| 2yr old genius - IQ @ 160
http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/s...45-954,00.html Quote:
Oscar's parents say their little genius began talking at nine months and by 18 months was reciting the alphabet in the bath.
By the time he turned two, he had a vocabulary stretching to thousands of words, while most children his age would have mastered only about 50.
Now Oscar lectures his amazed mum and dad about the reproductive cycle of penguins and conducts classical music symphonies as he listens, identifying individual instruments.
His father Joe, 29, is fully expecting the day to come "when he turns around and tells me I'm an idiot".
"Oscar is a child of very superior intelligence," said Dr Peter Congdon, from the Gifted Children's Information Centre in London.
"His abilities fall well within the range sometimes referred to as intellectually gifted. He demonstrated outstanding ability."
Dr Congdon ranked the toddler in the 99.99th percentile, meaning he is one in 100,000 in terms of his intelligence.
Oscar lives with his IT specialist dad and stay-at-home mum Hannah, 26, in Reading, England.
Both parents have normal IQs, although Oscar's maternal uncle, Jonathan Masters, was a child prodigy who began a university degree in computing aged just 13.
"He is always asking questions," Joe said. "Every parent likes to think their child is special, but we always knew there was something particularly remarkable about Oscar."
Assessors at the Gifted Children's Information Centre said Oscar, an only child, is one of the brightest youngsters they have come across.
His intelligence is literally off the scale, with the 45-minute Stanford-Binet test being unable to measure higher than 160.
He will need to be tested further in the years to come to establish his exact score.
Oscar's parents say they encourage him to follow any activity in which he shows interest.
He is already showing a gift for music and has asked for a saxophone for Christmas, despite the fact he is far too small to be able to play.
"He will sit in the back of the car listening to the Indiana Jones soundtrack and he'll be conducting with his fingers," Joe said.
"Then he'll say, 'Here comes the brass with the French horn' and then 'Here come the strings'."
Hannah said that Oscar "amazes everyone".
"We knew at 12 weeks he was extremely bright. He was unusually alert," she said.
"At four months, I would hold up two items of clothing and he would pick out which he wanted to wear.
"His vocabulary is amazing. He's able to construct complex sentences. The other day he said to me, 'Mummy, sausages are like a party in my mouth'."
A spokesman for Mensa confirmed he was the youngest boy to join the society, which requires a minimum IQ of 148.
Mensa UK chief executive John Stevenage said: "Oscar shows great potential. Converting that potential to achievement is the challenge for his parents and we are delighted that they have chosen to join the Mensa network for support."

So this kid has more intelligence than all the RS members combined? LOL
j/k............ sort of.
I hope this little kid doesn't end up like a lot of people with high IQ's - confused and frustrated. I hope he does some good with his intelligence. In our educational system (I know he's from England), we pour tonnes of money into those who don't want to learn or care, yet we ignore the ones who need the most guidance. The gifted are always left to fend for themselves. They are the least of our worries. So many of them just wilt away - such a waste. We just label them fags, geeks, and freaks. They don't fit in and are too weird for the rest of us. Yet many of them do survive the teasing and ridicule to become surgeons and researchers who, one day, end up saving our lives. Funny ain't it? We pay millions to people who smack little balls around the greens and we give little to no attention to those who really make a difference. Oh well, par for the course.

Just go to any public school and you'll see more than just a few kids with IQ's lower than a dog......barely functional to not be considered mentally handicapped. Not the system's fault - when children show up in Kindergarten still wearing diapers and not knowing how to tie their shoe laces or spell their own name properly let alone read. No kidding. They're out there. No surprise when a lot of parents are crackheads and alcoholics. I went to my niece's Christmas concert and the amount of parents who smelled of weed and alcohol was amazing.
Who was it that had the sig that read, "The difference between smart and stupid is stupidity has no limits."......... something like that.

hmm, not exactly.
IQ of 100 means, that for your age, you scored avg. IQ is based on your age. so yes the kid has an iq of 160, but that means for his age. at the age of 2, you dont know much.
so majority of RS still has a higher mass of knowledge than the kid.

You have no idea how his life is going to turn out and you're already trying to hate on him. That screams jealousy. Jealous at the fact that with just his natural born talent, he's more successful than you likely ever will be.
People like you are what's holding society back, as 89blkcivic so nicely put it. Quote:
