3-YEAR-OLD JOINS MENSA

A 3-year-old Malaysian boy, who lives in Britain, has become the youngest member ever of Mensa, the largest and oldest high IQ society in the world. Muhammad Nadzim was invited to join British Mensa after scoring 142 on the Stanford-Binet IQ test, placing him in the 99.7th percentile. The test assesses math, reading, memorization and logical thinking skills. His mom, Nur Anira Asyikin, an engineer, said the family knew Nadzim was special. She calls him her “little brainbox.” His mom says, “He’s very much your typical 3-year-old. He really loves painting and reading books, really anything arts and crafts. He loves playing with Legos and Play-Doh.”
* He also loves playing the viola, designing machines to clean up plastic in the ocean, and hitting the walls with a stick.
* “Mr. Smarty-Trainingpants,” they call him.
* And sometimes “Really Young Sheldon.”
* How smart is he? Did he buy the story about a stork bringing him?
* He plays chess against him mom. If he wins, he can go to the bathroom in his diaper instead of using the training potty.
* At age 3, he’s emotionally the same age as all the other grown-up Mensa members.
