Meet Neha Ramu, the 13-year-old who reached the highest
possible score on the Mensa IQ test -- even higher than Einstein's. In fact, she's
in the top one percent of intelligence ratings among people in the UK,
according to Asian News International.
But don't be too quick to hold her up to other famous
geniuses. She'll be the first to tell you that she doesn't think it's a fair
comparison.
The Huffington Post covered her amazing story in March, and
this week the BBC released an awesome interview with the teen.
"Stephen Hawking and Albert Eistenstein, they've
achieved so much that I couldn't even dream of achieving, so it's not right to
compare me to them just cause of my IQ," Neha told the BBC. "If I
don't put in my effort and make use of my IQ there is no point in having
it."
Neha might be modest about her IQ score of 162 (the average
adult's score is 100) but she isn't shy about her goals. The 13-year-old wants
to study neurology at Harvard University, which doesn't seem all that
impossible considering she already scored 740 out of 800 on a section of the
SAT, according to The Telegraph.
"I don't think I'm ever going to stop learning,"
she said. "I'll always be curious and I'll always be thinking 'I wonder
how that works."
