11 year old gets MENSA's highest score

Anyone else anticipated non British when they read "woman from London"?

congrats to the winners ...

Doesn't mean she'll amount to shit. Sorry for busting up the circlejerk.

Good for her

I'm sure she is smart, but it was their APP and not a real test. The APP is designed to make people buy the real test and get free PR to Mensa. I scores 132 on their app a while ago, and I know for a FACT I have an average IQ.

Not just anticipated, but 100% expected it!

Saw a show about london the other day and they are asking these people who arrived a few weeks ago and couldn't speak any English (Via a translator) what the liked about London. They replied that it was wonderful because everyone who lives there comes from someone else and it doesn't matter if you cant speak English...

I give up to be honest. When I used to go to London in the late 90s a lot, I really loved it and would have given my left nut to live there. These days you couldn't pay me enough money to even make me want to visit...

I would say it depends on the area. Hornchurch and Datchet are two areas I visit almost every month, since that is where CA have their training and two of my costomers have HQ there. Those areas have mostly anglo saxon blood.

People take if for being racist, when I comment on the culture of London have changed. 10-15 years ago I would have like to visit there on vacation, but not anymore. Its either middle East/African/Asian or EddyTheDog culture. And I'm not a fan of either. I dont care what religion or race people have, but their culture/behavior is not compatible with mine - So I stay away.

Several Places they have removed the art/historic symbols in public Places, to be more Political Correct. It's really sad that a nation that used to be so proud, have completely sold out.

You can thank that old whore QE II for this fucked up mess the UK is in these days.

First of all, as someone noted already, lots of people score high. Search, and you'll find that 1% of the under 18 people score 162. The complete article says that 2 schoolgirls, both indian born, scored 162 in the same test took by more than 200 people (a whole school), which is within statistics and nothing exceptional:

London schoolgirls score higher IQ than Einstein and Hawking | Education News | News | The Independent
Top Mensa score has girls ?buzzing?

Here, indian journalists spread this info in India as motivational nationalist propaganda, because these was 2 indian born girls. Some been so sly to talk of 1 girl only, because 2 girls was letting guess this is just 1 every 100 kids, so million kids score 162. The fact that Einstein is "believed" to score 160, simply shows that such test had nothing to do with Einstein, which is not 1% occurring, but 1 every several million. Example of indian TV inteview below:



If you search even better, you see the whole story is that the school of these 2 girls, full of indian and pakistani natives, had 56 kids enter mensa (2% of people normally):

School gets record number into Mensa - BBC News

Here you read: "Since 2011, Mensa has tested 7,476 pupils through the schools programme and 2,026 have been invited to join as a result. That means around 27% of candidates put forward have been invited to join the society. Around half of adults who apply to join Mensa get in.".

Now I wonder, if there are 100 times more MENSA members than normal scientists, how anyone serious can claim a mensa membership has anything to do (comparing with) exceptional scientist as Einstein?

In fact, many pass the MENSA online tests (much like 27% of the kids of the london school, nothing exceptional), but they don't join the club since they are smarter than those boosting MENSA certificate, I know a few and I can tell some are idiots (suggestion for MENSA: there should be also a banning procedure... yes you do have idiots who passed test and boost MENSA certification).

PS: Let me be evil, but, solving mensa test is a specific skill you can train, like solving riddle and puzzles. I mean, you can train kids for months in solving riddles similar to the mensa ones, perhaps with the free or past tests online or in cell phones, that could be a secret strategy of that one school, in order to boost the number of students that pass the mensa test.

That bitch is being set up for a life of disappointment and will probably end up being the biggest slut in her high school and end up doing porn.

Check back in 7 years...

Awesome, good for her!

Good find.

What is your I.Q.?
"I have no idea. People who boast about their I.Q. are losers."
â?? To the New York Times, December 2004

So we have news headlines: "12-Year-Old Girl Beats Einstein And Hawkings Test Scores" where we do not know Hawkings IQ since he does not know either and does not bore to know or even would not tell if he knew. Still, the journalist know the girl beats Hawkings.

By the way that was 50 kids who "beat Hawkings" in UK, each made news alone:

Lydia Sebastian, 12:
12-year-old aces Mensa IQ Test, beating scores of Einstein and Hawking

So you can now find articles about dozens of 11,12 year old UK girls, mostly indian and pakistani, who beat Einstein, all comes from the batch of 50 from that one school, taken separately.

Some journalist is a little honest (i.e. doing his job rather then copy paste shit):
Is This 12-Year-Old Girl Really Smarter Than Einstein? | IFLScience

1) Kids alwaysz beat 18+ guys by design, it's different tests with different max score: "considering that the highest possible score for younger participants on this particular test is 162, whereas their older counterparts can only get a maximum of 161, it seems a little unfair, to say the least."

2) before comparing someoneâ??s IQ with Einstein's: he never actually took the test. And... same goes with Hawkings.

Further, the IQ test gives a single number, but long ago science defined 8 or more intelligencies. IQ tests only measure linguistic, logical-mathematical and some spatial abilities. Sport champions will seem idiots, big communicator and politicians may result idiots (some are), musicians may not be recognised, as well as spiritual leaders etc.

.. in fact regarding Einstein, he was not widely intelligent, he missed the husband intelligence for sure:

Following a written conditions list Einstein mandated to his wife:

You will make sure:
that my clothes and laundry are kept in good order;
that I will receive my three meals regularly in my room;
that my bedroom and study are kept neat, and especially that my desk is left for my use only.
You will renounce all personal relations with me insofar as they are not completely necessary for social reasons. Specifically, You will forego:
my sitting at home with you;
my going out or travelling with you.
You will obey the following points in your relations with me:
you will not expect any intimacy from me, nor will you reproach me in any way;
you will stop talking to me if I request it;
you will leave my bedroom or study immediately without protest if I request it.
You will undertake not to belittle me in front of our children, either through words or behavior.

So most GFY members would be geniuses?
