Showing Original Post only (View all)4-year-old Anala Beevers Accepted into MENSA with IQ of 145 [View all]
This Black History Month, we'd thought it would be great to highlight some young people who represent an impressive Black future.
Sabrina and Landon Beevers attest that their daughter, Anala, learned the alphabet at only 4 months old, and it's hard to doubt them because Anala has an IQ over 145. The New Orleans toddler was invited to join Mensa, the high-IQ society for people who score at the 98th percentile or higher on the standardized intelligence test last June. Anala is in the 99th percentile.
That was more than half a year ago. Surely, Anala is successfully multiplying fractions by now.

yea...sounds like she is likely higher than 145...probably too hard to really measure a 4 year old.

Yes. Look at her eyes. Maybe it is just my imagination, but she looks really scary smart.

The nicest thing about Mensa is being in a group where you are "normal" at least part-time

I think you mean validation. However, age & chronic depression have ensured I "fit in" wherever.

Are you really willing to speak with authority about this, or are you just sad?

I ain't in MENSA, but I suspect that the comment referred to Ms Beevers' surname.

You hadn't considered the "anal" in Anala? OK, obviously the parents hadn't either.
