Indian Origin Fabiola Mann, the Next Gen Einstein

Bangalore: Fabiola Mann, a 15-year-old London teen with Goan roots has beaten Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking with her IQ score. Her Mensa IQ score of 162 has put her in the top 1 percent of world’s intelligent people, two points above the 160 scored by the scientific greats, reported Karsten Miranda for TNN. Mensa was founded in 1946 as a society for intelligent people.

Fabiola said in an email "I had heard about Mensa and so decided to take their test." Being inclined towards puzzles, she begged her parents to apply for the test and paid the fee.

Fabiola was awarded her membership certificate by Mensa in August this year. She says she did not expect the score. She had to wait for a month for her scores instead of the usual two weeks as the results were lost in transit.

She said that "The questions were slightly more confusing (from the practice IQ tests online) and we did not have much time to do them, so I could not really tell how I was doing," as reported by TOI.
