Mensa IQ test & Mahnoor Cheema

 A standardized intelligence exam called the Mensa IQ test is used to find people with high intellect, more precisely those who score in the top 2% of the general population regarding cognitive ability. 

This test is one of the requirements for membership in Mensa, an international organization for people with high IQs.

The Mensa organization was cofounded in Oxford, England, in 1946 by Roland Berrill, a barrister, and Dr. Lance Ware, a scientist and lawyer. 

Mensa, the Latin word for "table," also the organization's name, represents an equal-only discussion at a round table.

They sought to establish a society free from social, political, and religious attachments for those with high IQs. 

Some wellknown people who are known to have met the requirements for Mensa membership include:

Stephen Hawking was a Mensa member and was a well-known theoretical physicist.

Geena Davis is a Mensa member and an Oscar Award-winning actress.

Marilyn Vos Savant is a regular contributor to the "Ask Marilyn" section in "Parade" magazine and holds one of the highest IQ scores ever reported.

Rowan Atkinson is a Mensa member and is best known for playing Mr.

 Bean.

These are just a few examples of Mensa's diverse membership which consists of professionals from a range of industries, including science, the arts, entertainment, academia, and more.

Its important to remember that Mensa membership and the IQ test are just one way to measure intelligence and cognitive abilities. People have different strengths and talents that may not be fully captured by a single test score.

Mensa's requirement for membership is a score at or above the 98th percentile on certain standardized IQ or other approved intelligence tests, such as the Stanford–Binet Intelligence Scales. The minimum accepted score on the Stanford–Binet is 132, while for the Cattell it is 148 and 130 in the Wechsler tests (WAIS, WISC).[14] Most IQ tests are designed to yield a mean score of 100 with a standard deviation of 15; the 98th percentile score under these conditions is 130.8, assuming a normal distribution.

A 16-year-old British-Pakistan girl set a new record by passing 34 subjects at the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) level, the highest ever number of subjects by any student in the history of the UK and EU GCSEs.

The teenager is the daughter of Barrister Usman Cheema, and her mother,  Tayyaba Cheema, who hails from  Lahore city of Pakistan. They settled in the UK in 2006 and their daughter joined Langley Grammar School in West London after her initial education at a private school in her hometown Lahore.

The exceptional Pakistani-origin student has set other records too. Apart from her academia, Mahnoor’s IQ has also been recognized on a global scale, at 161 on the Mensa IQ Test, ahead of Albert Einstein, who is believed to have possessed an IQ of 160. With this, she has earned her place among the top 1 percent of the world’s population for intellectual ability. She has also completed ABRSM Music Theory and Practical in Grade 8, with distinction. She is one of the youngest individuals in the UK to be pursuing a music diploma. She has also been shortlisted in the prestigious John Locke essay competition, with the awards ceremony in Oxford later this year.
