A south-west London schoolgirl has joined Mensa with a perfect score.
Neha Ramu, 13, of Surbiton, scored 162 in the high IQ society's test, which puts her in the top 1% of the UK's brightest people. A score above 140 is considered to be that of a genius. The teenager moved to the UK from Bangalore when she was seven.
She said the Indian education system helped give her the best start but she prefers school life in the UK. Her parents, both eye doctors, knew their daughter was clever but had no idea exactly how intelligent she was until she scored the maximum marks in her entrance exams for school.
According to Mensa, the average adult IQ score is 100.
