2 year old girl joins high-IQ society Mensa

A two-year-old girl named Isla McNabb from Crestwood, Kentucky, United States, has become the youngest member ever to join the famous high-IQ society Mensa. Guinness World Records has officially recognized Isla’s exceptional cognitive abilities, scoring in the 99th percentile for her age group on the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale.
Mensa International, the world’s largest high-IQ society, requires individuals to score at or above the 98th percentile on a standardized IQ test for membership. Isla’s inclusion in Mensa at such a young age reflects her place in the top 2% of the population in terms of intelligence.

Isla’s parents noticed her extraordinary focus from a young age. Seeing her bright intelligence, they were amazed when, at just seven months old, Isla began identifying specific objects from picture books. By her first birthday, she was already mastering colors, numbers, and the alphabet.
On her second birthday, Isla received an erasable writing tablet, setting the stage for a revelation that surprised her family. When her father, Jason McNabb, wrote words like “red,” “blue,” “yellow,” “cat,” and “dog” on the tablet, Isla read them effortlessly. The discovery extended beyond the tablet, with words like “chair” and “sofa” written in multicolored toy letters strategically placed around the house. Isla’s exceptional literacy skills attracted the attention of a psychologist specializing in gifted children.

Describing the psychologist’s reaction, Isla’s father, Jason McNab, shared, “He doesn’t usually test children under the age of two, but after hearing about her talent he made an exception. “
