A ten year old from The Swaminarayan Prep School has a higher IQ than Stephen Hawking or Albert Einstein.
Vedaangh Rungta at the age of 10 has scored 162 marks (Top 1%) in the MENSA examination thereby becoming one of the youngest people in the world to achieve this remarkable success.
Mensa was founded in England in 1946 by Roland Berril, a barrister, and Dr Lance Ware, a scientist and lawyer. They had the idea of forming a society for bright people, the only qualification for members of which was a high IQ. The original aims were, as they are today, to create a society that is non-political and free from all racial or religious distinctions. British Mensa has more than 20,000 members from all walks of life with IQs in the top 2%.
Although his IQ score is higher than famous personalities like Stephen Hawkins and Albert Einstein; he understands that there is still a long journey for him to fill in the shoes of these great personalities.
Vedaangh will be going to Queen Elizabeth School (boys) in Barnet from Year 7. He founded the school LEGO club and currently manages it, loves LEGO EV3 robotics, making animation movies, doing product reviews on YouTube, playing chess and swimming.
