Indian teenager outshone Albert Einstein

15 year old Fabiola Mann, whose mother Rene is from Goa and father Anthony is a Londoner, just did her parents proud. She scored an unbelievable 162 in her Mensa IQ score, beating none o
ther than Albert Einstein, who had scored 160.

The feat puts her among the top 1% intelligent people in the world. She appeared for the test on July 30, representing Northwood College School in the three hour test at the London UCL medical College. She had urged her parents to pay her the fee to sit in the test. The scores came a month later instead of the usual two weeks since the results were lost in transit. This qualifies her as a privileged member of the elite intellectual group. Fabiola is thrilled and wishes to grow up to study medicine and become a surgeon.

Mensa was started in 1946 as a society for intelligent people. Her score of 162 is the highest possible that anyone can achieve. Her mother who moved from Margao (Goa) to London in 1993 says that she had heard about Mensa and the genius IQ level children but was amazed to learn that her daughter is one.
