In reply to the discussion: 4-year-old Anala Beevers Accepted into MENSA with IQ of 145 [View all]My kid was a powerhouse. He shocked me at 15 months reading: H - O - O - V - E - not E standing on the vaccuum cleaner. And looking at the window 2 months later saying: 6 squares. (he just inhaled Sesame Street and "got it"
He entered school reading at 6th grade level and 3rd grade math.
I did not allow his IQ being measured because I was a single Mom and overwhelmed already. I said I needed all my power to discipline him and remain smarter than he.
At age 18 he took a three day Mensa test.
178 was his score. I think this kid is way higher than 145.
Great story - great kid - and if given the proper head start / training / encouragement / a parent at home til age 3 / lack of grave money problems or family drama -------in my opinion our world is full of such children.
