Two-year-old becomes Mensa member | NEWS.com.au Quote:

SHE'S 2 and as clever as world's brainiest man
Her parents knew Georgia Brown was bright. After all, she could count to 10, recognised her colours and was even starting to dabble with French.
It was only when Martin Brown, a self-employed carpenter, and his wife Lucy's bubbly little two-year-old took an IQ test that her towering intellect was confirmed.
Georgia has become the youngest female member of Mensa after scoring a genius-rated IQ of 152.
Up there with Hawking
This puts her in the same intellectual league, proportionate to her age, as physicist Stephen Hawking. According to an expert in gifted children, Georgia is the brightest two-year-old she has ever met.
Georgia was crawling at five months and walking at nine months. By 14 months, she was getting herself dressed.
"She spoke really early - by 18 months she was having proper conversations," Mrs Brown, chief executive of a charity, said. "She would say, 'Hello I'm Georgia, I'm one'. She was putting her shoes on and putting them on the correct feet."
Georgia was so perceptive that after seeing Beauty and the Beast she informed her parents: "I didn't like Gaston (the villain). He was mean and arrogant."
Creative abilities
Educational psychologist Professor Joan Freeman applied the standard Stamford-Binet intelligence scale test to Georgia and was amazed to find this was too limited to map her creative abilities.
To the amazement of the family, who live in Aldershot, Hampshire, Georgia scored 152 points on the IQ test, putting her in the top 0.2 per cent of the population. Those with an average IQ would score about 100 points in the same test.
Georgia was then invited to join Mensa, the High IQ society whose members have IQs in the top 2 per cent of the population. Georgia is one of only 30 Mensa members under the age of 10.

I wonder if something like this screws up someone's emotional development? Will she be more prone to depression? |

| | | I think the tests are age-tailored because I watched a TV programme on something similar recently, these kids of 8 and 9 where getting IQ's or between 139-170. It was insane. |

| | | yeah, it says it in the article its age proportional.
Give the child a few more years, her IQ in proportion to her age will be still high, but not as high I garentee you. When she hits 13/14 will also be interesting when she hits puberty (when language aquisition officially stops I think, even though its at its strongest until age 5/6).
It would be really interesting to chart this child's progress. |

| | | Wait until she's five. She'll get into drugs and throw it all away.
Seriously though, I think that's way too young to determine anything. My sister was just as bright was she was younger; she taught herself how to read when she was two. She's still smart, but I doubt she has a 152 IQ.
