A 12-year-old school girl from Cheshire in England has scored higher in an IQ test than theoretical physicist Albert Einstein and well-loved cosmologist Stephen Hawking.
Both Einstein and Hawking have an IQ level of 160.
Raigauri Pawar who is of Indian origin took the British Mensa IQ test in Manchester last month and scored 162 – the highest possible IQ for someone under the age of 18.
According to Mensa, the largest and oldest high IQ society in the world, she is one of only 20,000 people to achieve the score worldwide.
She is now ranked in the top 1% in the world for intelligence.
“I was a little nervous before the test but it was fine and I’m really pleased to have done so well,” Pawar told the Times of India.
Mensa, the network of geniuses, is one of the most exclusive clubs in the world and the only way to join is to score in the top two per cent in its infamous test.
Founded in 1946 in Oxford by Lancelot Lionel Ware and Roland Berrill, its mission is to “identify and foster human intelligence for the benefit of humanity.”
