- 3-year-old Arizona girl tops IQ test at 160
Three-year-old Alexis Martin is the youngest person in Arizona to join Mensa.
Mensa is the international club with one criterion - an IQ in the top two percent of the world.
The average person has an IQ of 100. Alexis’ is above 160.
The doctors who tested Alexis said she tested so high, they couldn’t even calculate her IQ score. They say she is smarter than 99.9% of the world.
Alexis started reading when she was two-years-old.
“From 12-18 months old, we'd be driving around in the car and she would recite her bedtime story from the night before,” said her Dad Ian. “She didn’t just recite them, she recited them exactly.”
It’s not just her 5th grade reading level that’s shocking, Alexis also taught herself Spanish via her parents’ iPad.
Alexis’ parents know their daughter’s gift is amazing but they are also discovering new challenges.
“Does she go into kindergarten early? We are kind of hesitant because we do want her to to get that social aspect,” said Ian.
Alexis will never be able to go to a normal school, according to the doctor who helped test her.
One of the reasons, often times, kids this brilliant have high anxiety and it's easier for them to be around similar children.
“Anytime she learns a word and just picks it up through anything, she never ever uses it in the incorrect context, ever,” said Ian.
"She's still a 3 year old at heart"
uh.. no shes, literally 3 years old
Lmao
ok
@@wildjames she's still 3 "stupid ass" 🤦♂️
James Miller can’t take a joke
@@wildjames And thats changes anything....she is still a kid
“She’s still a three year old at heart”
No, she’s just literally a three year old :/
Yeah i dont agree with the forcing children to go to special schools and parading them around like a trophy, im not trying to discredit her but i was reading at a college level in 2nd grade, (im autistic, and i learn differently than other people and languages just so happened to be my *thing*) young children are just smarter than people give them credit so when one does more than the bare minimum everyone panics
Texsic didn’t really read the comments, just figured I’d say it, my feelings are so hurt now oh no
@@EE-gz5xu "... young children are just smarter than people give them credit so when one does more than the bare minimum everyone panics." True about many children. And apparently true about you.
@@fwcolb yeah the reading skills evened themselves out, now im jist good at writing essays and latin 💀 i wouldnt be surprised if they told me that her skills also evened themselves out
@@EE-gz5xu Latin? You like Cicero? Catulllus? Who else? I taught myself to read Latin when attending Mass in the days when Latin was used. We had missals with dual-language texts on facing pages. But I hated Caesar and his crappy account of the Gallic War.
every time I see the case of a child who is called a genius, I think about the pressure that child will have throughout their life to constantly prove that they're the best, and if things change over time, they will feel like a failure and feel like they let everyone around them down. Hope she has a good life in the future.
yeah i worry ab her burning out 🙁 im not AS smart as her ofc but the same thing happened to me
Yes. Same worry. Parents and teachers start expecting more than is realistic and insisting it is their place to do better. The moment you can't perform better or maybe even fail at something it's easily depression and suicidal thoughts. Treat the brain with respect just like the organs of the body. Don't overwork it. And work towards proper brain health. Meet with psychologists, physiatrists, and other experts to assist in this.
It seems that the parents are aware of the fact that she's still a child. As the dad put it they also want to give her the social aspect with the kids her own age.
@@SiimKoger Yes. I'm making a general statement not about this family specifically.
Exactly, same here
I had a high IQ as a child and was often told how smart I was by my parents... I then got an ADHD diagnosis, promptly got bored in school and ended up barely graduating high school before eventually going on to get a Master's degree. It was a blessing and a curse...
I can relate to this, 15 right now and I also have ADHD. when I was like 8-12 I was a fkn genius, I never studied for anything and constantly performed at the top of my class in practically all subjects aside from french and pe. Now I can definitely notice I do a little bit better than others with the same or less amount of studying, but it's pretty scary to see my natural intelligence slowly go away. I only really know like a few people who were super smart around that time that still are as effortlessly smart.
@@IOwnKazakhstan Not necessarily. Maybe you don't do well within this current system. Smart people have existed since the dawn of time, industrialization has only been around for 200 years give or take. Perhaps you're more free-spirited and the constraints of the bureaucracy cause you to lose motivation or hope because your capacity isn't recognized by it. Might want to look into self-sufficient/off-the-grid living, as many high-intellect people have moved towards doing things their way instead of abiding by the system.
@@IOwnKazakhstanI’ve got a similar story - fluently reading for my own entertainment at 3, speed reading out loud as fast senior students when I was in 1st grade, primary school math was a breeze as I had an innate understanding of basic algebra (like the level that’s applicable in everyday life regardless of age). I was constantly praised as a freakin genius and everyone thought I was gonna go far 😂 Low and behold - since middle school I was doing average at best of times. When we had to memorise formulas, poems off by heart (if this sounds weird, that’s the education system in Ukraine for you), geographic locations on a map and historical names & dates - 🧠💨💩… Got kicked out of one uni and barely finished another after repeating half the subjects in my degree. I was labeled lazy and a massive disappointment for wasting my own potential since I was 10, when in reality I had adhd with poor long-term memory, which only got diagnosed when I was nearly 30 and living in Australia. Something‘a gotta give 😂
My smarts, resolution and creativity made me a favourite through primary grades, and got me into a lot of trouble in high school. I ended up in an alternate program. Wasted a year there (I was not disruptive, but I questioned everything and the faculty ran out of answers), so I begged my way back into regular high school and resolved to do what I had to do to get my Dogwood. My dad and I started a business the spring I graduated high school. Probably the best thing that could have happened to me. Six years in, and one of my brothers joined us. He had always been a sharp knife as well, had gone on to one successful career, but was attracted to our industry.
Thirty years later, I am successful, mortgage free, have my retirement looked after, and make my own schedule, which is mainly devoted to the animal non-profit I sit on the board of.
Business offers a huge challenge. As the world and economy changes, we have to change. Our father passed away a few years ago, and we’ve continued on, as strong as ever. I am the creative, passionate influence and my brother is the down to earth numbers guy, and it’s a fruitful, complimentary partnership.
Too often you’re pushed to “go to school” when what you really wanna do is live life and be challenged. I was fortunate to have someone in my younger life who had been there and done that; my dad. He pushed me to get my hands dirty, put in a seventy hour work week, and build something I’m incredibly proud of. It’s still a lot of work, but it’s our deal, our decisions, our mistakes, our successes, OUR lives.
Whenever I tell someone "had a high IQ" they make fun of me. I was tested as a kid when I got into the gifted programs. It was extremely high. What I didn't know was that I had ADHD which got worse as I got older- wasn't diagnosed til last year. I'm incredibly intelligent for sure- but concentration and memorization plays a huge part in these tests. (which quickly evaporated with each passing year. Also an IQ just measures your ability to learn. If it's not fostered- you just got alot of raw material and alot of regrets. I honestly would have rather had the ADHD diagnosis as a kid. Wouldve helped alot more than just knowing I had alot of potential.
Well this sounds like a recipe for depression at age 7
Her family: *mixes ingredients aggressively*
Yes. Most young geniuses will burnout and get discouraged when they hit a wall, because they were unstopable until then, and they are still emotionally not intelligent enough to deal with failure.
@@juliakercsmar6587 that's what societies like Mensa try to prevent. Burning out of talent due to their own expectations of their abilities
Not necessarily. Nobel Prize winners did not get 160+ IQs as adults, but as children. What would cause depression is having an IQ over 145 and not knowing why you are different. A "genius" would score 145 or over. This is 3 standard deviations above the mean. Only 1% of the population score 145 and over. Over 160 means that this girl is an extraordinary genius.
True she may find it awkward in school with children who either do not see what she sees or children who have to work hard to learn. But she will know why she is different and it will probably not worry her.
I attended one large meeting of Mensa when I joined in 1967 or so. And indeed some Mensa members were very odd people. What surprised me were the number of underachievers I met. I never attended another meeting and let my membership lapse.
I concluded that many personal qualities are more important than IQ. Nurture is as important as IQ and that depends on how children are raised by their parents and teachers and other members of the community.
Recall that some of the most wanted criminals and terrorists have high IQs. The highly intelligent wrongdoers tend to avoid getting caught.
@@juliakercsmar6587 No evidence for this.
She clearly was exposed to Rick and Morty at some point in her childhood.
if only i knew them when i was that young
Elly Stange i knew there would be this comment

Probably in prenatal development
This video is 9 years old. This girl is 12 now. I'm curious how her life has unfolded since this video.
Great question!
crack addict?
She's just a random girl. You can't determine IQ until at least 5 years old.
She is currently in deep space commanding a fleet of intergalactic science vessels.
My grandchildren all read well above grade level when they were young. My granddaughter started reading at age 4 and was reading at 12th grade level when she was in 4th or 5th grade- the problem with that is, finding books at those high levels that are appropriate for her age is impossible. This was true of her cousin and older brother, too. She has been a bit ahead of grade level all her life and is now going into high school. If a kid is super ahead of their peers, the challenge is social development AND avoiding boredom, and finding ways to motivate them to enjoy learning, work hard and to know/understand that there are many things in life way more important than “how much you know”.
I had the exact situation when I was a kid! It was so hard because I had to mature much faster than normal and didn't get the true childhood experience. If you're pushing Ernest Hemmingway on a 4th grader they'll have to speak like a sophomore. Although I did grow to appreciate those kind of books, it was pretty sad I couldn't settle for Harry Potter and relate to my friends. If you have a kid that's "above average" in school, get them a community of like-minded kids that can just be kids. It helps them socialize with less pressure.
70s kids all read adult books in the fifth grade. It was sometimes disgusting but it was a lot better than people hovering over us worrying about age-appropriate books, which no one did.
I learned to read in the second grade, and was reading history volumes by the fourth grade. I don't know what 12fth grade reading levels are supposed to be. I guess higher than 11th grade? I suppose I had the reading level of a 69 year old, since these volumes were heavily marketed to older people.
My sister taught her self to read. I have dyslexia but my reading comprehension and vocabulary were post doctoral level in 7th grade. My vocabulary was better then.😂 My boyfriend is a Ph.D any he still doesn’t understand many of the words I use.
"Shes smarter than her parents"
"She has a 5th grade reading level"
Not a good look for the parents lol.
Get Ass no, they said that she was telling them a 20-25 page book from memory. She wasn’t reading a book for 25 year olds. During the interview, she was reading a book that is geared towards little kids. Actually I’ve never heard of a book designed for a particular age because a book for 25 year olds would be a typical, adult book.
@@spottedtime Lol...books for exclusively 25 year olds 😅👍
No no it said she reads 25 books 25 times.
O
Get Ass I’ll be 25 next month, I hope someone will buy me one of those books for my birthday!
When I was 3, I got a piece of foam stuck up my nose for more than a month.
Ken Mendoza lmao
😂😂😂😂😂
Ken Mendoza that takes skills
Haha i had a popcorn kernells stuck in my nose for a week when i was younger
Ken Mendoza lol
not to say that this child and i are the same, but from preschool i was constantly told how incredibly mature i was for my age, and it led to an abundance of mental health issues and traumas for me because i took it to mean it was okay to immerse myself in mature and adult things. i’m not saying this girl’s abilities should be discounted or ignored, but treating her drastically differently than others her age might result in a lot of struggles down the road. i really hope she’s doing alright.
I was always a smart kid and my teachers never gave me much special attention in primary school. I still grew up learning that people don't like when you're smarter than they are and that its a lot easier to have friends by playing dumb. I didn't care enough about having friends at that age for it to matter to me. By highschool I found that I had to put on a real act in order to fit in with the "average" kids, most of whom were almost as smart as me, but had been taught very little.
Being a smart kid is hard, but you might as well lean in to it. If you pretend to be average for too long you end up limiting your opportunities and being forced to keep up the act in order to get a job and fit in to society.
Literally nobody cares how smart you are if you aren't a scientist or a doctor or some kind of proffesional scholar. The problem is, you will always know that you could have done more if you hadn't been afraid to be different.
Smart kids are prone to ego problems, although I think they're just as likely to have underdeveloped egos as a a result of overdeveloped super egos as they are to become egotistical. Its important to praise a smart kid for other things besides intelligence, like compassion, hard work and integrity. That should be balanced with the same amount if criticism any other kids get for bad behaviour, although very smart kids tend to quickly learn how to get what they want within the bounds of the rules, so they might need less punishments overall. It is still important for them to learn to respect authority. Especially when they believe that they know better, because adults shouldn't expect rationality to be able to get them out of a parking ticket.
Its also important to hold them to their own standards of inteligence, if they feel a desire to keep learning that should always be encouraged. Sooner or later you need to point out to them that most of their peers in school will never 'catch up' and that they should learn how to teach themselves in order to meet their own expectations for learning.
If you ignore their intelligence they will just lose respect for you as a parent and leader. They wilk know they are smart because their peers will treat them differently. They ought to be proud of themselves for their accomplishments even if they don't get recognition from peers.
But why haven't you invented a time machine yet or cure for all diseases??? Jeez. Society needs at least the cure for all diseases.
And then everyone clapped
Keep her at home! She doesn’t need to be exposed to all the bad behavior of so many kids in school. She’s a happy kid obviously.
Imprison her?
@@temporarilyimmortal795Theirs a very clear difference between what Nancy said and imprisonment. Pretty sure that even if she is taken to a kindergarten class she will think her classmates are overly immature and she won't be taken seriously even if she should
She really needs to be socialized. Otherwise she's going to struggle with isolation as an adult
but IQ is based on age.....so she is smarter than 99.9% of 5 year olds....
+Savingtheplanet shes 3
So 99.9% of 3 year olds.....
+Savingtheplanet Thank you, I've already lost faith in humanity but I thought this was general knowledge. Let's see if she's still got an IQ that high in 10 years..... *sigh* she probably will, people are getting stupider.
exactly what i'm saying?? iq is your mental age divided by your chronological age times 100. so in order for her iq to be over 160, her mental age would only have to be 6. also, the iq tests designed for children are very different from adult tests, so they are completely wrong in saying she's smarter than her parents.
And that 00.1 percent is Briella. Heh 😉😏
"She's smarter than Mom and Dad..." Correction: She has the potential for greater intelligence than her parents. They still have more knowledge than her due to experience and education, but when she gets to their age she will have much more if she keeps with this upswing. Having a great ability to learn does not mean one has already learned.
smart and intelligent are synonyms. Knowledge is completely separate and has nothing to do with the word "smart".
She is smarter... she speaks Spanish fluently, and doesn’t use words out of context, so she is able to apply things more accurately than her parents. They even said she corrects them. Her parent obviously know more from learning through experience, but if you were to put her and her parents in a room and teach them something, the daughter would retain and be able to apply the new information more accurately... also a side note an IQ is an intelligence quotient which to tone it down it basically it is measuring how smart you are with a number, so if her parents is lower than hers then that means she is smarter.
ok captain obvious
👨🏿🏭
The keeping with it part is important. I was like her as a child, but after being raised by a drug dealer and an alcoholic, I'm definitely no genius as an adult.
In psychology class I've learned that IQ tests only start being somewhat precise for kids over 6 years old. My teacher (psychologist with diploma) said that there are tests for younger children, like 3 year-olds, but they are way too unprecise to actually be taken seriously...
Then Mensa would’be known better than to get her a membership card right?
@@LanNguyen-oe2km They should have, but obviously did not.
Yep. I would LOVE to see exactly how she was "tested". This is all just publicity for MENSA which charges a fee to apply.
Three year old genius... why ? Because she can count to ten?
Came here to say this. You have to PAY to get a Mensa card, not just have a 140+ IQ.

Shiro take a joke, everybody has their own toxicity, and I have mine.
A lot of this feels like this ability to have a good memory.
Yeah, a lot of it is memory. Other major components that go into factoring IQ levels are things like problem solving, critical thinking, examining, interpreting, comprehension, evaluating, reasoning, etc... But yes, memory is certainly a big part of it! :)
Specifically working memory is a big component.
Was thinking that too.. Like, have her do some Math, then we'll talk.
At the age of 12 to 18 months, she was reciting books with 25 pages? That is amazing! I've never seen a baby speak so clearly at this age group.
Thats bc other children have social lives.

Every parent I know in my neighbourhood claims their average child is a genius.
Every parent does that.
I’m a young child with 160+ IQ and whenever my parents tell me I’m Intelligent or bright, especially considering my age, I think they may be lying, due to having trust issues for this exact reason. I go in public, have small and short conversations, and boom, everybody tells my parents, “Oh, your daughter is so smart!”
I don’t believe it.
When I go to my guitar lessons,
The owner of the store which I play in, and my teacher, both tell me “She’s a genius” and all of that.
I tell myself, “Oh, it’s because they’re getting paid. Otherwise, they wouldn’t make these claims.”
I will tell you this;
I’ve finally stopped believing it’s something biased. Especially because my dad is a brutally honest individual, and he’s told me whether something I did was good or not in kind ways, even if it’s a truth that my brother or I wouldn’t like to hear. He’s got an IQ of 160+, too. He still says I’m a genius. If you have children yourself, Sir, raise them similarly to that in that certain aspect. Brutal honesty should never hurt a child, because it ends up helping them in the end.

I hope she's going to be okay, I was a ''Gifted Child''. the pressure and expectations laid upon you are more than a kid can take.

I dont believe you
Well. It's for the good of humanity. She can possibly cure all diseases or invent a time machine. It would be worth it in the end.
i feel seen. in addition, the alienation is crushing. gifted children are often the ones who are bullied. sociopathy is a real risk. at one point in my young life, i realized that i had to make a choice between pursuing my intellectual capacity, which would lead to a life of rarefied loneliness, or social adjustment, which would mean sacrificing my potential. i chose the latter, and i don't regret it, but i do sometimes wonder what might have been.
Mine told me I wouldn't succeed but I "have all this potential." Guess which message the kid hears? 🙄🙄

I think it's interesting that we worry SO much about 'age-appropriate social development' from K-12 grade, but then expect people to adapt and automatically know how to talk with people from so many different generations in the workplace. I'm such a proponent for multi-age classrooms because I think it helps to socialize kids who may be more cognitively developed and who still need to be socially challenged.

When you guess at an IQ test and you get them* all correct.
I think the way it works is if you get the first however many right, it kicks the questions up a notch in difficulty. If you keep getting them right, they keep getting harder, if you get one wrong it stays the same level I believe.

I’ve got a similar story - fluently reading for my own entertainment at 3, speed reading out loud as fast as senior students when I was in 1st grade, primary school math was a breeze as I had an innate understanding of basic algebra (like the level that’s applicable in everyday life regardless of age). I was constantly praised as a freakin genius and everyone thought I was gonna go really far 😂 Low and behold - come middle school I started doing average at best of times. When we had to memorise formulas, geographic locations on a map, historical names & dates, and poems off by heart (if this sounds weird, that’s the education system in Ukraine for you) - 🧠💨💩… I was labeled as lazy and a massive disappointment for wasting my potential since I was 10. Got kicked out of one uni and barely finished another after repeating half the subjects in my degree. Turned out I have adhd with poor long-term memory, which only got diagnosed at nearly 30 (I’ve been living in Australia since I was a teen). Something‘a gotta give 😂
A lot of adults mistakingly assume that children with high intelligence do not need support in school or with homework. I got straight A's without studying up until high school when I started taking high level math classes. I still got decent grades (a B or a C in calculus is not a failure!) but my parents got mad at me while not giving me the assistance I needed. So I gave up on the idea of getting perfect grades and just focused on making sure I graduated college so I could have that piece of paper to go work abroad. I knew that after I started working, no one would care what my grades were. I was right. Part of being successfully smart is knowing when to ignore other people's advice or pressure, even your parents. Now all I want is to live by the ocean and study topics of interest in my spare time. Many super intelligent people do not aspire to be great, but to live peacefully.
With that high of an IQ she could easily understand every joke made in Rick and Morty.
To be fair...
You have to have....

Disgusting, begone reddit
superligitguy yup. I only have an iq of 2 so i dont understand any of the jokes on rick and morty. You have to have very high iq to understand the jokes. Its not like its an overrated unfunny show but i wouldnt know cause my iq is too low.
Only some at best
She: learned Spanish by herself at age 3
Me: ate mud at age 3
Lol and made mud pies
Me 23: still eating dirt, I don’t care too much for mud anymore. Too many carbs
Wow! I didn't graduate to mud until I was at least three and a half - and that was by accident!
Children learn new languages very easily
That's like level one of Duolingo lol that doesn't make someone fluent. It's also not just an app for adults, news conflating it.
I'm happy that the doctor pointed out that she can't go to a normal school. It's important for her to be around others who also have a high IQ because those who have high IQs tend to be ostracized by the other kids. In general, people feel the most comfortable interacting with people of similar IQs. It's also extremely difficult on kids when the classes move too slowly because they are bored out of their minds hearing what they understand over and over.
The doctor is wrong. At age 3, all children should go to regular school, where they are encouraged to learn to deal with separation anxiety, develop their creativity, play with others, take turns, socialize, take naps when told, eat lunch and learn basic table manners, sit quietly and listen to a story, walk around the neighborhood in a group, play in the sandbox, have fun in the playground, and then go home. These are the most important life skills. "Everything I know I learned in Kindergarten". Robert Fulghum.
I hope when Alexis grows up, she'll do something great for the world. Sweet child!
if she's so fluent in Spanish, she should translate mensa
Exactly my thought
BAHAHA
*3 year old genius accepted into stupid*
dan iel LMAOOO
Irony!
i had a hard time understanding what she was saying. She seemed to be just a normal 3 year old.
Because IQ is measured compared to the average, and for kids that's the average for your age. Also it's measured using tests and puzzles which people are known to get better at with practice (in fact the original inventer of the IQ test never intended it to be used to permanently label people). So basically '3 year old with 160 IQ' just means a 3 year old that's doing puzzles that average 4 or 5 year olds do. Also there's no way of knowing if she'll keep being ahead for her age.
some kids are really smart, this one in particular is lucky enough to have caring parents and to have been tested. So, she'll hopefully get the right education. I do wonder how many kids out there don't have those opportunities.
DrZarkloff I think she is just learning how to speak. This girl is so smart and incredible. I was reading in a fifth grade level when I was in 3rd grade and she is only 3!
celest s you are right. Some kids in this planet don't get an education and people with access to education take it for granted. We complain about so much but we don't think about the other people. Go watch IISuperwomanII's TH-cam video on her life changing experience in Kenya. BTW, she is also known as Lilly Singh.
Yeah I'm really confused. My daughter said her first word at 3 months old and said over 100 words by the time she was one, no joke. Now she's 2 and she says full sentences and you can understand her almost perfectly. My daughter also knows a lot of Spanish words and can count and knows full lyrics to songs and can draw faces. Shes not close to being 3 either. Her birthday is in November. Although my daughter couldn't remember pages and pages of stories. Small ones yeah, like Brown bear Brown bear. What does an IQ test test any way? I haven't taken one.
You can’t put that baby in Kindergarten. She’s gonna have to be home schooled and socialized differently. She’s gonna need a lot of support. I can’t wait to here more about her.
wow - what a challenge as a parent. Glad they have help. Good luck. Bless you all.

You turned from an immature kid to an EVEN more immature kid.
no, she's 99.9% smarter than other 3 y/os lol. IQ is based on the same age of the person who took the test.
Makes sense. I was about to say, she's THAT smart?? I was feeling kinda dumb...
I hope her parents stayed humble about it, and didn't brag to everyone about her abilities. At 18 months, I learned how to read, and at 3 1/2 years old I learned how to write. My mom would continuously tell me that I was smarter than everyone, and it ended up making me tell everyone at my preschool that I was better than them. It eventually lead to me not having any friends until I moved away in the 3rd grade.
I love the fact that she’s making us all feel horrible...
Edit: Thanks so much for all the likes!

Kaepora Gaebora do you don’t feel the slightest bit dumb?
i feel like being told at 3 years of age that you are more intelligent (or at least have the potential to be) than 99%+ of the population could be potentially problematic down the road, in regards to character development. hopefully, her high IQ also comes with high self-awareness/humility as well.
You're right. That's how supervillians are created, lol...
When you are a kid IQ tests measure the development stage in acquiring intelligence, she has done very well on 3 yo IQ tests. She was not smarter than an average 7 years old. This only means that she developed really fast, not that she is really smart.
Since this video was made in 2014, now she is 11, and I bet now she is a really good student at school, not a genius better than 99.9%.
This was a marketing stunt for Mensa, some very subjective parents, and a very precocious little girl, nothing more.
very true
There are many young musician prodigies who we see have long public careers. The young academic prodigies are rarely seen again after the initial media blitz. All young prodigies have in common active involved parents who search for the best teachers to continue advancing the child's abilities and connections within the particular field of interest.
Her parents seems pretty down to earth, dont want her skipped to much so shes with kids her age and stuff.
Genius or not, this is a young child. She deserves a normal childhood, at least for a while.
IQ is based on age. This is her IQ relative to others her age, not people in general.
I mean it’s good that she’s smart but you don’t want her growing up thinking that she is better than everyone.
my iq is 42 and i dont even brag
america out here encouraging asian parental mindsets like
They'll tell everyone she is, and then they'll think they're better than everyone because they had her, and she'll be a huge spoiled snob when she grows up.

The fact that the avg IQ has went down from 120 to 100 in recent decades EXPLAINS ALOT!!!😂
The average IQ has always been 100. That number was based on the average person's IQ test results.
You DO realize this child is BORN like that! None of us should feel bad about it as it's PURE LUCK.. not something she worked for or deserved!
You seriously believe this?

As a child who skipped grades in grade school, I would definitely advise the parents to try to get her into a school environment that is as normal as possible. Being moved ahead was very damaging to my ability to socialize. Adults can be years apart yet have no difficulty relating to one another but children who are just 2 years apart are worlds apart in social development. I was bullied mercilessly and it permanently affected my ability to make friends and feel comfortable around people my own age. There are many different kinds of intelligence. Mental I.Q. is only one. Moral intelligence and social intelligence are others. A person needs a balance of all of these to be whole. My sister always resented me because she had to work harder in school. But she managed decent grades and was inducted into the National Honor Society. I breezed through school without having to learn discipline while she developed skills that would serve her well later in life. She finally got a Masters degree at the age of 45 and is now a school principle. My point here is that intelligence isn’t everything. I admire my sister for her perseverance and hard work and also for what she has accomplished.
props to you and it seems that your are book smart and street smart from what youre saying here. You sound like a good person and I hope life after school has been good to you. I despise bullying and Ive noticed that people who get bullied go two ways, one is they bully others on revenge for what they went through and the other is they use it as a moral compass to achieve great things and prevent bullying
I can relate in two ways... 1) I skipped 4th grade. While I was intellectually ready there was so much more of me that was not. 2) My father’s IQ is in that top percentage. I appreciate the fact that he always felt the responsibility of going to work and providing financially for his family. But he was a terrible father. He was always “checked out” and living in his own fantasy world. My mother had to raise 2 girls and 3 boys with no other help from him. Not the best childhood but not the worst. 🤷♀️
@M Shultz - I think every child has different needs, its not as black and white as some people may think it is. I was accepted into Mensa when I was seven years old with an IQ of 157. My mother did not let me attend, because she wanted me to have a normal life and be socialized (as you suggested. That was the worst parenting decision she could have ever made on my behalf. I needed to be around children who were exceptional like me, because it would have allowed me to feel less ostracized from society. I was bullied on a daily basis for being more advanced than my classmates (I was not allowed to skip grades).
My Intelligence made me a target at school and over time, it psychologically conditioned me to believe that I was abnormal and it created a life time battle with self confident issues that effected every area of my life as an adult. I begged my mom every day for permission to be homeschooled, because I could always focus better if I was alone. The answer was always "No," and I was told that I just needed to suck it up and learn how to adapt to the school environment like everybody else. I learned how to adapt be pretending to be stupid, because that was the only way I could make friends at school. I became quiet and withdrawn and eventually even sucidal. The self confidence issues, developed into an 18 year battle with an eating disorder that almost took me life.
The point, is that if every parent of a brillant child was to take the same approach/perspective that you are suggesting, it could potentially ruin the child's life permanently. The problem is that children who are born with an extremely high IQ, are very self aware! They know what is best for them, more then the parents do, yet their needs and desires are not taken into consideration due to their age. My, potential was robbed not because of my intelligence, but because of the way that society percieves how children should be dealt with. My story, is not a unique one and I'm sure thier are other brilliant children in the world who suffered, due to the ignorance of thier parents. Humans need to learn from their mistakes, instead of repeating the same old patterns!
@@cg3560 Their are other ways to socialize a child, other than forcing them to attend school. Sports, Dance, Art, etc. These are only a few examples of extra curricular activities that a child can partipate in, inoder to become properly socialized. Maturity, is a whole other topic and it is related to both life experiences and 'emotional intelligence', which is not tested on the IQ test.
Some children like myself, are old souls. Meaning, that we incarnate with a much more serious approach to life in general, because our souls have lifetimes of experience under belts. We do not need a 'tour guide', which is basically what a parent is for children like myself. If, you have a child that has an IQ of 145 or higher, they are not going to be interested in the same things that a normal child would be. In, other words they don't need guidance, they need support.
For, example: when I was nine years old, I could read and write at a 10 grade level. I was spending most of my spare time writing novels and studying psychology, while the other children my age were only interested in playing video games and talking about pokemon. I had no idea what pokemon even was, nor could I care less. The truth, is that children like me had nothing in common with kids my age. Most of my friends growing up, were 20 years older than me, only because I could have political debates with them...that would other wise be impossible with a child who was the same age as me.
I get where your coming from, but like I said before, their is no one size fits all modality for children who do not fit the traditional mold, of how a child is 'expected' to act and conform to society.
After skipping grades myself, I agree with this 100%.
She's a lot smarter than the news presenters and whoever wrote their script

@@zerozeroeszeroed She's not stupid. She probably knows that being so extremely intelligent is a huge responsibility.
@@MrCmon113 no she’s not stupid at all but honestly the school system probably made her super depressed.

I wish we could get an update on this story; I really hope this kid is having a great life, and not being held to such an impossible standard that the pressure is too much to bear. She deserves to be happy and free, not treated like some all-knowing oracle of knowledge who's automatically a disappointment if she doesn't deliver on that premise. These incredibly well-learned children sadly always seem to have a tougher time in life.
This is great! My daughter just turned 4 and she too has been reading since she was two. She is fluent in three languages. Her first words was at 8 months old. She tells exceptional stories and mostly talks of stars and death. She's definitely smarter than even most adults around. I don't send her to school yet. Any suggestions on how to bring her to a global learning platform where a child is not made a star, but her privacy is respected while educating her further?
Expose them to regular society or you are failing them
Place her in a regular classroom, so she can develop her social skills, learn right from wrong, practice empathy, have friends, sing, play, go on class trips, and have fun. You can always send her to an Ivy League college at age 18. Until then, let her be a kid.
Sending her to a local school for a year now. She’s learned more about life in school and has made so many friends! It’s so fulfilling to see her grow :)
“Also fluent in Spanish.” She’s learning the phrase, “ustedes son hombres” which means “you are men” in Spanish, not even close to fluency. I don’t mean for this to be negative, her intelligence is impressive, but part of this just isn’t true.
Does she say it like a 3 year old tho? I doubt any 3 yr can pronounce stuff correctly..
Yeah.
I think they mean she speaks Spanish just as good (w an English accent but that makes sense) as she speaks English. Neither her English nor Spanish sounds good bc she still is a 3-year-old
Arianna Maria I doubt it. As a Duolingo user if she is just at the stage of learning, “ustedes son hombres” she definitely hasn’t done many lessons. I bet she wouldn’t be able to say, “can I use my new doll” in spanish.
download duolingo they have you say odd phrases when you are learning... smh dissing a three year old without even looking into it 😂
My next door neighbor, when I was three, was a three year old boy who read the newspaper. I went through twelve grades of public school with him, and he remained the smartest kid in our very large school, all the way until graduation. We are 70 now. He is my oldest friend.
:')
God bless you both during the pandemic! 🙏🏽
So what did he do with himself? Some of the smartest kids I knew in school bombed out later. The really smart ones don't make a big deal about their intelligence. They just one day do something incredible and act like it's no big deal.

@@AnalyticalReckoner I'm speaking from experience. I know quite a handful of very intelligent children who grew up not knowing how to handle their skills - became depressed, anxious, felt alone, had to cope with very high expectations from people, and feeling very isolated/different from everyone else. I meant that well, by the way. I realize my original statement sounded negative. My apologies for that. I am hopeful she will have all the support to ensure her success in life. ^_^
Omnis Imperator hey depression is higher in smart people it’s a fact
parthesky omg I use to have a shed full of tools 🧰 had no idea how to use them sold them at a loss
@Dusty that's bullshit bro, as long as you dont have, say, aspergers or something like that, being intelligent won't ruin your emotional development (in fact you might be better with emotions than regular folk). But it is correlated with depression and anxiety so there's that
His comment at the end is everything “We’ll probably be working for her someday.” True but also sweet.
Those who are museum docents often encounter brilliant children. And you’d better be on your toes because you can be asked very good questions. And they will remember you years later and recite what you said almost verbatim.
As someone who also started reading books around two, and the daily newspaper at three, I think an option to be considered for kids who are at a cognitively higher level than their peers is to keep them at the age - appropriate grade level at school, but to challenge them intellectually at home. It's not a cutesy movie trope to have kids grow up in an emotionally mismatched or toxic environment. It may mess them up for life.
They need to be in a school that maximizes their potential. I was lucky enough that while I was not skipped grades, I was allowed to work at my own pace in many subjects. for example in second grade I did both 2nd and 3rd grade math. That allowed me in 3rd grade to jump ahead and do grades 4, 5 and 6.
I disagree. Kids don't conform to one size fits all. Higher functioning kids tend to need to keep feeding their knowledge. Some are concentrated to specific areas of interest while others are generalized but regardless there is a need for this and if it's not fulfilled, poses other issues which could be mild or severe; depending on the child. keeping a child at grade level will not satisfy their own learning needs. There is no reason they can't be placed in a learning environment at their academic level but that can fulfill their social and emotional needs as well.
I disagree. Her gift must be celebrated and nurtured. I would never allow my intellectually gifted child in a regular school. She needs a private tutor. School will do nothing but set her back. Schools are cesspools of stupidity and immorality anyhow.
As a mom to a kid who taught herself tp read at 2, I refuse to jump her ahead. She needs social and emotional development...that is not accelerated like her IQ is
@@charlottemiller7675 Same here. My son went to a Montessori school where he had his fellow classmates at his age level and older children in his classroom. This type of classroom was ideal for ny son as it satisfied his social skills and his higher level academic need. He's 21 now. Best decision I made for him.
She’s not “a three year old at heart”. She’s a three year old. What the father said near the end about keeping her social life normal is so important.
My cousin repeated a grade, told me the bright side was he was the oldest dude for those younger girls 😂😂
I wonder.....will she ever make "stupid mistakes" like most teenagers? She will never know the mainstream "normal" childhood.
There ain't no social life for her. She can't communicate with her peers. Kids at her age believe in Santa, play with mud, dolls, and tiny cars; for her, that's unbearably boring. People with that IQ level need to find their peers who are at their level. The fact that she is a girl is not really the best, as in general, men want to dominate, to lead, and will discriminate her as a way to protect their fragile ego. I hope things will change soon enough so she won't become an adult in a society where people rather envy or hate people like her, than appreciate and try to follow their step or be great in other ways.
@@Gamerlife-cv2tn you gringos are weird, one of the smartes brain in our astro phisic class, was a theorial math student, and we always prize her for her intelligence and flawless theorical math understanding and application
At those high lvls that discrimination doesnt exist, unless she goes for lesser careers like sociology, law, politics, etc, but as long as she keeps her way among true smart people (hard science) she wont experience that discrimination
Smart kids "a priori" will never have a "normal" life per say, and shouldn't, they arent average, they sre very self aware, like for example, soon she will start doing complex math and understand the laws of physics so she will say things to her parents like "i have go to the conclusion that santa doesn't exist according to the laws of physics and human mythology" at age 4 or 5
So forcing her into a normal kids life is detrimental, just let her be, give her what she needs, and adapt to the way she sees the world and experience it
The way things are deteriorating these days in North America is proof that
it doesn’t take much to be smarter than 99% of adults. In all seriousness, while the parents must be very proud of their daughter I’m sure they also have a lot of special concerns that average parents won’t have to deal with. Best of luck to the whole family.
Emotional intelligence and intellectual intelligence are not necessarily the same thing. History is full of incredibly gifted people who had tragic lives because they were not given a childhood and allowed to mature emotionally as well as mentally. Emotional maturity has a lot to do with experience, which is learned through experience.

The rate at which she learns may be impressive, but she’s absolutely not smarter than 99% of people. She is still a 3 years old toddler with almost no life experience and doesn’t have the social intelligence of a normal adult. She may become very smart, but memorizing a lot of information isn’t per say intelligent, how she will be using all that information going on is even more important.

It has been 9 years, she is 12 now, any updates?
I worry for this kiddo. "Gifted" kid here, 17 years old. I don't know my exact IQ, I was "diagnosed" as profoundly gifted years ago though. Children will go through developmental stages regardless of their IQ, but the higher the expectation put on them the more frustrated they will be by their normal shortcomings as they grow up, it can really stunt their motivation and development.
Also, academically inclined kids question everything, and I mean everything. Social structures especially. I struggled in school because I was bored and annoyed by the busy work, and I was constantly questioning my teachers. I was also a very sad kid, and fantasized about death from a young age.
I know loads of diagnosed-gifted kids with the same experiences. That's what these parents should expect, not a super-successful future where their child can achieve anything. And they shouldn't be setting the expectations so high before the kid has a sense of their identity by inducting them into MENSA.
If the parents are reading this: make sure your child knows she is always loved regardless of her performance and identity, that she needs to learn how to build connections with all sorts of people, that it's okay to struggle, and that there's more to her than being smart. And most importantly: teach her to work hard, pick herself up and take responsibility when she fails, and to be kind to others. All stuff everyone should pursue.

Nothing to be proud of. Average people deem people 'gifted' and 'genius' out of ignorance.
@@crayfishtv I agree. Not proud of it lol, that's just the term a psychologist gave my parents when I was 6. I wish there wasn't an obsession with IQ in our school system.
@@theirdarkmaterialsI think teachers just have a 'compulsion' to try to make other kids feel bad about themselves. What parents do now is.. they put iPads in front of toddlers and see if they can get them to read before they enter K, not realizing that its causing a cognitive 'delay' .. Other things like not teaching cursive anymore - its not taken into account that its also fine motor skills and cognition - there are peripheral skills associated with it. I would say the majority of teachers value 'reading' over the ability to complete tasks. Every normal person is 'gifted' they just don't realize it or don't have an opportunity to exploit their talents.
