Anala Beevers is 4 and smarter than you.
Anala who learned the alphabet when she was only 4 months old, her parents say has an IQ over 145. The New Orleans toddler recently was invited to join Mensa, the high-IQ society for people who score at the 98th percentile or higher on the standardized intelligence test. Anala is in the 99th percentile.
Anala loves geography, knows the location of every U.S. state and the names of their capitals. She even carries a map of America everywhere she goes.

Isn’t this the kind of kid who will grow up and build satellites and space craft?

Idiot Father says she needs a reality show. Good idea...BONEHEAD! Let’s not help her get an education and just let her be an active, happy little girl. Typical. Jerk wants to capitalize on her. The reality show will happen by the way.

That’s a really bad idea. Ic she’s this bright, she is almost guaranteed herself a free education on scholarships alone.
There is no need to do this.

145 is bright but no phenom. She’s more precocious than anything else.

Mensa, the high-IQ society for people who feel the need to belong to a self admiration society that pats themselves on their backs because they think they are so smart.

We should all take IQ tests. They used to be given in schools back in the 50’s, 60’s and part of the 70’s. Mine was 136 in HS, and several years later was still at 136 in the military. Then at the beginning of the modern Internet, I took an on-line test and was still at 136..........

Wow - one hundred points higher than the average Dummocrat.

I’ve noticed the smartest people on FR never post their IQ scores on these threads. Some others do.

Didn’t you wonder why they haven’t fixed that test after all those years?
To: Darteaus94025
Nah, I’ve read that your true IQ changes very little over time and it seems to be true, at least in my case..............

I’m glad to hear that the IQ test ‘indicates a person’s mental abilities relative to others of approximately the same age’ because I was thinking can this four year actually be smarter than me, a 42 year old, lol.

I only have one little problem with this. Having a great memory, as she apparently does, is not the same thing as being able to put those disparate pieces of knowledge into unique new arrangements, to recognize complex patterns that others do not see.
I have never seen anything about how good Einstein's memory was. Did he know all fifty states and their capitals? I don't know. But he had the ability to detect patterns that others did not. Memory and intelligence are not synonymous.

If she can fold that map, it puts her way ahead of a whole lot of folks...
