Kashmea Wahi, an 11-year-old student from the UK, just earned a place
among the world’s intellectual 1 percent by getting a perfect score on
her IQ test. The test’s maximum score is 161 for adults and 162 for
test-takers below the age of 18. To make her achievement even more
impressive, her score of 162 puts her two points higher than the likes
of Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein.
After stumbling upon the Mensa test while surfing on her iPad, Wahi
decided to test herself as a way of proving a point to her parents, both
IT management consultants at the Deutsche Bank in London. She figured
an impressive score might be an effective way to stop her parents from
nagging her to study.
Wahi is currently a student at West London’s Notting Hill and Ealing
Junior School, where she helped her team secure third place at last
year’s Oxford Maths challenge. She plays chess amongst other hobbies
and has competed on the national level. She is thought to be one of the
youngest test takers ever to achieve a perfect score, partly because
participants have to be at least 10 and a half to take it.
