A 12 year old Indian origin girl in the U.K has stunned
everyone after she scored an incredible 162 in her IQ test, the score even
higher than Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.
Neha Ramu, daughter of an Indian doctor couple, achieved
a score of 162 on a Mensa IQ test, the highest score possible for her age.
The score puts the teen in the top 1 per cent of the
brightest people in the U.K. and means that she is more intelligent than
physicist Hawking, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and scientist Einstein, who are
all thought to have an IQ of 160.
Neha scored 162 on the Cattell IIIB test and putting her
within the top 1% of people in the country according to the British Mensa..
She took the test for Mensa, a society for people with
high IQs, and achieved a perfect score of 280/280; it’s the maximum possible
score for someone under the age of 18.
“I am so proud of her. Although she’s been doing well at
these kinds of tests for some time now, this is just marvellous. I can’t
express the feeling,” her mother Jayashree said.
“I’m really, really happy because I found the test quite
hard and I wasn’t really holding out much hope that I’d be a member of Mensa,”
Neha said.
