Isla, a young resident of Kentucky in the USA, has become the youngest member of Mensa, the club of the smartest people on the planet.
Isla McNabb is in the top 1% of the smartest people in the world. How do you get to a club like this at only 2 years old?
According to Washington Post, Jason and Amanda McNabb, Isla’s parents, decided to have their daughter’s IQ tested after watching her name things around the house using toy letters. A bit like Matilda in her porridge in the famous film which will perhaps have a remake with Ralph Fiennes.
After walking around the house naming and writing all of the furniture and their cat, she quickly understood hundreds of words and is now able to read, a skill most children don’t learn until after school. six or seven years old.
