Oscar Wrigley, a two-year-old with the same IQ as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking, has become the youngest boy in Britain to be accepted into Mensa.
Assessors at the Gifted Children’s Information Centre in Solihull said Oscar, with an IQ of at least 160, is one of the brightest children they have every come across. He has been ranked in the 99.99th percentile of the population and has been ranked off the scale as the Stanford-Binet test cannot measure higher than 160.
Oscar’s father Joe, 29, an IT specialist from Reading in Berkshire, said: “Oscar was recently telling my wife about the reproductive cycle of penguins. “He is always asking questions. Every parent likes to think their child was special but we knew there was something particularly remarkable about Oscar.
“I’m fully expecting the day to come when he turns around and tells me I’m an idiot.”
Her parents knew Georgia Brown was bright. After all, she could count to ten, recognised her colours and was even starting to dabble with French. But it was only when their bubbly little two-year-old took an IQ test that her towering intellect was confirmed.
Georgia has become the youngest female member of Mensa after scoring a genius-rated IQ of 152. This puts her in the same intellectual league, proportionate to her age, as physicist Stephen Hawking.
According to an expert in gifted children, Georgia is the brightest two-year-old she has ever met. Parents Martin and Lucy Brown have always regarded their youngest child as a remarkably quick learner
She was crawling at five months and walking at nine months.
By 14 months, she was getting herself dressed.
“She spoke really early – by 18 months she was having proper conversations,” Mrs Brown said.
Georgia was so perceptive that after one outing to the theatre to see Beauty and the Beast she solemnly informed her parents: “I didn’t like Gaston (the villain). He was mean and arrogant.”
Struck by the similarities between her daughter and Matilda, the title character in the Roald Dahl story about a gifted child, Mrs Brown began to worry about Georgia’s future education.

everyone’s very skeptical about how this kid will grow up like or about how the parents use their kid to make themselves famous. i think that the people are just insecure.
Pardon me for saying this, but i feel that the people are just jealous that the kids are like so much smarter than them. Bringing back to my point, i guess many of us are insecure and we tend to bring people down so that we can make ourselves feel better.
Recently, i’m a bit pissed because of it. Sometimes, we can keep our comments to ourselves. We must strike a balance between disparagement and compliment. Honestly speaking, if someone did really well or something along that line, i would compliment the person. However some people tend to go overboard saying that they did really well and guess what!
okay confession time.
sometimes i pull people down on purpose because i know that some people will get prideful and forget the work they are suppose to do. You may say i am insecure or whatever, but i know that if i dun pull them back to earth, they are like gone with the wind. okay, i am crapping but yeah. If you understand what i mean.
