Krish,11, was the first to be accepted after scoring 162 - the highest score in a Mensa Supervised IQ Test session, placing him in the top 0.26 per cent of children with high IQ.
London:A pair of British Indian twins have been admitted to the elite Mensa membership club of children with a high intelligence quotient (IQ) after clearing a tough set of challenges to score in the top percentile.
Krish,11, was the first to be accepted after scoring 162 - the highest score in a Mensa Supervised IQ Test session, placing him in the top 0.26 per cent of children with high IQ.
His sister Keira recently followed soon after with a score of 152 on the Cattell III B scale, placing her in the top 2 per cent.
"They are very competitive, and Keira was inspired to give the Mensa test due to Krish," said mother Mauli Arora, a Delhi-born senior IT manager who studied computer engineering in Pune.
"Our parenting style is very hands-on and we are actively involved with them on a day-to-day basis. Krish takes private piano lessons and also learns robotics on the weekends. Keira writes poetry and loves creative writing," she said.
The non-identical twins, who do "fight a lot" like any other siblings, share a strong bond and often gang up against their parents if they try to intervene in their quarrels.
