youngest female Mensa member

<p>This is interesting, and I agree that she is a sharp cookie- but is that IQ really so unusual?
( D was tested at an older age- with a higher IQ- never contacted Mensa however- we aren’t club joiners) </p>

<p>It’s unusual enough that only 0.2% of the population score higher.</p>

<p>Yes I do remember the report saying something like that, but it didn’t really mean anything to me.</p>

<p>But how many people are ever going to be tested?
D was only tested because she was enrolled in a study because of circumstances surrounding her hospital stay ( as did her sister)- otherwise it involves so much long expensive testing that I don’t think most parents are going to even think of it.</p>

<p>It might explain why she got so much financial aid to attend private school though.</p>

"In one test I asked her to draw a circle and she did it so perfectly.</p>

<p>"Most adults would struggle to do that. Her circle was near to being perfect.</p>

<p>“It shows she can physically hold a pen well but also that she understands the concept of a circle.”</p>

<p>Georgia, who is at nursery school, was also able to tell the difference between pink and purple - a skill which most children learn at primary school age.

Well, I guess we should all mark our calendars for 2025 or so - I guess it will take her that long to cure cancer, discover a source of abundant, free, non-polluting energy, stop global warming, etc. - right? In the meantime I guess we’ll have to muddle along as best we can without her help…</p>

<p>Oh, wait. According to this site: <a href=“http://www.thethousand.com/iqselect.html[/url]”>http://www.thethousand.com/iqselect.html&lt;/a&gt; that “top .2%” of the population only equates to a 1420 SAT or 33 ACT score. I bet we have a few hundred of those posting on CC in a given week, don’t you think?</p>

<p>Never mind.</p>

<p>She’s really cute. I find a lot of testing kind of sketchy (for example ALbert Einstein probably wouldn’t have tested very high, given the details of his early life) but from the details given she’s obviously well above average for a toddler, would be well above average even if she was older. It is fairly remarkable IMO for a two year old to be able to draw a competent circle, her physical skills are at least advanced.</p>
