British girl, aged two, joins high IQ club

[Sammeth.]

Those who are saying that a 2 year old is smarter than them, then their IQ must be pretty low. 150 for a 2 year old is about the equivalent to around 30 for a grown adult I would say!

Remember how your IQ is calculated: Mental age divided by Chronological age multiplied by 100.

You have to take age into account, the figures change with age.

Imagine the pressures being put on that kid.. without being a *** about it my IQ was probably about that at an early age (perhaps not 2, but as a small child I was pretty exceptional) and I'd have hated that. I had special advanced classes in first school and that was good, but an entire organisation would be a bit daunting for a kid.

Personally i really dont think Iq is a particualy good meaure of intellegnce, since its highly bias towards certain arias of society and far from infallible. Secondly, at age 2 whats really the point. I really dont think they should force children that young to undertake this sort of thing, at least wait till the old enough to choose for themselves.

Another question i have about this, is who the hell gives there 2 year old child an iq test?

This rather random family whom falls in a tester possibly hoping for some fame, and then watch their child grow into an arrogant snob..

Sammeth makes a good point - the score is greater for a younger person of the same "intelligence".
