Eve Wedderburn, from Fife, was asked to sit in an official test after scoring 160 in a Mensa test in a tin she was given as a Christmas present.
The results placed her alongside Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates and even Einstein, who are all thought to have an IQ of 160.
"I got the test in a tin for my Christmas and got quite a good result from that. Parts of the main exam were quite tricky, such as the picture tests, but some parts I did find easy," Eve said.
Eve admitted she was shocked to hear that she had been compared to a genius like Einstein.
"I didn't think I would do so well and just thought I would do okay, so I was quite amazed when I heard that I had been compared to someone like Albert Einstein," she said.
"I've not really decided what I want to do in the future, but I know I would like to go to university," she said.
