When a child shows signs of giftedness, parents should not hesitate to find out what types of talents their son or daughter possesses. Strong results on an IQ test for kids may even provide youths with some direction.

At the age of 13, Neha Ramu does not need direction. However, the young genius' outlook on life has certainly changed since a Mensa assessment revealed she had an IQ of 162, which is higher than that of theoretical physicist Albert Einstein, Knowledge@Wharton High School reported. This prompted the London resident to read Einstein's biography, learn about him and see how she compares.

"He changed the world with his theories," Neha told the news source. "I never thought about being smarter than Einstein; I know I am not."

Although humble, Neha has accomplished a lot at a very young age. Aside from a high IQ score, the 13-year-old earned a score of 740 out of 800 on the SAT's math section, according to The Telegraph. A score that high should come in handy when Neha follows in the footsteps of her parents and pursues a career in medicine, as she has her sights set on attending the exclusive Harvard University.
