A six years old prodigy from Texas who learned to read at the age of one year and nine months was accepted into the intellectual society Mensa.
Chandler Hughes mastered the first-grade reading program and the second-grade math program while still in kindergarten. After that, he skipped kindergarten and went straight to school. In the future, Chandler wants to become a doctor and help people. This was reported by mel.fm with reference to NBC News.
The youngest American woman previously accepted into the Mensa society is two years old Kashe Quest. At this age, she could name and recognize all the states of the United States by shape and location on a map, count to 100, knew all the letters and numbers, could list the names of the elements of the periodic table, and learned 50 sign language signs. Kasha Quest's IQ was rated at 148 points.
Children under 10 years of age do not undergo traditional testing to join Mensa. Child prodigies undergo independent research with the participation of an educational psychologist. The results of successfully passed tests must be notarized, after which Mensa issues an official conclusion on admission to the organization.
