The listing of a 145 IQ has to be a typo, right? Mine is higher than that and I couldn't go to college that young, let alone graduate!

Fair, next

The reasons provided seem fair. Hell, even if he has the materials down there's all the labs and other credit hours he would need that there's no way he could legitimately obtain in just 10 months without some serious amount of string pulling.

i read about this in depth yesterday and it feels pretty clear

this also put me onto the story about the american child prodigy who had 4 degrees, including a docotrate, by age 22 and who now works for an improv troupe in nashville

No

MENSA's requirements are 130 or above

An IQ of 152 would put you around Stephen Hawking's intelligence lol

There are various scales. I think we are comparing apples and oranges here. I know I'm not near Hawking. I'm pretty sure he was at 180+ on the scale I was considering.

You're correct. As such, a high iq as a kid means **** all compared to what it is as an adult as well as if they actually were raised in an environment to hone their innate skill.

So I double-checked last night. My IQ was tested at 148 on the old scale (I said 152). It equates to about a 128 on the new scale. Sorry for the confusion, but I'm sure you were all waiting for the true results!!!

Lol.

I say it is not fair that he can't graduate, the earlier one gets their qualifications and get their degree the earlier they can enjoy their life. Jobs will hire said person easier especially if they are such prodigies.

By getting a degree at such a young age, that increase his chance to have a bright future.

Isn't there anything to increase a person IQ? Isn't there anyway to get as smart as Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein, etc? There has to be something special if a 9 year old kid is smart enough to go to university.

If person A has a superior IQ and person B has a inferior IQ, if they both work hard it is obvious Person A will always be superior unless he gets lazy.

It's relative to people who took the same test at the same age. If he were to retake the test in Japan he'd have a lower result.

I guess it is true some people are born lucky, while some are just lucky to get born at all. It is too bad there is no natural or unnatural way to increase a person intelligence and IQ.

That kid has done more in his 9 years of life than I have done in my 30 years of life thanks to my health being so crappy in getting sick so often and failing so much thanks to it. My health is good now, but I can't gain back those years wasted. That is why I would do anything to enhance my intelligence, I can't afford to keep failing. I can't stop getting older that is a start.
