Mensa accepts Heidi Hankins: 4-year-old from England with genius I.Q.
Stephen Hawking, Isaac Asimov, and Albert Einstein are all members of Mensa, the standard for high I.Q.s. Famous scientist Hawking scored a 160 on his intelligence test. Mensa says the average I.Q. for adults is 100.
Now the society has recently added a new member. 4-year-old Heidi Hawkins, from Winchester, England, scored a 159 on her exam.
According to The Inquisitr, Heidi’s father Matthew said by the time she was one year old, Heidi was booting up the family computer, and she was playing chess by 18 months. Hankins said she was reading at the level of an 8-year-old by age 2.
Hankins adds, according to the Hampshire Chronicle, “She is just a little girl who likes her Barbies and Legos, but then you will find her sitting down and reading a book.”
He tested Heidi after her nursery said they had no activities that could challenge her.
According to Hankins, Heidi can add, subtract, read, draw people, and write in complete sentences, and she could count to 40, all by the time she was two.
Mensa consists of people from all walks of life, including actors Steve Martin, Geena Davis, and James Woods. Not to be outdone were porn star Asia Carrera and Playboy Playmate Julie Peterson.
Mail Online reported back in 2007 that the youngest child ever admitted to Mensa was Georgia Brown of the United Kingdom, who registered a 152 I.Q. at age 2.
