London, Mar 5 : A 12-year-old Indian girl has stunned everyone after she was revealed to have an IQ higher than Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.
Neha Ramu achieved a score of 162 on a Mensa IQ test - the highest score possible, the Telegraph reported.
Despite her young age, the score
puts her in the top one percent of brightest people in the UK, which
means she is more intelligent than Hawking, Bill Gates and even Einstein, who are all thought to have an IQ of 160.
Ramu's doctor parents, who lived in India before moving to Britain
when their daughter was seven, had no idea their daughter was so gifted.
Although she had always performed
well at school, it was only when she took an entrance exam for Tiffin
Girls', a high-achieving grammar school, and achieved a perfect score of 280/280 that they realised her capabilities.
Two years later, she took the test for Mensa, a society for people
with high IQs, and achieved the maximum possible score for someone aged
under 18.
"I am so proud of her. Although she's being doing well at these kind
of tests for sometime now this is just marvellous. I can't express the
feeling," Neha's mother Jayashree said.
The score would be sufficient to get her into any Ivy League university.
