This woman from Zenica points out that even as a child she showed talent at school, since everything went her way.
Difficult tasks
– I mastered the material from all subjects with ease. I participated in competitions in physics, mathematics, geography… The only place where I had a problem was physical education – says Omerović.
Since she won first place in all competitions and was among the best at school, everyone considered her a “child prodigy”.
She took her first IQ test at the age of 14, when she was in the first grade of high school. Then she achieved a score of 135, which was also above average. After that, she was no longer tested, but, as she says, she continued to “train” her brain. She read a lot, solved crossword puzzles, difficult tasks and equations, brain teasers…
In the meantime, she graduated from university, is finishing her master’s degree, and works as a lecturer at her foreign language school “Linguateam”. The other day she saw an online IQ test on Facebook.
Mock test
– By chance, a post from Mensa appeared for me to take a trial test. When I finished the test, I got the result that my IQ is between 140 and 160. Immediately after that, I received an invitation to come to Sarajevo for the test. A few days later, I received the results that I achieved an IQ of 156 according to the Katel scale. Being among the 1 percent of people in the world is a special feeling – emphasizes Omerović.
Mensa BiH states that they do not have accurate data on how many above-average intelligent people there are in our country.
A child prodigy
– My parents and friends always said that I was a child prodigy, which meant that I got A’s. It was the same at university, where I got tens, which used to bother me – recalls Omerović.
