Anala — who learned the alphabet when she was only 4 months old, her parents say — has an IQ over 145. The New Orleans toddler recently was invited to join Mensa, the high-IQ society for people who score at the 98th percentile or higher on the standardized intelligence test. Anala is in the 99th percentile.

I love IQ threads on Reddit. Those guys are very sensitive about their scores/the meaning of IQ.

Anala Beevers is 4 and smarter than you.


That really is a terrible name and no she is not smarter than me.

ETA: I found a list of the top 10 IQs ever and it's WAY wrong because Otto has an IQ if 181 and he isn't on it! LINK

I qualify from my ACT score back when the ACT test used to mean something.

Around '84. They accept pre-'89 ACT scores. A 29 qualifies you for both MENSA and the Top One Percent Society (TOPS). Today's ACT scores do not correlate with the older test scores in percentile. I think a 34 today is equivalent to a 30 on the older tests.
