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.

Can you tie your own shoes?.......
I do. THE ANSWER IS NO........There were only 48 states when Einstein was live......
Wow - one hundred points higher than the average Dummocrat.”
...lol. Actually more like a 149.
if she’s so darn smart, why does she carry a map around?
“Isn’t this the kind of kid who will grow up and build satellites and space craft?”
No. They are paraded around like a circus act by their parents for money, never are allowed to be kids, go to college at 10, become disillusioned 19 year olds, and end up in middle management.
The real geniuses are the ones that can come up with something brilliant from nothing. These kids are just sadly steered to be really good a regurgitating stuffed they learned for the cameras.
Betcha one day she’ll wish she could trade some of those iq points for a different first name. Anala? Really?
135, but I’ve got a bad attitude.
Einstein had a terrible memory when it came to things he placed no importance upon, like changing out of his pajamas and into a suit of clothes before leaving the house, wearing shoes, that sort of mundane thing, lol.
On the other hand, an eidetic memory is an indication of a certain sort of high intelligence, and is usually found among those who are at least “bright,” but memory in and of itself is typically not all that great of an indicator of intelligence, imho.
My 4 year old niece explained to me how ‘her’ iphone works.
My daughter could do that at age 2. As someone above said, that shows she's precocious, but doesn't mean she's another Einstein.
(Some of Einstein's biographers painted him as a dull child and a poor student. His genius didn't become apparent until he was in his teens and early twenties.)
Well, good luck to this little girl. I hope she doesn't get a big head with all the praise and adulation ... and then once she faces real competition, finds out she can't measure up to all the hype. I'm always suspicious of parents who push their little children into that rather pathetic, self-congratulatory assemblage of [mostly] losers called Mensa.
Don’t know if it’s true but I once read that Einstein never memorized anything he could look up easily, like telephone numbers he could get from a phone book.
She's only got me beat by 5 points. I'll take her on.
Nice article, thanks. Such a lovely little girl — I hope her parents appreciate and nuture her natural abilities (IOW please let the “reality show” crap be just a nasty rumor).
This little girl belongs to a clade of humanity who typically skew 15 pts lower on that chart (and with a narrower variance). If she really does have 145 IQ then she lies five or six sigma from the mean.
It does my heart good to see her. I hope she has a long and happy life and that she is able to fulfil her impressive potential without being pulled down by toxic memes.
Many homeschoolers can do that... I know a few that can..
She needs to know/do something extra ordinary.. she hasn’t..
you’re just jealous because we won’t let you in
:P
My own experience with gifted friends is that they over compensate and think they have to treat you like an idiot and engage in trivial, inane activities so as not to lose you.
Good for her. She’s cute but she’s not smarter than me, and I have the paper to prove it. Also have a Mensa membership.
By the way, for some who don’t know what they are talking about, I’ve been to many Mensa gatherings and the subject of IQ almost never comes up. There’s certainly no comparing or bragging about IQ at a Mensa meeting.
