She says that she always believed that there was something extraordinary going on about Ramarni. By the age of 18-months, when most children are still trying to get better on their footing, Wilfred used to discuss news with his mother. At that time his favorite book was Encyclopedia. She recalled, “He was quite young when he started talking clearly and as soon as he started walking he would go looking for books.” Two years ago Ramarni with his family, comprising of a mother and an older sister, moved to Romford. Ramarni had already mastered his reading, spelling, and writing skills by the time he started reception. His teachers considered moving him straight into Year 1. But Anthea protested saying that she wanted Ramarni to grow up with kids his age. The Path Towards Success Soon afterwards by the age of 10, the brainy boy was enrolled in the gifted and talented program at St. Anthony’s Primary school in Upton Avenue, Forest Gate. He was recruited by The Brilliant Club, a non-profit organization that selects brilliant students from non-selective state schools. Being tutored by a PhD lecturer, as part of the scheme, Ramarni wrote a paper on fairness which earned him a 2:1 and a mock Oxford graduation. This is when Ramarni was invited to take an IQ test at Birbeck University. He was more than surprised to learn that he had scored 162, he exclaimed, “I was the youngest person there and some people looked in their 40’s!” An IQ, intelligent quotient, is basically a score derived from one of the standardized tests that are designed to assess intelligence.
