Two-year-old with same IQ as Einstein
 

Assessors at the Gifted Children's Information Centre in Solihull said Oscar, with an IQ of at least 160, is one of the brightest children they have every come across.

He has been ranked in the 99.99th percentile of the population and has been ranked off the scale as the Stanford-Binet test cannot measure higher than 160.

Oscar's father Joe, 29, an IT specialist from Reading in Berkshire, said: "Oscar was recently telling my wife about the reproductive cycle of penguins. "He is always asking questions. Every parent likes to think their child was special but we knew there was something particularly remarkable about Oscar. "I'm fully expecting the day to come when he turns around and tells me I'm an idiot."

Mother Hannah, 26, told The Daily Mail: "He amazes everyone. We knew at 12 weeks he was extremely bright. He was unusually alert." Mrs Wrigley, a housewife, added: "His vocabulary is amazing. He's able to construct complex sentences. "The other day he said to me, 'Mummy, sausages are like a party in my mouth'."

Dr Peter Congdon, who assessed Oscar, said he was a "child of very superior intelligence". "His abilities fall well within the range sometimes referred to as intellectually gifted. He demonstrated outstanding ability," he said.

John Stevenage, Mensa's Chief Executive confirmed Oscar had been accepted aged two years, five months and 11 days. "Oscar shows great potential. Converting that potential to achievement is the challenge for his parents and we are delighted that they have chosen to join the Mensa network for support", he said.

The youngest British child to join Mensa is Elise Tan Roberts, from Edmonton, North London, at two years, four months and 14 days, with an IQ of 156.

Ha! That was my first reaction too. I'm pretty sure that makes us terrible people.

It's an interesting story. However, smart kids creep me out a bit and they tend to be pricks. The parents are to blame.

The Daily Mail is not exactly a trustworthy publication.

This story doesn't seem right to me either, i'm already skeptical.

Same here.

Besides that, screw these kids. Damn it, I hate my IQ barely being beaten out by 2-year-olds. Who will probably grow up and be bigger ass holes than myself. And will work less to obtain what I strived for. God damn it, we need to kill off all of the people with IQs that exceed 150. (Which barely excludes me :D) Yup, we'll call it the final solution. :eek: Too soon to make references to that, eh? Then again, maybe not. Then again, I'm semi-cynical today and can't seem to help it.

I look at it as, well, he's 2. Who gives a shit. Give him 10 or 15 years and let's see how smart he is then.

Or completely anti-social.

He might even become Autistic. :eek:

You're such an arrogant asshole, and coming from me that should be gospel.

Do you think he would be pissed to know we have a very similar IQ and that it doesn't mean jack shit in the end?

Probably. Jamer refused that idea when he found out mine is above adverage and his is exact adverage. :rolleyes:
Oh well. In the end, we all end up in the same place - The Bathroom.

Skurai is a genius with irony?

I had no idea.

Neither did I, but if Rasengan Obama and Lazar Bush said it, it must be so. :eek:

I only posted this for the sausage party quote.

zing.
