    Four-year old BOY gets into MENSA

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main...26/ixhome.html

    Boy of four passes test for Mensa

    Matthew Harrison is the newest member of Mensa. At the age of four, he is also the youngest.

    Matthew, who had a vocabulary of 70 words by his first birthday and is learning Spanish, qualified by passing tests that, under a sliding scale, gave him an equivalent IQ in excess of 148. The average IQ is 100.

    The GFY average is (judging by the posters' attitudes) 300

      How would they use a sliding scale, considering that not many 4-yr. olds have taken the test?

          I didn't know they used a sliding scale for children. I scored 142 when I was 15 on an IQ test at my counselor's office.

                  Wherever you live must have ONE HELL of a HeadStart program giving 4 year old kids IQs of over 140. Tax Dollars finally paid off

                    Mozart, I believe, wrote his first symphony before he was 10 years old. Lots of bright kids out there.

                      Ehm... there is nothing unusual about his test results. The test results are generally adjusted for age, and your IQ is supposed to be independant of age (unless it is being measured in a study comparing intelligence in different age groups).

                      The only unusual thing here is that Mensa let the kid join.

                        LMAO

                        that's funny

                        I'd understand if it was about a girl, then he could capitalize the word GIRL

                          I still think that it's unusual for a BOY to get into Mensa (boy = under 18)

                                    It begs to be said, but I've met many adults who cannot do that as well. And they're not considered "special" (short bus), either.

                                    That is pretty amazing at that age, however.

                                                  I don't see how that's particularly interesting. My IQ as a four year old, as estimated on the Binet scale, was 175. Of course, it normalizes to a true average as you get older.

                                                      IQ= mental age/actual age; an IQ of 148 at the age of 4 simply indicates that he has the mental skills of an average 6-year-old.

                                                      Mensa's only requirement for membership is an IQ score in the 98th percentile or higher; age, sex, gender, religion, and D&D alignment (lawful good, neutral, chaotic evil) are irrelevent.

                                                      I've been to a few meetings; it was a lot of fun.
