Neha Ramu is now considered as one of UK's brightest people after her Mensa IQ test score revealed she has an IQ of 162, surpassing that of Professor Stephen Hawking, who has a reported IQ of at least 160.

Although she is proud of her achievements and extraordinary gift, Ramu said she doesn't want to be compared to the great geniuses that came before her, adding that they have already done so much for the world and she doesn't want to be in line with them just because of the score she got.

Ramu's mother Jayashree said that despite the youngster's high interest in chess and reading, she doesn't neglect the other aspects of her life and still finds time to enjoy her teenage years by going out with friends and doing what girls her age does. She also watches tv and goes swimming during her leisure time.

In the near future, Ramu dreams to be able to study at the famous Harvard University and focus her studies on Neurology.

Ramu moved from Bangalore, India to Surbiton, a suburb in south-west London about five years ago.
