Girl, 2, becomes member of Mensa


A two-year-old girl from Hampshire has become the youngest ever female member of British Mensa.
Georgia Brown, from Aldershot, Hampshire, astounded experts by scoring 152 in an IQ test - putting her in the top 2% of the population for her age.

Psychologist Joan Freeman, who tested Georgia, said she thought the toddler could have scored even higher but needed a nap after 45 minutes of work.

Georgia's mother, Lucy, said: "It's fantastic. We're so proud as a family."

I had come unexpectedly into the presence of something rather special

Prof Joan Freeman

She had spotted that her daughter was a strikingly quick learner.

Georgia was crawling at five months, walking at nine months and, by 18 months, was having proper conversations.

The Brown family called in Prof Freeman, from Middlesex University, to test her IQ level in relation to others of her age.

Prof Freeman said she used the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale test and was "elated" by what she found.

She told the BBC: "She is two years, nine months - not very much older than a toddler really - and she is able to answer questions five and six-year-olds can't.

"The test uses questions like 'If brother is to boy, then sister is to ...?'. If you take a normal two-year-old, they cannot hold a pencil, they don't know the colours and they would not be able to answer those simple questions.

'Amazing' concentration

"The thing I found most striking was the copying of a circle. Most two-year-olds cannot do that but she drew a perfect one.

"I was quite elated - I had come unexpectedly into the presence of something rather special.

"She scored 152 points but I think she could have got more - she just got very tired. Concentrating for three-quarters-of-an-hour at that young age is amazing."

Mensa confirmed Georgia was their youngest member at the moment and the youngest female member ever.

The youngest ever member was a boy, who was several days younger than Georgia when he joined in the 1990s.

Sweet. Now she can become socially awkward while still in diapers.

Exactly what I was thinking.

I STILL DONT GET IT!

Then you, my friend, are not mensa-worthy.

oh ok that is smiple

Agreed. Hahaha

Not my falut i am "slow"

Yeah, but her IQ is 152, a normal IQ for an adult is just above 100.
And she is 2 years old..

THIS IS FUCKING RIDICULOUS.

The youngest ever member was a boy, who was several days younger than Georgia when he joined in the 1990s.


hahaha of course a guy is the youngest person to join mensa duh.

That means that hers mind are on the level of a little more then 3 years old child in the moment actually.

So this "Mensa" is basically a bunch of smarty pantsed losers who discuss stock markets and how they like their tea and biscuits everyday? No thanks.

Yes, I think that's pretty much everything.

IQ tests take age into account though. Say a 20 year old and a 15 year old get the same score: The 15 year old's IQ would be higher.

Yeah and you have to be extremely smart to get in.

Depends on the IQ test.

Mensa is a slang word for "Stupid" here LOLOLOL D:

sounds a little....fishy to me.

i really doubt that someone that doesnt know how to wipe their ass can be smarter than most adults

Oh my freakin God. But what if she has a brain meltdown as she gets older? Then she won't be a genius anymore.

HOLY SHIT

wow I don't get it.

wow

So basically they're a cult.

Basically..

Wow thats pretty amazing.

Oh my :פ

She's doomed

Next thing they know, their daughter will be moving away at the age of 4 to Mensa's commune (laboratory.)

she's only two?!?!

Not that part was a lie... The article lied to you.

Why, you should be in Mensa too.

Lmao @ Leepay.

I wonder if she will stay smart. If so she could become someone really influential to the world if she keeps learning.

Or she'll get hooked on World of Warcraft 5 and contribute absolutely nothing to society.

To be more percise, an IQ of 150, which is number required to be a "Certified Genius." Mense sucks, not for the fact it is all Genius' but because it costs 53 U.S.D. , lame.

I used to be in Mensa... but then it got boring so I left.

It was jut me and a bunch of "intellectuals" discussing how much better we were than everyone else.

Why?

I mean what can a two year old girl do for them?

concubine

Two words: poster-child.

Youngest here, and youngest there.

Soon we will have the youngest child ever born!

They probably cheated...

"If you think this is the answer, act like a toddler."

"OMFGZORZZ She's the ONE!"

lololololollo

It's short for menstruation.

is mensa one of those cults that trick you into giving them your money and house and all personal belongings
