Albyn pupil joins elite ranks after MENSA acceptance

Emon achieved a remarkable score of 149, a result placing him well above the 98th percentile and qualifying him for membership in the prestigious organisation. For context, to qualify for MENSA you need to score over 132 putting Emon’s intelligence on a par with some of the greatest minds.

“My dad told me about MENSA. We did a test at home initially before being invited to do a supervised exam. I was nervous at first as I got a little confused in the exam but managed to work my way through it,” Emon shared.

According to his teachers, Emon has shown exceptional aptitude for learning since he joined Albyn School in Primary 1. “He has this intense focus and incredible memory. Emon’s talents are far beyond his years,” said Mr Davies, Head of the Lower School.

Emon is the first pupil from the Lower School to be invited to join the elite society and his recent acceptance into MENSA has opened new doors for him, including access to resources, events, and a community of like-minded individuals.

“My dad is really proud of what I’ve achieved and my little brother now wants to follow in my footsteps,” Emon revealed.

Albyn School is committed to nurturing individual talent and fostering a love of learning in all pupils from an early age. The school firmly believes that the teaching methods and support systems in place throughout allow its dedicated teachers to discover, nurture and encourage the potential in every child.
