Two-Year-Old Becomes World's Youngest Female Mensa Member

Sat, 2007-06-23 09:18. Georgia Brown has become the youngest female member of Mensa after scoring a genius IQ score of 152 at the tender age of two.

Georgia's parents knew she was a bright child, especially when she could already count to ten, knew her colors, and was even starting to learn some French. Their suspicions were confirmed when they had her take an IQ test.

George was crawling at five months old, and walking at nine months. By 14 months, she was dressing herself, and her parents say that she spoke very early on. By 18 months they say that she was having proper conversations. And when they took her to see the movie "Beauty and the Beast", shockingly, Georgia said "I didn't like Gaston (the villain). He was mean and arrogant."

Her parents always knew she was bright and gifted, and the move evident this became, the more they began to worry about her future education. So, her mother contacted Professor Joan Freeman, a specialist educational psychologist, for advice.

Freeman administered a series of tests to measure Georgia's intelligence, and discovered that the little girl had an IQ of 152. She says that she is by far the brightest 2-year-old she has ever met.

An IQ of 152 puts her in the top .2% of the population, and puts her in the same intellectual league, proportionate to her age, as physicist Stephen Hawking.

Once her IQ was discovered, Georgia was invited to join Mensa. She is now one of only 30 members under the age of 10.

Georgia and her family live in Aldershot, Hampshire, where she is the youngest of five children.

This story worries me a little, there is a chance now that they will always consider her too bright for her age group and so accelerate her learning and she may miss out on a childhood :( we have to remember that however bright she is, she is only 2 years old, let her grow up at her own speed

Yes, mental and emotional capabilities are two different aspects of a personality, she probably is an emotional normal 2 years old.

:(

I feel sorry for this little girl. In the 1970;s I was what was then called a 'gifted child' I could read at 3 and by the time I was 8 the primary school I was at said they had nothing more to offer me.

I was lonely because other kids got sick of being compared to me and I guess I scared them a bit. I was treated by many adults as an adult and not allowed childish behaviour. Being scared for example, I remember being told not to be scared 'you should know better I thought you were intelligent'

crying when I fell over, 'come on clever girls like you dont cry like babies'. But I was just a child.

Luckily ? My brain seemed to slow at age 14 ( all the energy went to my boobs!) and I then had to re-adjust. I have an above avarage IQ but dont openly use it.

People dont like a smart a**.

That sounds a lot like how it was for me. Gifted programs from 2nd to 8th grade and then I had no motivation and started failing things because I just didn't care. Spelling whiz, English nut and everybody's friend at test time. :thinking:
