Parappa09 01/23/20 6:23:08 PM #1:	A 3-year-old brainbox is making waves across the pond, becoming the youngest member ever of the largest and oldest high IQ society in the world. Malaysian tot Muhammad Haryz Nadzim, who lives in the UK, was invited to join British Mensa after meeting with a psychologist and scoring 142 on the Stanford-Binet IQ test, placing him in the 99.7th percentile, his mom, Nur Anira Asyikin told CNN. The test assesses math, reading, memorization and logical thinking skills. Asyikin, an engineer living in the northeast city of Durham, said the family knew Nadzim was special even before Mensa took notice and she calls him her little brainbox. We are so proud and happy for Haryz, Asyikin said. Hes not only good at academics, but hes just like other children who love playing and growing up. We know he will give so much back to society in the future. full story: https://nypost.com/2020/01/22/3-year-old-boy-becomes-youngest-member-of-british-mensa/ i mean that's not saying much --- https://imgur.com/uUaFvGj <cite>Parappa09 posted [p:933387945] in 3 year old...

ChocoboMog123 01/26/20 2:05:39 AM #19:	https://www.iqcomparisonsite.com/IQBasics.aspx The top 1% falls within 140-160. Since you are rated against others of your age, IQ drops as you age, for a variety of reasons. Other kids catch up, you even out, and you start getting slower after 22 or so. Shablagoo posted... Yeah this is the depressing thing for me. Theyre saying hes going to end up giving so much back to society (and hopefully he does) but its also possible intelligence will just be a burden that ends up causing severe mental problems or something like that, tbh. Maybe, but unless he has some other issues, I think that has more to do with upbringing and motivation. I tested 130-140 when I was 6, was in top classes of decent schools throughout school, and surrounded by other smart kids. I consistently tested in the 99th percentile of standardized testing, almost scored a perfect on the SATs, et cetera. My IQ hasn't given me "severe mental problems," nor have I seen that in my peers. What's mostly held me back was my motivation (not IQ), anxiety (IQ related), or over/underconfidence (IQ related). --- "You're sorely underestimating the power of nostalgia goggles." - adjl http://www.smbc-comics.com/comics/20110218.gif <cite>ChocoboMog123 posted [p:933493648] in 3 year old...
