Two-year-old with same IQ as Einstein

Posted 2009-10-11, 05:32 AM
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.

It is  up to  the parents  how they  choose to
raise their children.  It  was inevitable that
something like this could  "creep you out" but
hopefully   it    could   help    clear   some
misconceptions  about  the  human  brain.   In
regards to  the child's ability  to decide for
himself, he clearly ranks off the scale as the
socially acceptable system of said measurement
cannot take into account the child's cognitive
ability that is not mediated by pure empirical
evidence. He probably is one  of  the only few
persons worth meeting in this ghastly existence.

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 ) Yup, we'll call it the final solution. 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've considered being a translator, but I dunno. It feels like a lot of work. If someone gets angry then I have to deal with it, you know? I'd rather just relax.

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.

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

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