Schoolgirl, 12, has higher IQ than Einstein Neha's mother Jayashree said: "At first I didn't really realise what she was capable of as she wasn't being stretched at school and when she joined primary school in the UK in year three we didn't really understand the system here. But then when she got the result of the entrance exam for Tiffin Girls', I thought 'OK, maybe she does have something special in her and I'm just not realising it. We found out she'd got in yesterday evening when my husband and I were both at work. Neha came home before us and opened the letter because it was addressed to her. She was shouting down the phone: 'I got in, I got in'. 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. Whilst most children spend their summer holidays playing in the park or on their computer, Neha, who is in year eight at Tiffin Girls' School in Kingston- upon- Thames, asked her parents last summer whether she could go to a three-week academic summer camp in America to learn about the brain and the body's nervous system. Neha, who left her home in Surbiton and went to the camp alone, studied for seven hours a day, five days a week dissecting body parts such as the brain and eyes. Both her mother and her father Muniraju are eye specialists and Neha already has plans to follow in their footsteps into a career in medicine. Before that, Neha has already set her sites on a place at Harvard after taking her SATs- the American equivalent of A-levels- and achieving a score of 740 out of 800 in a test designed for 18-year-olds. The score would be sufficient to get her into any Ivy League university. Despite her success Neha, a devoted Harry Potter fan and keen swimmer, said she found the Mensa test "quite hard" and did not expect to get in. She 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. We might have a little party or something sometime soon to celebrate. I haven't told my friends yet but I've told some of my family and they are all very happy for me. Einstein never took an IQ test as none of the modern intelligence tests existed when he was alive, but experts believe he had an IQ of around 160. The IQ test is designed to test a range of abilities to determine the intelligence level of the student. In the UK the average person achieves a score of 100. A spokesman for British Mensa said: "Neha scored 162 on the Cattell IIIB test, putting her within the top one per cent of people in the country."
